Sean Hayes is the scapegoat, don't blame him !

The problem is Les Moonves, for some reason everybody in Hollywood
thinks he's a genius. All the sitcoms on CBS basically have the same
formulas which is dealing with crazy in-laws. Some of them are really
funny because of the writers and some of them are not. The successful
ones are "Everybody loves Raymond" and "King of Queens" but those shows
had great supporting characters while "The Millers" not so much but that
doesn't necessarily means that this show needs to be axed immediately.
Last year the show was funny and had potentials but also was on right
after "TBBT". This year CBS let the show float on its own plus let it be
the lead it for other sitcoms which is a huge mistake. If Sean Hayes was
really the problem then they could easily write him out, Les Moonves doesn't
have to cancel the show and not only that but the remaining taped
episodes probably won't see the light of day. Does Sean Hayes have
that much power to do that to a show?

I agree that was kind of a crappy thing to do to Sean Hayes. Obviously there were problems with this show, I'm still surprised it was cancelled since it did so well last year. 

The shows you named also didn't have some gay character that made sure you knew he was gay in every scene. Hayes plays one character and it worked for him once he needs to change gears or go away.

Re-read your comment and consider this. The character of Nathan (Will Arnett) is practically a slut and is either making a slutty comment about women or on a date with one of his many female pursuits on almost every episode of the show filmed. If he's so adament about his heterosexuality with his character, why would Sean's behavior bother you, if he's simply acting his part?

And before you accuse-me-of-accusing-you of being (GASP) the H-word (politically correct America's favorite new term), let me stop you right there. That doesn't make you a homophobe, mate. It makes you a flat out hypocrite.

No, Nathan isn't a male whore.

Nathan is a superficial and egotistical but also smart, charming and a funny guy. You can't really go wrong with him.

What is this male whore you speak of? I called him a slut. "Practically a slut". There's a difference, dude.

[–] Philip_90 9 years ago

Difference is that Nathan was never a male slut, or a slut.
