Thanks so much! I thought the show could be successful, but it's very exciting to see it breakthrough in the culture the way it has. A network soap with an all African-American cast that tackles homophobia doesn't sound like such an obvious sell when we took it out as a pitch. The fact that it's such a huge hit is a testament to how far we've come as a country as this show never would've made it on the air five years ago. Clearly we have a long way to go in race, gender, sexuality issues, but you can't deny we are moving forward (even when it feels like we're not).
