Noah's Arc

set design, lighting and wardrobe are outstanding! among the best on broadcast or cable. hopefully the production will submit for awards. hair and makeup should also be noted. the casting is oh so thoughtful but what else would be expected from a native mississippian? something about that part of the south breeds thoughtfulness in artistic expression, at least to me. content, as other commentators have noted is indeed groundbreaking and this show has the potential to build bridges and tolerance. most people who are uncomfortable with gay people don't know any, at least none who live in truth. let's hope logo holds onto it and gives it solid (and thoughtful!) marketing and pr support. everybody who's a fan take note of the show's advertisers and let them know you appreciate their courage and good taste.(well, i am watching the ads now...enzyte and guys gone wild...but still the courage part can still apply...)

I can not believe that they canceled this series. I've heard nothing but positive comments. I am very disappointed, could they not at least tie up all the loose ends? I think they owe the faithful watchers of the series at least that. I certainly hope they could give us at least one more season, or a least one more show, to do just that.

I was just watching the marathon on Logo, figuring they were doing this because the new season would start next week. Imagine my surprise when I decided out of the blue to go to Christian's web page, to find that it was canceled? I just don't understand. Is there any way that we can get the show back? I'm not understanding how shows can be popular, even win awards and one so-called network person can say that the want it canceled and it just goes?

Not fair guys.

I'm not a black gay male but a bi black woman and I love this show! I have a lot of gay friends and although this show does not represent the majority of black gay males I definitely see a resemblance between the characters in this show and some of my friends! Anyone who expects what they consider to be a "realistic" vision of themselves shown on TV or a movie screen is being ridiculous! Of course, you aren't going to see "you"; but don't condemn a show based on your idealistic views! If that was the case there would be NOTHING at all on TV or at the movies! How many other shows do you watch or movies do you go to that are absolutely a mirror image of you? NONE!!! It's all about identifying with the characters and the situations; and this show gives you this!!! It gets an A++++!!!!!

I just love this series! All the characters are not only wonderful but sexy! Wade must be the sexiest man on TV apart from Rockmond Dunbar! What I like about this show is that it does tackle some serious issues but gives you some nice light hearted moments. It is fun to watch and is always over too soon! I am sure that if this show was released on one of the major networks it would be a success. I do think people would connect with the stories and I am sure they would love the sexiness of the show.

However, if it was picked up by a major network, it would probably get the Will and Grace treatment and that would spoil the whole thing!

Noah's Arc is a show about four black gay men dealing with all sorts of human issues dealt not just within the gay community, but within every community. Noah, played by Darryl Stephens, is a wallflower, screenwriter type who is looking for the perfect love in Wade. Wade, played by Jensen Atwood, is also a screenwriter who has never been in a relationship with a man, until he met Noah. Noah has three friends. Alex, played by Rodney Chester, who runs an HIV clinic and is going through the ups and downs of being in a long term relationship. Ricky, played by Christian Vincent, is the promiscuous store owner on Melrose, who is protective over his friends and afraid of monogamy. Chance, played by Doug Spearman, is a college professor, who is adjusting to the idea of having a husband and raising a child. Each one of these actors are tailor made for their parts on this show. I know the show is not for everyone, and it's not claiming to be for everyone. But if your into watching a show dealing with human beings with human issues that remind you of yourself or someone you know, I guarantee you'll love this show. Patrik Ian Polk has done an amazing job creating a show that incorporates comedy, drama and lust in a time frame of 22 minutes. I just wish the show was longer. I really hope that this show continues to grow and stays on the air for a very long time. In 2006, its about time someone like Patrik Ian Polk had the guts to say screw the masses and create a show as groundbreaking as Noah's Arc. This is a great wake up call for all people.
