New sitcom with the gay guy Max. Did anyone see the first two episodes yesterday? I loved the show! It was really funny, and I adore Max already! He is funny and cute and a typical guy, who's not defined by his sexuality. And that is very refreshing! All of his friends were comfortable with him, he was an equal, a member of their group. Oh yeah, and he actually talks about his sex life too! He's not one of those sexless gays you often see on tv. My only pet pevee about the first two episodes was that we didn't really see him getting physical with another guy.. anyway, hopefully we'll see that later on! Hopefully this show won't get cancelled, because I loved it, it was smart and funny, and Max is adorable too

I love Max, not only is he not a two dimensional stereotypical character. But he's very good looking in my opinion, he's smart, he's funny, he's proud to be gay, and he has solid friendships with everyone in the group. It's not even an issues that he's gay, he's just their friend who happens to be gay. But that is not the only thing about him.
I really hope the show shows him in relationships with guys. I know he seems like the type of guy to be looking for fun and casual now. But I want to see him actually out on dates, kissing, holding hands, showing affection, etc. Maybe having a guy stay over, I don't want to just have it be some comment that we never see. I get why they didn't show it in the first two episodes those were focus mainly on the two characters that just broke up at their wedding. But hopefully soon, we will see him have a guy spend the night and maybe a quick kiss before he leaves.

While I am still not sure whether I like the show overall or not, I agree Max is a unusual non-stereotypical gay character. The chubby joke is a little mean, but they have done it light-heartedly. The remark of "Paul Rudd who is giving up" is funny but right on mark (I love Paul Rudd!) of their slight resemblance.

And it was mainy the biggest issue I had with the show.. but then again. we are just two episodes in and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully they'll show Max romantically involved soon Also.. Thanks to HQ75 for posting those clips! Very appreciated

Yeah I'm guessing the actor is straight since he is married to a woman. But I hope he would be willing to have a gay swinging bachelor who seems to have a healthy sex life be physical with other male actors. I'm not expecting a sex scene or full on making out, but a kiss or some kind of affection would be great. I hope in this day and age that gay characters don't just talk about things off screen and then don't get the same romantic treatment the straights do.
I think I would be over the moon if his room mate walked into the kitchen to get coffee one morning and found Max and a guy eating cereal and reading the paper. And the guy tells Max you have my number and gives him a quick kiss. Of course I would want more, especially if they give him a boyfriend. But I'm guessing the show will start out slow, I just don't want him to be another gay character that's all talk and no action.
I love the idea that he has some plumpness to him, it looks good on him. Actually I prefer guys with some meat on them, six packs are nice and all. And he's not even that fat, he just has a little more weight than most guys you see on tv these days.

I love this show too! Hopefully it won't get cancelled.. I actually think Max and Penny are the most interesting characters, more interesting than Alex and Dave. They need more screen time! They're practically stealing all the scenes they're in already ETA: just saw the episode and the kiss between Max and Dave was sooo sweet and cute!

Penny really is Max's gay husband, those two are so in time with each other.
