Episode Notes
 
Writer/Producer Jon Kinnally was uncredited for his role as Mitchell.
 
The idea of the gay network was to parody rival conmpany Viacom's idea of a gay network, which at the time of this episode is planned for 2005.
 
This episode followed one of the 2004 Presidential Debates on NBC. Due to the fact that the debate went on for longer than scheduled, there were no commercials between the opening and the first act so the show could end on time.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Will: As a gay network, we have a responsibility to our community. Right now, our programs in general are kind of on the fluffy side. And I'm not talking about the show called "On the Fluffy Side." Where's the the historical perspective on gay life in this country? Where's the show about our continuing struggles? Where's the show that asks the hard questions? And I'm not just talking about the show called "The Hard Question."
Tim: Okay. Thank you, Will. Now let's hear from somebody else. (Points to Jack) How about you. What are your thoughts?
Jack: Me? Oh, no. My friend here is the smart one. I'm just the pretty sidekick.
 
Grace: I'm just in a really good mood. I found a therapy group that I really like.
Will: Oh, great. Where?
Grace: Alcoholics Anonymous. It's fantastic, and, you know, not just for alcoholics anymore.
Will: Uh, yes, it is.
Grace: No. No, no, no. You don't know, Will. No, the program's for anyone with a problem.
Will: No, it's not.
 
Grace: Don't get so worked up, Karen. Just take it one day at a time.
Karen: What did you say?
Grace: I said take it one day at a time.
Karen: One hoo at a ha?
Grace: You know, easy does it. Let go and let God.
Karen: Where did you hear that? Who taught you that hate speech?

Look at the paper Eric is reading. He turns the pages in one shot to see the backside, but in the next we see the back remains the same.
