TotallyOz Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I have been watching this since the beginning. It is a great show. 2 lesbian mothers who are foster parents to a few kids. Great story. Very well developed gay characters that are not stereotypical. And, the boy in the kiss has been gay the whole time on the show for a few years and this is his first love. It is a very touching storyline. AdamSmith 1 Quote
AdamSmith Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 Also just so heartening in every way that the show is not from some edgy cable channel but a mainstream broadcast network (ABC). TotallyOz 1 Quote

Members MsGuy Posted March 25, 2015 Members Posted March 25, 2015 Jude paints up his fingernails. Conner: "What's that?" Jude: "War paint." ==== Note my superhuman restraint in waiting even this small decent interval to post these pics... Ever the sucker for a boy in blue. AdamSmith 1 Quote
TotallyOz Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 The show is great. Its portrayal of gay characters as role models is also inspiring. And, this new (not really new but been building up since Conner's BF painted his nails in support) foray into the mind of a gay teen (if that old) is very sweet. i know the gay media has been eating this up. I wonder what the conservative media has said? paborn and AdamSmith 2 Quote
AdamSmith Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 I know the gay media has been eating this up. I wonder what the conservative media has said? I looked around for that, and could only find one fringe (never heard of him before) evangelical blogger ranting about how "disgusting" it was. And this guy was of course one of those closet cases with a fixation on how seeing this on TV will lure impressionable young minds and gonads into "experimenting with homosexuality." If I can find him again I'll post his blog here. Quote
AdamSmith Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Ever the sucker for a boy in blue. Since the kiss scene got all the press and alerted me to this show I have madly joined what the fan blogs lovingly call themselves -- "jonnor trash". And thanks be to YouTube that I can follow the Jude/Connor bits without having to sit through the other half-dozen storylines. Really something how the writers gave this storyline such feeling in so little screen time. Quote
AdamSmith Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Saw a couple of entertaining interviews with Hayden and Gavin (separately) after the kiss show, each mentioning how funny that the other is not like the character. Gavin said how Hayden, unlike what you would expect from his portrayal of Jude, tends to be a "loud extroverted goofball." And Hayden was a bit hilarious saying "Gavin is a really manly guy. He's a very masculine, like, musclebound, person" so playing the sweet vulnerable infatuation with Jude was an achievement. Quote
TotallyOz Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 The finale episode just showed. It was a three night conclusion to an amazing show. I can honestly say I enjoyed every episode and this will be one show that I miss. It was beautifully written, acted and talked about relevant issues in the gay community. The last few episodes even talked about PrEP. It was truly a picture into the life of a great inclusive family. http://www.justjaredjr.com/2018/06/05/the-fosters-hayden-byerly-talks-saying-goodbye-to-jude/ AdamSmith 1 Quote
paulsf Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I will miss it also. I have the final 3 episodes taped and will watch this weekend. Almost from the beginning I binged watched each season. The story lines carried over each week, so was fun watching it all at once. TotallyOz and AdamSmith 2 Quote
TotallyOz Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 I did miss the original Jesus Adams Foster who was played by Jake T. Austin for the first few years and then it changed. I never found out why it changed. Quote
paulsf Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 I believe it was the usual cast change issues. Attitude issues and money. Quote
Members Lucky Posted June 8, 2018 Members Posted June 8, 2018 Oz seems to have access to every show on U.S. TV in Thailand. I don't have cable, so don't see much if it is not on Hulu or Netflix. TotallyOz 1 Quote

This is certainly something DADDY would never allow to be shown on HIS website, a "young" shirtless boy, especially in a compromising position.

Applause to the show AND to Oz for censoring CENSORSHIP ! I think you must understand the context of the original post. This young lad and another boy (both straight) had the first teenage gay kiss on TV and it was on The Fosters. It was truly a beautiful moment and if you have not seen the show and watched these 2 lesbian moms raise these foster kids, you are truly missing a great show. IMHO AdamSmith 1 Quote

IMHO I am aware of the show and I totally understood that, but still my comment stands. Paranoia would prevent the "event" from being shown or allowed on another site. It's interpretation would be "skewed"... And that beautiful moment would be perceived as an ugly "abomination".... Quote
