One More Thing Before We Go: More Noah’s Arc

Perhaps it should be titled “Noah’s Arc: Jumping the Shark?” I know fans were let-down that the show wasn’t picked up for a third season, but this is kinda silly.

This show has always been one of those entirely embarrassing guilty pleasures that you don’t dare admit to anyone that you actually WATCH – not because you like it, but because you can’t believe it will get any campier or unbearable (and then all of a sudden it does.) Yet, like a train wreck, you can’t take your eyes off of it once you’ve started an episode – though I often have a hard time making it to the end of a 29 minute episode without groaning, so I’m sure a full-length 2 hour movie will feel like having a Caesarian section.

On the whole, though, glad the show did well enough to make it to 2 seasons, despite the ridiculous wardrobe, the overwrought dialogue and the ham-handed plots – as David Alan Grier would say, “Have you LOST your damn mind?!”

And what’s with the curious lack of white people in this “gay black world” – none of the main characters dated anyone outside of their race. I guess the same was true on QAF, though…

One last punch while this bitch is down – Jenson Atwood’s hair makes him look like a whacked-out version of Gene Wilder in YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. Not too flattering…

Yes, you’re right, Wilson Cruz was on the show as Ricky’s “love” interest (insert sarcasm here.) I caught an episode last night where he guested.

Which brings me to another observation – after dating & breaking up with Wade, Noah kept meeting these really great guys who absolutely adored him & would have taken a bullet for him, yet he would always sabotage the relationship & his own happiness becausing he was still “carrying a torch.” True, none of the other guys had Wade’s perfectly arched eyebrows, but sorry, if I have to suspend my disbelief any more I’ll get a hernia.

On an entirely selfish note, I’d kill for Noah’s lips, shoulders and arms.

And yes, bring back to the cornrows.
