Television has finally created a man who can go toe-to-naked-toe with the bed-hopping ladies of "Sex and the City. Brian goes home with a different person every night, even when he's seduced a client into an office tryst earlier in the day. With that kind of irresistible charm, perhaps it's not surprising that his lesbian friends ask him to father their baby.

Watch now. Title: All Better Now 13 Jan Justin is unable to process Chris Hobbs' attack, or to accept physical contact, despite Brian's best efforts. Ted is fired for surfing porn at work. Michael and Emmett take jobs as naked waiters. This time, it's Melanie who proposes to Lindsay.
During the panel, the cast -- including Peter Paige Emmett , Gale Harold Brian , Randy Harrison Justin and Robert Gant Ben -- talked through their initial reactions to the extremity of the show, which they were first introduced to in the form of a massive contract stipulating they would definitely be getting naked. If you are not down to do this, don't take this job. Once the laughter died down, Paige looked over to Cowen and Lipman. Which I took as a bonus! After seeing the rider, his manager told him not to take on the role. But Paige insisted he needed to be a part of "Queer As Folk," regardless of what it would do to his career. Showtime loved how edgy the series was right from the start, but the sex scenes on "Queer As Folk" were never meant for pure shock value.

Queer as Folk is an American-Canadian serial drama television series that ran from December 3, to August 7, It was developed and written by Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman , who were the showrunners, and also the executive producers along with Tony Jonas, former President of Warner Bros. Based on the British series of the same name created by Russell T Davies , Queer as Folk was the first hour-long drama on American television to portray the lives of homosexual men and women. Although it was set in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , much of the series was actually shot in Toronto and employed various Canadian directors known for their independent film work including Bruce McDonald , David Wellington , Kelly Makin , John Greyson , Jeremy Podeswa and Michael DeCarlo , as well as Australian director Russell Mulcahy , who directed the pilot episode. Another main character, Ben Robert Gant , was added in the second season. The first episode finds the four friends ending a night at Babylon, a popular gay club. Brian picks up and has sex with Justin, who falls in love with him and eventually becomes more than a one-night stand. Brian also becomes a father that night, bearing a son with Lindsay through artificial insemination. Michael's seemingly unrequited love for Brian fuels the story, which he occasionally narrates in voice-over.
