Great show!

This is definitely one of the better shows. I love how the characters develop over time, e.g. David from being really uptight and closeted at the beginning to becoming more openminded after coming out of the closet. The humor is great, too, and it is wonderful to see that a show finally takes on the difficult theme of death and dying and does it in such a intelligent way. Why can't the networks produce such quality work?
