While the Fall TV season has been a bit of a letdown, I’ve happily discovered a little animation gem on Logo…Rick & Steve- The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World. Shot in stop motion animation using Playmobile figures from our collective youth, Rick and Steve is a fun, frivolous romp.
All props for discovering this show go to Entertainment Weekly who highlighted the show a couple of weeks back. After catching a season one marathon my partner was hooked and she encouraged me to give season two a watch. The show follows the title couple as well a varied cast in their LGBT community of West Lahunga Beach. The show works best when they focus on the struggles of all the couples. Rick and Steve deal with things gay or straight couples deal with all the time in the form of ex-lovers, body image issues, and starting a family. Sometimes the show belabors the LGBT jokes and goes for the easy jokes far too often, its an overall enjoyable view.
Rick & Steve- The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World, 9pm CST, LOGO
