Earlier this month, we told you about West 40s, the hotly anticipated new web series that would be making its debut later this summer.
The series follows five gay men in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen gayborhood on their various quests for sex, love, and companionship while at the same time navigating what it means to be gay in their 40s.

Well, it’s finally here! The episode was released yesterday… and we’re already hooked!
The series, which is co-created by Mark Sam Rosenthal and Brian Sloan, was funded through a Kickstarter campaign last year and is being described as a “coming-of-middle-age comedy.”
Watch Episode 1 below.

Is this about 40+ men crying about not getting 20 something twinks, and telling how hard it is to be 40+ because those young twinks are not into them?

I actually found that kind of funny because it’s not far from the truth. We all know plenty like that.

Kind of cute but the story would work better if they’d advanced the guys ages up. Clearly they’re significantly older then 40. Easily 50s. It just kind of makes it distracting since all the jokes are made for 50 somethings.

All of you in your 20’s and 30’s reading this just do not know how, in the blink of your own eye, you’ll be in your 50’s and 60’s. That is, if you’re lucky. So back off. The clock keeps on ticking.

Some of us are, and because of good genes can easily pass for our mid 40’s

I only started having gay sex in my late 40s. So, I’ll check this out.

West 50s is more appropriate. The actors are as much in their 40s as Jane Fonda is in her 60s on GRACE & FRANKIE.

It’s offensive that this type of GARBAGE is produce by gay men! Instead of focusing on the joy and wisdom that come with maturity. We get tired, bitchy, queens reinforcing the stereotype of old gay perverts. I guess it takes too much talent, courage, and originality to show over 30 gay men as happy, masculine, well adjusted, and basking in the accomplishments of life?

“We get tired, bitchy, queens”
Have you read some of your posts lately? Pot, kettle and all that.

I have to agree. Poorly written, unfunny and it’s the same gay bitchy bs that makes me want to avoid gay bars like the plague. I have plenty of gay friends that DO NOT sound like the Real Housegays of HK Lispy. STILL waiting for some intelligent and funny gay TV show to fill the void.

A-men!
First thing I did was look at the cast:
Older queen with 70s gay porn mustache
Bitchy, catty, overweight queen
Token black queen
Gruff, bear-wannabe (needs to add a few pounds though)
One-time-bi-but-wound-up-being-gay-instead guy
drag queen (check)
Twinks (check)
bar/drinking (check)
Obsessing about twinks (check)
Just another yawn-fest. Funny, 15 minutes of preview and not one real laugh. I think that I’ll stick to “Where the Bears Are” and reruns of “Vicious” if I want to get a fix of FUNNY, older gay men.
