Baywatch, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, Will and Grace, etc. are all quite popular here on Star, HBO and Z Cafe networks. I'm surprised that India can handle so much gay content, or that it can idolize a middle aged white man in a bathing suit... but apparently it can. Oh, and don't forget... Full House. Hugely popular. Ugh.
