Ahead of its time

Not very good in terms of acting or story but VERY adult and frank. It aired here in Boston at 11:30 at night for only a few months. I was REALLY surprised at some scenes--especially the extensive male nudity. There was one shot where a guy got out of bed totally nude and casually walked out of the room...and the camera never looked away. From what I remember, there was no frontal but just showing the guys butts was surprising for TV. I wouldn't mind seeing a DVD release of this. If they can do "The Dukes of Hazard" they can do this! The previous poster mentioned a positive gay relationship in this. I honestly don't remember that but that's just one more reason this should be available.
