Very happy for you, Dan. I hope very much that we don't lose you in Seattle--I hope you can somehow manage to be everywhere at once. But however it works out best for you and your family--you'll have our support. Good luck next week!!

I adore this idea. Get that shit "Hung" off my TV for something realistic and much more entertaining.

Time Warner is down in the gutter now, officially. If some thought that the garbage they have dished out in previous years has contributed to the corrosion of the moral fiber in our society then wait and see. If they follow thru wth this they are giving the last rites to the societal body that has been afflicted with immoral leprosy. Completely.

On the positive side of things if they do go ahead it will be something only for subscribers. And in our difficult economy right now....

Out of the public broadcasting, out of mind. Thank you FCC.

Ps. Give your tickets to any of your minions here who applaud like seals the destructive idiocy you advocate. I wouldn't be caught dead in any place with you present in it, unless you retract from all the hateful and corrupt things you have said and written.

Oh, Loveschild. If your drawers weren't soiled, we'd know we were doing something wrong.

Yep you should totally have a hotline number/webcam for bloodlust (aka enfant d'amour) like an eric the midget bit – it would never get old

That and as mentioned above a hot chick to balance things out (and compare dick sucking techniques)

Bisous! xoxox

Good luck Dan! It's good to see that you are joining HBO's, as well as the rest of the main stream media's, quest to bring down the moral fiber in our society!

If your show gets picked up, we can scratch number 69 off the gay world domination to-do list! And, as a bonus, we'll be giving last rights to Loveschild's fragile faith and faltering family. She just won't be able to withstand your show!!! All hail Satan, er, I mean, Savage!

109, Loveschild do you realize that you sound like Sarah Palin, blaming the mainstream media, the homosexuals, and the liberal Hollywood elite for all the worlds problems?

Is it only a matter of time before we get Savage Love the breakfast cereal? Because I'd probably buy that if it existed.

Wow1 What fun! And what a great idea .....my only concern is a selfish one - please don't give up slogging.

LC @ 109: better emigrate if you won't be caught dead in any place that has Dan Savage in it! He is going to be ubiquitous in America !!!! And wait until international TV picks his show up ... :)

Congrats, Dan, you definitely deserve it. I'll be sad, though, if it means the end of your (insert superlative) podcast.

@109 Here is some more blather from that guy Tim in your book:

Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT)

And fro Ephesians

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

121, Don't be absurd! Being a Christian doesn't mean she must follow the Bible. It only means that she gets to attack others with cherry picked scriptures.

You made it on the Seattle PI home page! Only bigger things to come.

Yay! I got tickets! Now I have less than a week to try to make myself presentable. The instructions say I have to dress "hip" and "upscale", since I'll potentially be on camera.

OH NO! Don't leave Seattle! But yah, congrats, that is cool. Of course the show will be a huge success! Doesn't mean I won't give you the smack down for fat hate though! lol

Dan Savage for President!!!
I for one will feel safer in a world in which Dan Savage has access to the minds of the masses through mass media. Sucks that I'll have to probably buy a telly now. But even still.

Oh! I just found out we don't get HBO in Australia. Please Dan, make them transmit your show to all your non U.S. listeners!!!

Dan,

I'll definitly be watching if they put it on. But I hope it doesn't mean the end of the column or the podcast.

Good luck!

I'm so sad I have to share you with everyone else now! Lots and lots of best wishes and non-physical bear hugs. You have certainly helped me, go enlighten the rest of the public.

I'm very much looking forward to this, but don't own a TV set. I watch all my tv online. Make sure HBO knows to release your show on Hulu or similar so I can support your show when I watch online rather than just stealing it!

Dan, of course I will be very happy for you if this succeeds, but I shall miss you if it means that you leave Seattle and The Stranger. You are one of the best things to happen to the Seattle "gay community" in a very long time - as witnessed by all the bitter queens who sometimes wander in here.

Good luck Dan, it's wonderful that your sex positive message will spread to a wider population. I hope this will not mean an end to the fantastic podcast.
Gee, if Savage Love is on TV, they will need a full time staff of bleepers to deal with all the colorful forbidden language!

Anywhere that we can write to help this show get picked up. I'm usually near-giddy every time you're on Maher and would love you on HBO to be a regular occurrence.
