Their son Lance was casually introduced into the gay social scene of Greenwich Village in what would remain one of the most matter-of-fact treatments of a homosexual TV "character" for decades. The series raised what seem like--in the Big Brother and MySpace era--quaint questions about how taping reality alters reality. But ethically justifiable or not, it remains...
