Rick Steve Season 1

My partner and I caught a clip of this between a movie on Logo - and rented it from Netflix. After episode 1 we ordered it from Amazon - this is an hilarious show - well scripted. The humor lasted from episode to episode - and everyone Gay and Straight would find this entrancing. The cliches are great and the puns are groaners but we are convinced if you don't roll on the floor with laughter after episode 1 - then you won't find anything humorous.... Anyone who can animate "Lego" like characters and turn them into these stereotypical but unoffensive portrayals of life in a gay village is a pure genius. Rick and Steve may be the happiest gay couple in the world, but their bussom budies in the cast are just as cool - we loved Dana, Chuck, Evan and Kirsten too ... not forgetting Pussy ... A witty line from the show Dana - "I won't ever mess with Pussy again"- that made our laughter lines grow bigger. A+ and now we have season two on delivery for the 3rd ... Read more

For the passed few years, friends have been talking about a show on Logo, a cable channel that presents gay themed, or gay-friendly progamming. Rick and Steve has to be one of the most original shows i have seen in years. I was hooked from the first show i watched. I won't repeat what many reviewers mentioned, but will stress that this show at times is vulgar (thankfully), and very funny. So, it's not intended for the kiddies despite it's cartoonish look. Knowing it takes the producers alot of time to create the show, am hoping for more. I already have Series 2. If you prefer mindless and sometimes political humor with sexual references thrown in with tons of insults, this is for you. Read more

For LGBTQ-friendly types who enjoy postmodern cartoons (think Southpark meets a gayer SpaceGhost mixed w/ Harvey Birdman living in a gay ghetto), this is absolutely spectacular. I discovered this series as a stressed out first-year law student, and it has kept me sane and happy. There's cattiness, bitchiness, flaming queens, creepy sugar daddies, song-and-dance numbers with suggestive scenes of threesomes eating hot dogs and tacos, pregnant bull dykes, and so much more. I cannot recommend this series highly enough. Read more

The first season of "Rick & Steve" is true to life. It is a remarkably accurate piece on life in the gay ghetto and suggests that the most serious, accurate and precise account of some of the more important social issues surrounding LGBT can be delivered in a funny, cheerful and colorful package. I wish they would show this in every classroom in the world. Read more

Hi, I live in the United Kingdom, so not being able to see this show on TV first I decided to buy it based on the previous good reviews it has got. I was not disapointed, this is a great show, by the time I got to the end of the second episode I was hooked and watched the whole dvd. I hope they make another series, this show could really take off if it goes global. I love the characters, the style of the show, and its well written. This show could become a gay classic, its certainly got lots of potential. Read more

Bought season 1&2 at the same time...remembered watching this on LOGO when it aired and enjoying it. NO apologies to anyone equal opportunity offenders-nothing is off limits from gay to str8 to religion or politics. If you get offended easily this is NOT for you: if you ahve a sense of humor that has a twist to it then it is. Read more

This is a great series. Not for kids due to the explicit jokes but if you like South Park and Avenue Q, you'll probably enjoy Rick & Steve! Read more

I must say that i first thought that Logo was getting a bit desperate when i saw that it looked like some kid had taken the "Lego" video camera system you could make movies with and made a show. I now realize these are legally distinct from "Legos", "Megabloks", or "Duplos" and far more entertaining. I had seen someone somewhere compare this to South Park and indeed in the extras they mention it is from studios that helped to produce that show. This show had me amused by the mere introduction with plinky quiet little vocalizations that go from one to many as the theme song proceeds to a huge over the top chorus by the time they introduce Rick and Steve. This show is FUNNY, and extremely quotable. In fact the characters even poke fun at their own personalities and characters from time to time. Rick is a Filipino bottom. He's got a few body issues (what gay man doesn't) but he's got a genius level IQ which is underplayed due to his submissive nature. Unlike Bush, Rick truly is the Uniter of the cast and does it frequently. Steve is about average intelligence but has a body built like a block. He's sweet and really cares about Steve but has a very adventurous side that Rick does not always share. Dana is your stereotypical lesbian, she's extremely aggressive towards men probably because of problems with them in the past which i think is hinted at in the way she talks about men. Dana and Steve do NOT get along and i've loved the banter that they shoot back and forth. I also have to say that Dana has some of the funniest lines in the entire show, her sharp, uncompromising viewpoint and strength is what Kirstin admires. Kirstin (her wife) is quiet kinda like Rick in fact they've been friends for "a long time". She is socially aware, at about the same level as Dana but she cares far more about how what she says and does impacts others. Chuck is a "pillar of the community" he's HIV+++, in his late 50's, and confined to a wheel chair. He has a darker sense of humor than most characters and absolutely delights in torturing them. He's also openly extremely kinky which is a bit surreal at times because the characters gloss over it not because they're ignoring him but because they're so used to it it doesn't shock them but it hits the audience as a bit of a surprise. Evan is 19 and is Chuck's bf, he's a complete air head who tweaks on so many drugs they end up sort of balancing him out. He's extremely dumb but loveable nonetheless. He loves Chuck and as much as they fight and taunt each other it's sweet because they both know they were made for one another (quite literally). The cast is an all star collection of actors and actresses who really bring these characters to life. I was entertained by every storyline in here and the digisodes are VERY worth watching, especially the one on straight jokes (quick! What'd you call a septic tank full of straights?). The downsides, this dvd is SHORT. The shows are 25 minutes long and there are exactly 6. This show's first season is as much of a pilot as the first episode is. Although the show has some plot holes in it, it took me a time or two of watching to notice the holes and they are minor. In the interest of being critical, Rick and Steve is a good first attempt at a show like this on Logo and you should take that into consideration while watching this. 6 episodes, minor plot holes in some episodes, and limited extra content are the worst of what you get. Is it a good attempt for a new network with little funds? Very much so. Is it worth it's price? Depends on the person, i would actually recommend trying to catch a show on Logo or maybe renting it first to see how you like it. I watched one episode on Logo and ordered this expedited shipping. Personally i think the show has great potential and I'm dying for next season. Buenos Smooches all! Read more
