Disclaimer: As much as I wished that I had come up with the brilliance that is Queer as Folk, I sadly do not own it. Queer as Folk is an American television series that was produced for Showtime Entertainment by Cowlip Productions, Tony Jonas Productions, Temple Street Productions in association with Channel 4 Television. It was developed and written by Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman, who were also the executive producers along with Tony Jonas, former President of Warner Bros. Television.
