Let's get kilts on a TV show

[Colin]

Now that's just damn mean of you. YOU might consider Duncan "bumbling" but it seemed very clear to ME that although he was naive and rough about the edges he was always sincere, loyal and ernest...and it was a TV series, fer God's sake...there has to be that kind of dynamic that creates situations that make it INTERESTING...you wanna watch an hour of "real life"?

Oh, don't get me wrong, I loved watching all 7 seasons of the show and go back and watch them over again often. Duncan was a great character, but he wasn't going to get the tough guys that think they are living the role of the romantic lead in life to try on a kilt. I wish more people had the humanity, inquisitiveness, concern, and wonder lust that the character of Duncan had. He just wasn't given his fair shake. He started to grow as a character in series' 4-6, but his return in series 7 brought back the bumbling kid from season 1 (blame the lack of good writing ).

I don't really think this is a serious topic, nor one any of us can change. American TV will almost always portray the kilt as a gimmick (World According to Jim, Sex in the City, Judging Amy, short lived John Goodman show, etc, etc) as it just isn't part of US culture.

I do agree that if the character just wore a kilt and it was not refered to often, it may work, but than again how often do we get a reference to a kilt each day? You need to have the "question" and comments from time to time.

Yes, it takes only one influential person to wear the kilt and it may adapt. How many celebs have worn a kilt to a premiere? Sam Jackson, Mel Gibson, David Duchovny, Ewan MacGregor, Gerard Butler, Billy Boyd, Sir Sean Connery, David Coulthard, Nathan Fillion, Vin Diesel, Bob Weir, Kiefer Sutherland, Robbie Williams, Axl Rose, Sting, George Clooney, Ashton Kutcher, etc. have all worn a kilt publicily. That revolutionary moment hasn't happened yet.
