Trivia
This show's premise is very loosely based on the childhood experiences of writer, "It Gets Better" campaign co-creator, and one of "The Real O'Neals"'s executive producers, Dan Savage who, like Kenny, grew up as a gay kid in a devoutly Catholic Irish-American family; his father was a Chicago cop and his parents divorced.

Noah Galvin

Noah Galvin reminds me of a young Matthew Broderick, circa "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". In fact even the use of self-narrations are similar. I'm surprised more people haven't noticed or mentioned this as they both are quite similar.

It would have been better casting to see Broderick as the father, would have looked more like Galvins dad. Their similar comedic mannerisms and expressions would have played off one another very well. Martin Short would have made a hilarious school principal.

Anyway I like this series so far. Will see how it goes as its too early to tell.
