Acceptable TV: Gayliens!

I don't know if you folks have been checking out the new "baby pilot" show Acceptable TV on VH1, but it's an interesting concept that has thus far been pretty successful: basically they create miniature pilots for proposed television shows and then ask the audience to vote on which ones they like. They bring back the pilots that do well and lose the ones that don't.

High points thus far have been Kitten Calendar (an amusing parody of America's Next Top Model with kittens) and... well, that's about it. But a good start!

Tonight's episode features a pilot called Gayliens! that asks, "what if aliens landed, and they happened to be gay?" Could be a disastrous concept, sure (remember the awful Gays in Space skits on SNL?), but they're doing it right, with the emphasis being on how preposterously hung up on homosexuality our human societies are. Here's a preview:

I love that the gay aliens are completely unaffected guys, which would likely throw off the humans more than anything. I'll be tuning in to see -- and I may even exercise my gay human right to vote for it!

Acceptable TV airs on VH1 at 10:00PM EDT.
