Queerview television guide for the weekend of August 3

Friday

The View (ABC) Check local listings
Proud AfterElton.com Hot 100 honoree Anderson Cooper stops by for a "special edition" fall preview episode that'll look ahead at "politics, television, film and fashion." Project Runway's Nina Garcia, Caroline Rhea and Melissa Claire Egan also participate.

Degrassi: The Next Generation (The N) 9:00 PM EDT
Tonight's the sixth season finale and I hear gay teen Marco gets a story once again, even as the show finishes a juicy storyline for lesbian character Lexi. Marco and Lexi have gotten a lot of focus, which makes sense since they're two of the more interesting (and adorable) characters on the show.

Saturday

The Graham Norton Show (BBC America) 10:00 PM
Joan Collins and Jason Donovan appear in tonight's episode. Here's to hoping Graham and Joan reenact Charlotte Rae's infamous "Joan Collins is a &#^*!" smackdown.

Sunday

Big Brother (CBS) 8:00 PM EDT
Now that Dustin is no longer HoH, will he have to face the possibility of being nominated for eviction this week? More importantly: without a certain somebody around, what the heck are we going to look at for an entire hour?

The Kill Point (Spike TV) 9:00 PM EDT
We know: we're continuing to recommend something on basic cable frathouse Spike TV?! Well, the gay character in this hugely appealing hostage crisis story is still around and, for the most part, this mini-series has offered solid drama. Am I the only one who finds the grammar obsession of Donnie Wahlberg to be something you'd expect of a Saturday Night Live sketch?
