Queerview television guide: August 3

It's been a long wait but tonight Brando Eaton makes his debut on The Secret Life of the American Teenager as gay teen Griff.

And that's just part of a night of gay TV that includes Kathy Griffin being immortalized in wax on My Life on the D-List and Graham Norton visiting Chelsea Lately.

One Life to Live (ABC) Check local listings
While the spoilers I've seen make no mention of a Kish sighting today, OLTL shows off its gay sensibility with a Grey Gardens homage. I'm not usually a fan of Blair's storylines, but I've got my hopes up, based on the preview image.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family) 8:00 PM EDT
It's Ashley's first day at Grant High and she's lucky enough to find a guy destined to become her gay BFF to survive high school. Considering how much sex (or, at least, talk of sex) there is on this show, it should be interesting how it handles a gay teen character.

Sex in the Ancient World (History) 9:00 PM EDT
The History Channel's latest attempt to get viewers' attention by putting "sex" in the programming grid starts out with a look at Pompeii. The program description doesn't promise a look at same-sex sexuality but is it possible to overlook that aspect of Roman culture and hold onto your credibility?

Dance Your Ass Off (Oxygen) 10:00 PM EDT
With a personal call home on the line, this week's swing challenge means a lot to Ruben, who would really like to get to talk to his partner before he goes in for treatment.

Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (Bravo) 10:00 PM EDT
Kathy sees herself recreated in wax at Madame Tussauds and, now that Kathy's taught her mom about Facebook, it's time for Maggie to teach her daughter about this newfangled "reduce, reuse and recycle" idea. I have to admit, I'm not sure how this episode can not be a bit of a letdown after last week's awesomeness. Check out Maggie's way of cutting down on the amount of paper towels she sends to the landfill:

Raising the Bar (TNT) 10:00 PM EDT
It's a clerk turf war as Farnsworth tries to steal gay law cerk Charlie away from Judge Kessler.

Chelsea Lately (E!) 11:00 PM EDT
With Graham Norton visiting, I'm expecting a pretty lively exchange... either that or a constant battle to be heard.

It's Tuesday and Luke and Noah have found another reason for an argument.
