News, Reviews & Commentary on Gay and Bisexual Men in Entertainment and the Media

Queerview television guide for November 20

Betty and Marc battle each other for a chance to advance their careers while Justin's relationship with his "ballet bully" gets complicated on Ugly Betty. Meanwhile, Luke brings some fireworks to grandma Loocy's surprise wedding reception on As the World Turns. Be sure to join us as we liveblog the action starting at 2PM Eastern, because this is starting to get good.

Check out the full listings after the break!

As the World Turns (CBS) Check local listings
Luke learns that the most awkward wedding bells rang in Oakdale while he was sleeping, as Lucinda married the guy who was kissing him just a few hours earlier.

The View (ABC) Check local listings
Desperate Housewives' fabulous new sister act Lily Tomlin and Kathryn Joosten visit the View couch today. Naturally, I'm pretty curious to see what would happen if Elisabeth Hasselbeck tries repeating her fact-free, anti-gay talking points around La Tomlin.

The Tyra Banks Show (syndicated) Check local listings
Today's show sees same-sex couples meet up with family members whose opposition to equal rights for gays threatens to ruin their upcoming wedding. On paper this sounds like the kind of premise that should include lots of screaming and security guards breaking up fights and I don't see Tyra as someone who elevates every discussion ... the actual show couldn't possibly have anywhere to go from there but up, right?

Ugly Betty (ABC) 8:00 PM EST
It's Marc versus Betty as the two assistants battle for a position in a young editors training program. In order to prove themselves, they each have to create a magazine in 48 hours. Maybe this'll give Bravo the idea to show the CW how to do a magazine reality show? Meanwhile, Justin "makes an unlikely friend" ... which might be his Billy Elliott rival.

ER (NBC) 10:00 PM EST
While I don't see any signs of Chaz in tonight's episode, out actor Stephen Spinella, recently of Desperate Housewives and soon of Milk, shows up as one of the patients of the week.

The Sarah Silverman Program (Comedy Central) 10:30 PM EST
While Sarah renews her relationship with her presumed-dead father, Brian feels compelled to watch his newest DVD purchase until he's seen it enough times to make up for the expense. Now that's the kind of story we haven't seen often enough this season; with all the injury stories, we haven't seen enough of Brian and Steve just be a couple of gay nerds with misplaced priorities

Late Night with Conan O'Brien (NBC)
Conan's guests tonight include Rosie O'Donnell, who should be discussing her upcoming variety show, and Ugly Betty fave Becki Newton.

    What about queerview mentions for

    Bones and House? Maybe I've missed them but both these shows both have active gay story lines and I haven't seen them reviewed or mentioned here. On Bones, Angela asked her ex college girlfriend, who she started seeing again after ending her engagement, to move in with her. On House, 13 just came out as a bi but more lesbian party girl just living life before she dies in a few years. Both characters are played without apology or shame and are fully accepted by their friends and coworkers. Thanks!

    The ladies

    We actually only cover the gay fellas over here, as our sister site AfterEllen handles the shows with lesbian plots, actresses and characters. But thank you for the tips!

       I've thought from

     

     I've thought from the very first Billy Elliot epsiode that Ballet Bully's going to turn into Justin's First Kiss~ it may not happen to night but I still bet that's where the arc's headed...
