Pretty Handsome (4oz) ... and other gay pilots for the 2008-2009 season.

Has anyone else seen the pilot from Ryan Murphy (Nip/tuck) about a man beginning his journey as a transgender? The pilot leaked yesterday and I must say it is AMAZING. I've never been this touched by a trans story. The show is suposed to air on FX however FX may or not have decided to pick up the series which is a shame. I do not know if we are allowed to post links to torrents here but you can find it easily on the internet by typing "pretty handsome preair" on google

ps: Also a note to say that there is a gay character on ABC's show Do Not Disturb.... also leaked on the Internet.

I downloaded it just now, so I'm gonna watch it, But I did watch Do not disturb, and it really sucked. Altough good actors it was never really funny. Another pilot that has leaked, don't know for how long it has been available, but it's called Raising the Bar, and I think it's gonna air on TNT (if they picked it up, which I have no idea about), and it's actuallya good show, it you like legal shows, and it also has a gay character (but not one who is out)

I also downloaded "raising the bar". I haven't watched it yet.

Do not disturb was so not funny. Way too muh forced for my type of comedies(The Office, My name is earl). The actors were nice I guess yet the writing and some charaters were way over the top. The gay guy was somehow not that stereotypical (compared to the "great" year 2006 that brought us "Help Me Help You" and "the Class") however he is far from being endearing.

An other "gay pilot" leaked, "True Blood" (HBO) features a black gay character working as a cook in small town bar. Although a little effeminate, he is confident in himself and takes to sh*t from no one which will make an interesting character to follow.

It is however missing 2 or 3 scenes and the end is quite abrupt. It is definitely not the final cut that will air. However I must say it has potential. Anna Paquin is very lovely and although it has a Buffy/Angel thing going on the show, several characters draw me in.

At moments a bit slow, but I agree with you: Its got potential.

I never was interested in the book series, but I could definetely watch this show.

I just watched "Raising the bar" H and you are right, it is a good legal type of show. I usually dread that genre (the exception is Damages on FX) but the little show has a good heart behind it. I totally did not see the gay/bi character coming. *Spoilers* I thought that you were refering to the muscled homophobe guy in prison. But it is quite interesting that on the contrary, it is the guy pleasing his female boss. If he is actually bi and not faking it with his boss it would be a very rare thing on tv right now. A bi guy. */Spoilers*

I actually did think he was gay at first, so I was surprised to see him with his boss, but I think he's only with her to get promoted or something like that. It seemed like he was only playing with her to get something he needed, but I hope I'm wrong about that. But other than that, all the other characters on that show were likable I think.
