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

Which shows with gay characters or gay following are you watching/not watching?

I'm watching - Torchwood/Dr. Who, Brothers and Sisters, ATWT, Hollyoaks (but the repeats are pissing me off), Ugly Betty, Flipping Out, Lair, Dante's Cove

I'm not watching Greek, Desp Housewives, ANTM, Queer Eye, Survivor. And although there are no gay characters (that I know of) but there are gay actors I'm not watching Greys or How I met Your Mother...I tried but I just couldn't get into them.

I plan to watch Project Runway, Cashmere Mafia

I know I'm missing a buttload...I'll add on as people mention shows. We can sync up our Tivos

Desperate Housewives

is the only show I watch on a continuous basis, I will watch Ugly Betty on the re-runs, I play volleball on Thursday nights so I miss it.  I must admit I cannot abide soap operas like ATWT, my family life growing up was a soap opera so I don't want to waste time watching them.  I just found out though that my older sister's favourite soap is ATWT so I will grill her for the lowdown on Noah and Luke.

Cheers

My gay watching/not watching list.

 I'm watching Desperate housewives, Brothers & sisters, As the world turns, Ugly Betty, The lair, Dante's cove, Greek, and I watch the JP/Craig clips of Hollyoaks on youtube.I also like the character Foz and the gay guy who plays him.

I'm not watching Dr. Who, Queer eye, Survivor, How I met your mother, or Project runway.

The shows I kind of watch on and off, or occasionally are America's next top model, Grey's anatomy, I stopped watching Flipping out after a couple of episodes, but plan on seeing the rest when I can.I'm trying to get into Torchwood, and will give The Sarah Silverman program another try this season.I haven't had a chance to watch Eureka.

I don't remember what Cashmere mafia is about.Tomorrow is the season premier of Drawn together.It's one of my favorite shows, so i'm definately watching that.GayTVluver, you surprise me......again.I didn't figure you for one who indulges in the guilty pleasures that are Dante's cove and The lair.Does GayTV like to watch the pretty boys with their shirts off as much as I do?(LOL)........Because I've seen The lair, and it sure as hell isn't for the plot.(LOL)By the way, is that your dog?

I never said I didn't like attractive men...

...but shame on you for assuming I'm watching it for the attractive men. Tsk Tsk. I watch The Lair and Dante's Cove because I long for a really good Buffyesque/Charmish good gay show. Those shows are not it but they are the best we got. I want to be supportive of gay media also so I watch them. I can't tell you how many bad gay vampire books or short stories I have read...it hurts my . My guilty pleasures run deep...I've tolerated some real crap on tv for Hollywood crushes but those two shows really don't qualify, I'm more a fan of the genre than the guys that are on them...although Michael Von Steele (background in this photo is a handsome, hot guy)

Yes, that is my dog.

ATWT, UB, G, DH

I'm watching ATWT (love Luke), Ugly Betty, Greek and Desperate Housewives.  I have tried Dante's Cove but don't like it.  I watch Hollyoaks on YouTube from time to time but not regularly.

Watching/Not Watching

I'm watching a lot of the gay related shows like:

Ugly Betty

Torchwood (It is coming to CBC this Friday in Canada, but I saw all the episodes when I downloaded them from a torrent site)

Brothers and Sisters

ATWT (Love Luke and Noah. Hope they are permanent characters and won't be off the show after their relationship comes to fruition)

Doctor Who (love David Tennant)

Dirty Sexy Money (Hope the relationship continues with Patrick and his Transexual lover)

Desperate Houswives

Dante's Cove (I have season one and two on DVD and am waiting for season three. Can't get it on TV since I now have Starchoice satellite but Rogers cable has Here! TV on demand and I had Rogers but not anymore)

The Lair (have it in .avi format from downloads.)

Metropia (Canadian show set in downtown Toronto that has alot of gay content and sometimes almost explicit gay sex scenes. We are more liberal in Canada)

Watched QAF (Queer As Folk) when it was on.

I do not watch Greek or Hollyoaks since these shows are not yet shown in Canada. I also only watched one episode of How I Met Your Mother and never watched Greys Anatomy. I know these shows have gay men acting straight but I prefer gay men acting in gay roles but that's just me.

Does anyone remember the show Undressed? I used to watch it on Much Music but it is not shown anymore. It had a lot of gay storylines.

This season I'm watching

This season I'm watching Brothers & Sisters, America's Next Top Model (and any other countries I can find), Smallville, Gossip Girl, Cold Case, Survivor... and I'm giving Heroes a second chance in hopes that Kristen Bell will be able to make it better.

I might download Greek too, or Hollyoaks. And I watch Kyle XY but that's over for the season.

The shows I watch...

I've just started watching Xena. I'm somewhere halfway through the first season.
I didn't watch it when it was first on TV cause back then I didn't think it was any good. Then I read an article about the Xena/Gabrielle subtext and went "OK, now I have to watch this".

I watch Ugly Betty and Bad Girls every now and then.

I'm currently pissed cause the only channel here that's been showing the new Doctor Who... that channel isn't interested in airing anything beyond the first season. Well, sod off, I say! Sometimes you wonder why you even bother paying your TV licence! Three guesses what DVD set is on my wishlist for this year's Christmas.

I'm really looking forward to watching Torchwood as well. I watched the first episode on Youtube (just to check if the show is any good). I'll see if I can get the first season DVD set from somewhere as well (My birthday is in January, let's see if I can take advantage of that). I'm gonna watch Torchwood season 1 after the second season of the new Who cause that's the order in which they were originally shown on British television... fewer continuity hickups that way.
