Quick notes: we got around to watching the pilot of The L Word on Showtime. I don’t know exactly what I was expecting, but I’m happy to say it’s actually pretty good.
Has Blind Date ever covered a gay couple before last night? I was channel surfing and when I saw two guys (Veni and Keith) in the ol’ Blind Date SUV, I had to stop and check it out. Those two were so sweet and perfect for each other. They seemed to be having such a sincere, romantic time, that I actually felt voyeuristic (instead of just entertained) watching them, you know? Like I didn’t want to intrude on their moment. But of course, I watched the whole thing anyway. Again, very sweet those two.
Bravo is gay, gay, gay tomorrow. They will be running a marathon of old Queer Eye episodes (when are we getting new episodes?!) starting at noon until 8 p.m., at which point they pass the baton to NBC—oh, how they love their cross-promotion—and in the meantime continue with the entire Gay Weddings series. It might be something to flip to occasionally if the Super Bowl isn’t your bag.
This Monday at 10 p.m. be sure to check out Comedy Central’s Out on the Edge, a gay-themed comedy special hosted by Alan Cumming. Sounds great.
[Update (1 Feb 21:34): Right now we’re watching Notorious C.H.O. on Showtime. Oh, my god, that Margaret Cho. So freakin’ hilarious. Seriously. I’m crying. And ooh, they’re showing I’m the One That I Want later on.]
Tonight is the “new” season of Queer Eye, i.e., the 2nd season U.S. We’re looking forward to it with catty enthusiasm. Even more, there’s an Australian edition promised soon. I can’t even imagine.
You bought me Notorious C.H.O. for my birthday last year! It is great!
