Are All Television Programming Execs GAY???

If I didn't have TIVO, I might never leave home. TV is so gay right now, I'm surprised rainbows don't flow out of my television when I turn it on. 



I think that by now it's pretty clear: Making TV gay is part of the gay agenda. The gay ghosts of Paul Lynde, Liberace and Barbara Stanwyck are sitting in on network programming meetings and just making TV gay for the fun of it. Hey, I'm all for it.

Here are a few homo-highlights on my recommended list:


'Liza With a Z' was given a second life on Showtime on Saturday night -- and thank God. This gem was originally broadcast on TV in 1972 and it zings! with energy and entertainment. This is Liza at her best -- before everyone started thinking she was crazy. They just don't make shows like this for TV anymore.

Director and choreographer Bob Fosse delivered on pizzazz, while celeb-fashion designer Halston did all the costumes which were fab. Check out the amusing account by our blogger pals at Gawker about the big premier that Showtime hosted in NYC a couple of weeks ago: It’s a Gay Gay Gay Gay World: ‘Liza With a Z’ at the Ziegfeld. 

Watch 'Liza With a Z.' Check here to see when it will be on again, or you can buy it on DVD.




Fast forward to 2006 via the '90s, and set your watches to tickle time for a hilarious romp with none other than Tori Spelling in her new VH1 show, 'NoTORIous.' Spelling has taken ownership of every barb, every joke, every spoiled-brat damnation spewed her way since the glory days of Daddy's 'Beverly Hills 90210' and turned them upside down in a scripted, reality-TV-like show about a celebrity whose life very much resembles that of, well, Tori Spelling. Now we're laughing with her. Go girl!

Gays love Tori (she cemented that with her role in 'Trick') and Tori loves her some gays. As she tells The Advocate in a recent interview: "If there were no gay men in my life … Oh, my God, I wouldn't exist." Duh!

There's more. So much more. Between Rosie O'Donnell's HBO movie this week, 'All Aboard,' Bravo's 'Blow Out' (OK, everything on Bravo), 'Real World Key West,' the winding down of 'Will and Grace,' reruns of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and 'Xena: Warrior Princess,' and Biography's 'Hairdos and Heartache: The Women of Country Music' (no, I'm not kidding), plus a good dozen other shows with gay characters, you can't change the channel on your TV without someone hitting you with their purse. I mean that in a loving way, of course.

And what are you watching?
