A-LISTS hollywood
I have a confession to make…no, not that! I do have a closet, but the doors
have been removed for many years now, ok? When I was a kid, (yes, I can remember back that far!) I would read through TV Guide
from cover to cover—especially when it was time for their annual Fall TV issue, where many a show synopsis would be read and other pages would be earmarked, secure in the fact that these shows would be Must See TV for me (C’mon BJ and the Bear? Sign me up on name value alone!). So, I have more years than I care to comment about (it’s somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty plus. There are you happy?) in deter- mining what sounds like it would fly with viewers, especially with the demographic known as “us.” I mean, it’s a safe bet that most LGBT audiences can save the hassle of wasting a half-hour on newcomer comedy Mike & Molly, about a couple of crazy hets who fall in love at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting with a quick trip to Wal-Mart, I’m just sayin’. Besides, come October 4, there’s competition for the newbie with the third season premiere of The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Bravo. So, let’s see which shows will have that certain Wessonality!
SO DRAMATIC! Dana Delany plays a medical examiner on ABC’s Body of Proof, in which she helps the
police solve murder mysteries by “reading” the victims’ bodies. Okay, it has an original premise. Queer Factor: Delany previously, ahem, read lips when her Desperate Housewives character played softball, I mean, for the same-sex team last year. Queer Detractor: No, this isn’t to be confused with the 1993 Madonna vehicle Body of Evidence, and that’s a good thing.
