FOUR REASONS the chanticleer
is deemed over-the-hill at 30 for his given profession and is fired from his job. But you can’t keep a good go-go boy down, as Danny tries his... um... hardest to regain his place in the West Hollywood echelon, including a stab at doing gay porn in season two. Both shows are available on YouTube. With a tagline of “Love is so gay,” The Benefits of Gusbandry
the benefits of gusbandry
has to be pretty much that and as it stands, it pretty much is. By the way a “gusband” means “gay bff” and that’s what Jackie (Brooke Totman) has in River (Kurt Conroyd). The two meet at Jackie’s 40th birthday party and what ensues is a comedic exercise in what it means to be a significant other. The series is doled out in bite-sized episodes, about 8 to 12 minutes, so to binge on it via YouTube is very doable. The Chanticleer travels back in time to 1955, but this isn’t
your parent’s Back to the Future. Rather, it is a lesbian pulp novel incarnated into a series about Edie Chaucer (Annie Paul) who inherits a dive bar and gives it a makeover, pre-Stonewall style. Check it out at

Now For Something Completely Different How about a LGBT web series for the whole family? Sez
Me takes on that tact by having kids interacting with the gay community on a (gasp), normal level (double gasp), as regular people. This one is sure to piss off One Million Moms! Good. The show is hosted by drag queen Charmin Ultra and takes on topics ranging to the special kid guest star’s favorite color to more pertinent issues, like preferred gender pronouns. You can catch multiple episodes on
sezme.me. McTucky Fried High is a cartoon that resembles Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Adult Swim in look, but that is where the comparisons stop. Set in an all-LGBT high school, it tells the
Kimmy Schmidt, we learned that the titular character (Ellie Kemper) is strong as hell. She starts life anew in New York City after being released from her time held in a bunker as a captive mole woman. So what is Kimmy up to these days? Well, she has a thing for wheels: Roller skates and becoming an Uber driver factor in this season, as does a year-round Christmas store. It seems that love is in the air for Lillian (Carol Kane) as well, she gets a new/ old beau (Fred Armisen). Titus (Tituss Burgess) is also building a relationship with construction worker Mikey (Mike Carlsen) and meanwhile, Jacqueline (Jane Krakowski) and her friend Mimi Kanassis (Amy Sedaris) attempt to climb the social ladder. Keep an eye out for cameos from Jeff Goldblum and Tina Fey. Binging, err, playing now on Netflix. Let’s face it, the late night talk show landscape just isn’t the same without Chelsea Handler and her acerbic wit. She left the airwaves almost two years ago. Well, fear not, Handler is returning to form on Netflix with Chelsea, to be filmed in front of a live studio audience. Following on the heels on her stand-up special Uganda Be Kidding Me and docu-series Chelsea Does, the talk show will have a total of 90 episodes per year and will air on Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays starting on Wednesday, May 11. It’s so hard to type and clap at the same time. Everyone’s favorite ladies, Lily Tomlin and
TO NETFLIX AND CHILL Orange is the New Black returns to Netflix with its fourth season on Friday, June 17. Since there were busloads of new prisoners arriving at Litchfield at the end of last season that means we will be seeing some new faces, including Jolene Purdy who has appeared in Donnie Darko and on Glee. What of the familiar faces we have grown to love over the past three seasons? Well, Piper (Taylor Schilling) will find herself in some hot water... The show is reportedly going to have a darker undertow this season and will explore the prison system in depth. SPOILER ALERT! Alex (Laura Prepon) is alive! During season one of The Unbreakable
Jane Fonda, are back as Grace and Frankie on Friday, May 6. Things pick up right where they left off with Frankie having slept with her ex-husband Saul (Sam Waterston), as he prepares to tell his fiancé Robert (Martin Sheen). This dalliance will cause major ramifications this season, as will a new romance for Grace (Fonda), with silver fox Sam Elliott. There had been rumors of a possible 9 to 5 reunion by having Dolly Parton join her former co-stars. Alas, showrunner Marta Kauffman has nixed the idea for this season and said it’s a possibility down the road. Stay tuned...
