I am very excited about the launch of Logo, the MTV-sponsored all-gay cable network that will initially be available in 10 million homes. Here are twelve shows that would be a safe bet to succeed:
The White Party CSI: Forensics experts investigate and track down an evil drug dealer who sold a lethal combination of poppers and Viagra at a Miami circuit party.
Metro Guy For the Queer Pig Sty: This show is dedicated to all the beer guzzling, plaid-shirt wearing, fat, pale gay men who think Universal Gear is a shop that fixes tractors. In this stereotype-breaking show, a gang of five straight Metrosexuals enters a Bear's house and teaches him how to properly shine his leather thong and trim his back hair.
Survivor: In this highly anticipated show, 10 "ex-gays" will be airlifted and placed on an island stocked with sex addicted A&F Models. Each time an ex-gay breaks down and sodomizes, he is booted off the island. This show should have extraordinary ratings, but there is a reasonable fear that none of the ex-gays will make it to the second episode.
Bennet has a point, we have BET (Black Entertainment Network) as well as African Amerifcans on mainstream TV. Of course we dont see nearly as many gay characters as other minorites, so Logo is probably a good idea--plus some heteros will watch it out of curiosity just like they do Queer as Folk.

That's hilarious. It could be my cynicism talking, but I have a feeling that the shows that will be actually offered up will make Wayne's suggestions look inspired. Such is the fate of "niche" programming.
