Do you guys get this channel? I don't know what it stands for, Lesbian/Gay something I assume. We just started getting it on cable here, they stuck it between VH1 Country & MTV R&B.

I like much of what I've seen so far - good original shows, great concerts (I caught parts of Indigo Girls & Margaret Cho in the last couple of days.) The old made for TV movies from the 80's, I could do without. Too cheesy, even for me. They had one on the other night where Harry Hamlin's character was banging Kate Jackson's husband's character - I was snickering the entire time I watched, it was so bad.

Are you kidding me?!?!? Making Love is a masterpiece, Paula...

OY, it's bad. But, for those of us who had nothing it was a morsel to snack on in the Reagan Dark Ages.

Logo is cool. Like I was telling Dissy earlier in the week- it may be crap, but it's my crap!

More power to you, doll. I, for one, think it's utter ****. I've seen enough lousy Erasure videos to last me a lifetime and a half.

I fail to see how they can air my beloved Cho and still keep it funny with all the cuts they have to make.

"Hi, my name is GWEN, and I'm here to WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH your vagina!"

I want this channel so bad, but I fear living in the south will make it very difficult to get my cable provider to carry.

Alright already! Enough Erasure bashing!

They only played that video countdown for 1 weekend that I'm aware of. And at the time they'd only been on the air for a couple weeks, so they didn't exactly have a wide range of programming (still don't, actually).

I've seen the Erasure block on the DirecTV schedule grid thingy every night I've tuned in.

I just wish they'd put something worth watching on there. It's pretty difficult to do so when everything must be edited and sanitized. I mean, how can they air Cho and still keep her hysterical?

You're right. They have very little original programming right now, and most pre-existing gay-oriented fare is "mature". So for now, we have to put up with watered down versions of everything...

I kind of like the original programs that I've seen so far

First Comes Love is people planning their wedding/commitment ceremony/whatever. There's a travel show too. I have yet to catch that show where they profile actors who "had the guts to play gay" though.

And I have yet to catch any Erasure videos

. Indigo Girls, yes, but not Erasure.

I only saw the lesbian episode of First Comes Love (I think there's only been 2 so far?).

The travel show (Round Trip Ticket) has a good premise, but the host irritates the hell outta me, and so far I've just seen hot locals being flirted with and a focus on where to find the best clubs. Typical...

BTW, despite what may sound like bitching I watch Logo all the time...

Oops!

Yeah, that's him. Will Fikle/Figle...? I'm sure he's a lovely person, and they just write really irritating lines for him to say!

lol - wouldn't that be horrible. you finally get a TV show and they force you to say and act in a way that is SO not you.
