Wonderfalls

I came across this great show today in between breaks from studying from my steel design midterm on monday. To ensure that this post is without pretense, I am writing it before I check what the hipsters (who are the authority, of course) have to say about the show.

I find it very funny, very oddball, and even kind of touching at times. The heroine is very beautiful too, she reminds me of someone...dear (see previous post). I think it's been cancelled (because apparently it is a law among the networks to cancel good shows, e.g. Freaks and Geeks, Eerie Indiana), and that's why I was watching it on a cable channel that is way up there on the dial.

That channel is called Logo, and I'd been noticing it recently. It's been playing a lot of good shows and has been filling some of the emptiness that was left inside of me when I lost two great channels in Trio and IFC. And then I noticed that a lot of the trailers Logo was running for their shows had a lot of guys kissing each other. It turns out that Logo is a gay, lesbian, and bi channel. Mostly gay.

Now I do not have a problem with this, but I have to admit, some of the macho alarms went off in my head. I just find it a bit odd that I'd been watching this channel for some time and didn't know that it was a gay channel. I am not a homophobe--I have gay friends, like...I can't name any right now, but they do exist. You gotsta believe me! I am very tolerant!
