Well, I don't quite pick-up on Showtime's gay agenda, but I do notice their agenda to start producing quality original TV shows. Mary-Louise Parker's deliciously non-lesbian legs and alluring concealed breasts, not to mention her delicious, alluring eyes and non-lesbian (I don't know what that means either?) wit make Weeds a real pleasure. Dexter is a truly interesting and very non-network type of show that actually could be syndicated someday without too much editing. And I'm looking forward to the Tudors, a challenging and, I'd assume, mostly not-gay period drama with Jonathan Rhys-Myers, and, if it ever makes it into the lineup, the long-promised television version of This American Life, which, unfortunately for Tom Reed, may or may not feature that super-gay gay boy David Sedaris providing occasional pretty, witty, and gay observations on his outrageously homosexual life--and other funny, touching stories about, well, this American life.
My Showtime subscription has actually treated me fairly well, recently. Even if they seem intent on showing me the worst of the mid-90s romantic comedies (the pre-Brad Pitt Jennifer Aniston is in heavy rotation) every time I flip past.
