Lifetime: Television For Women and (as They’re Finally Admitting) Gay Men

goldengirls.jpg

Lifetime, not content to serve just one historically oppressed group (womyn), is now going after the gays. By stealing Project Runway from Bravo and commissioning projects like Carson Kressley’s How to Look Good Naked, it’s clear the channel is finally catering to the audience of homothethuals it always managed to attract. Except as the Observer points out, the channel is a bit too earnest, a bit too P.C., a bit too Middle America. Army Wives, anyone? It’s everything that isn’t Bravo, the sassy and smarter channel.

And as if to show they’ve got something to prove, Lifetime is making the biggest mistake of all: They’re bailing on Golden Girls and Will & Grace – the show for those who still find Sex and the City too edgy – which is the only excuse our DVR ever had for tuning in.
