Man-Focused Network Spike TV Unleashes Slate of Really Really Gay Sounding Programming

twoguys.jpg

If Lifetime is intent on gaying up its programming shelf, then Spike TV is going on a testosterone binge. They’re launching three unscripted pilots, plus signing deals with wrestling champ and former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, who will host Caught in the Action, a hidden-camera show, while Cade Courtley, the actor and former Navy SEAL officer, gets behind “Surviving Terror.” [MP] Sound man enough to you? It sounds a little something else to us.

That is: Spike TV is about to be home to the gayest programming on TV.

Caught in the Action? Really? This is basically the fantasy title of every gay high school boy’s dream. It makes him think of lockerroom shower scenes that involve his coach and the quarterback.

And Surviving Terror, while not as overtly homoerotic, is being hosted by Cade Courtley, whose name is.

Plus there’s Tank and Cobra, which could not carry a more overt homothethual name, for it brings to mind military men flashing their manmeat, but is actually about a bounty-hunting twosome.

Alas, there are some heterosexual-sounding series, like Human Predators (”a firsthand look at those who take lives, either professionally or criminally”) and Idiot Hall of Fame (the everyday man’s jackass).

No. 1 flubby says:

So is it “Caught in the Action” or “Caught in the Act”?
