Logo Getting 1/2 Hour News Show

LOGO has been something of a disappointment to me. With all the gay cinema available in the world. surely we could see more than Bad Girls, Bad Girls, lesbian life vignettes, Bad Girls, reruns of Queer as Folk, Bad Girls, reruns of Noah’s Arc, and, oh yes, Bad Girls. It seems LOGO has about 10 films it recycles over and over with at least 6 of them being lesbian dramas.

And there is the thing that what they do present is generally already available on DVD (in fact, as often as not, many of the things LOGO has been presenting lately have been undercutting “premiere” presentations at GLBT film festivals this year), and what they are able to present oftentimes has to be heavily edited for basic cable, which seems kind of senseless, if we can actually go onto LOGO online and buy the unedited shows on DVD and watch those instead. And, seriously, they cycle quite a bit of British gay material that’s still readily available on BBC America, so why bother?

I agree with leomoore. Every time I tune in it seems to be all lesbians all the time. Back to back Bad Girls, Surfer Girls, Lesbian Comics, lesbian film and yes Queer As Folk and Noah’s Arc ad infinitum. There is a lot of gay cinema out there, I rented a lot from Netflix and there’s a lot that Netflix doesn’t carry. I’m sure not seeing any of it on Logo. And when they do run a film, it’s a one or two shot deal and back to all lesbian fare. I went with cable to get Logo. I just may end up going back to Netflix and saving some money. The half hour news might help, but it’s not enough.
