How many gay-themed sitcoms does it take to jade the American public? ABC is apparently trying to find out, having bought most of the pilots for gayish shows that could air this fall. Our friend Michael at AfterElton.com somehow got his greedy gay hands on the top-secret lowdown on each of the shows.

We are most excited about Him and Us, which features sexy Brit Anthony Stewart Head (aka Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) playing "a flamboyant, rhinestone-studded diva who is as outlandish off-stage as on," and co-star's homo-favorite Kim Cattrall as his stressed-out manager. Even though the show has been bought by a network, meaning the chances of seeing Anthony's naked butt are pretty slim, we still hold out hope, like maybe he'll wear some skin colored spandex, or briefly flash the audience long enough for some intrepid blogger to get a screencap. Don't mock us please. This is our life.
