Forgot to mention OZ on HBO - the show is over, but they still show reruns. About as homoerotic as it comes, with lots of interesting subplot, plus lots of nude shots of the men in showers, etc. Will never forget the nude scenes with Christopher Meloni (from Law & Order SVU). ---

Oh god yes. Yes. Yes! YES! Can’t believe I forgot that one. Can I have a cigarette now? ---

Oz is just about my favourite show I’d never visibly own the boxset of. 🙂 I’ve heard Shameless has a strongish gay following in the UK/Ireland. ---

If they did, they’d lose the neck bandanas and tight jeans, too. Just makes 'em cuter. If they’re still wearing neck bandanas and tight jeans, they might be mistaken for gay guys from the 80s. ---

TV shows for gay men? I have just three words for you: Men’s Synchronized Diving. It’s been running recently on one of those obscure cable-only sports channels. ---
