New Programming Schedule Reveals Logo Network Slightly More Worthless Than It Already Was

With the exception of RuPaul’s Drag Race, no one watches Logo. Mainly because everything they air is horrible, but also because no one watches television anymore, especially on a niche cable network for an even nicher audience. So, naturally, the Viacom-owned and advertiser-starved network that was created specifically for the gays has unveiled a new slate of programming specifically for…everyone else.

Queerty:

Greenlighted programs for the spring and fall include Design My Dog, a canine makeover series from the creators of America’s Next Top Model; Eden Wood’s World, an unscripted series about Toddlers & Tiara’s 6-year-old diva Eden Wood; and Wiseguys, a sort of Real Housewives meets Mob Wives show following a straight Mafia princess‘ adjustment to life in L.A. Also on the schedule are pop-culture countdown shows Scandalicious and Outrageous, and two family/relationship-oriented series, the tough-love therapy show Love Lockdown and The Baby Wait, which follows various couples through the open-adoption process. …[T]his is the first time that Logo hasn’t developed any new programming with gay leads.

All garbage, to be sure, but nothing worse than what you’d see on any other cable channel. And it’s not that Logo was ever the embodiment of gay culture, but whatever little piece of gay culture anyone thought the network was still representing is definitely dead now, just like all culture. On the bright side, congratulations, gays! We really are just like “everyone else” now.

  1. I mean, when the highlights of the programming day are vaguely gay-themed movies that have been available on DVD for years…

    And, yeah, who watched TV in real-time anymore anyway?

  2. I don’t watch Drag Race so I can’t say anything about it.
    other than that, the only things I watch on LOGO are reruns of Buffy, Noah’s Arc, and Bad Sex.
    Please tell me that this isn’t for real and that it’s just some bad joke? if this is real, then it’s just sad and pathetic

  3. When this channel came out I had such high hopes especially since Mtv had a hand in it and they announced some of the programming and since my cable carrier did not have it all I could was hope it was a good channel and would last. Now we have it and I have watched maybe 3 movies and the only thing I regularly watch is 1 girl 5 gays after that everything else is mostly garbage.
    It’s mostly bad movies and tv shows you don’t give 2 shits about.

  4. LOGO is the typical gay entertainment from a straight person’s perspective. I prefer gay entertainment from gays for gays.

  5. LOGO isn’t included on most basic cable/satellite packages which make me wonder when the channel broadcasts decent gay movies, the censors hack it all to pieces. I can understand if it wasn’t a pay cable channel, heck comedy channel has less censorship.

    RuPaul’s Drag Race show itself isn’t an embarrassment, just the behavior of the “queens”. I can never understand how the drag queens in this show for the most part can’t support each other even in a competition instead of all the bitching and arguing that goes on. If the infighting is staged it’s even a worse embarrassment.

    1. @phallus- I got this from Logotv.com in the FAQ section. As I was curious of the same thing as well. And it sucks, they butcher movies to pieces even late at night.

      “Why does Logo edit its programming?

      Logo is an advertiser–supported cable channel available to a wide audience, in other words you’re not subscribing to us like HBO. So like other channels in our category we’re obliged to edit our programming to an appropriate degree. Our editing standards are the same as those that apply to other Viacom Media Networks channels geared toward an adult audience, like Spike TV or Comedy Central.”

  6. The A-list Dallas was the worst, all stage, no real A-List, all fake and pretentious. And everything logo puts out is all edited, makes me wish SHOWTIME would bring back a new season of Queer As Folks

  7. Drag Race is probably, in comparison to shows of it’s ilk, one of the more structured and honest representations of an art form. It just happens to exist exclusively in “gay culture”. I really enjoy it.

    The rest of the proposed programming sounds like variations on Jerry Springer episodes.

  8. Drag Race is a great show, it is about a subculture that carries nothing but positive messages.

    But yeah, the rest is all garbage.

  9. Another show I won’t be watching. The only time I ever turn on Logo is for 1g5g. The rest is crap, except for random reruns of Buffy lol.

  10. What’s with all the love everywhere for Drag Race? The show is an embarrassment to gay men, whether we all realize it or not.

    1. Why? I was thinking about Brazil recently and despite the fact it’s 90 percent Catholic it’s a very gay friendly country and the gay pride event in Sao Paulo this year attracted over 1 million supporters on Avenida Paulista, the main street. Drag entertainers are more popular there and some are minor celebrities. Is it the drag on the show that we should be embarrassed by? I was in Sydney also and I recall the best and most popular shows in clubs were the same genre, and there gay pride event also is more massive than you’d find here in the states in any city. What’s the problem? I love the show. STRAIGHT people I know like it.

    2. How is it an “embarrassment”? It’s a fun and entertaining look at a particular segment of the gay community (a segment that has done a lot in terms of fighting for gay rights for the past 40 years, I might add). If you’re embarrassed, that says something about you, not them.
