And interesting trend is showing up in some broadcast TV shows this season. I suspect last nights episode of FlashForward will raise some eyebrows among the homophobes and prudish. Not much of a spoiler because we already knew the female FBI agent was gay but they now she has a girlfriend she is into a relationship with along with some heavy kissing scenes. And this is playing at "family hour" (8 PM). But FlashForward isn't the only show I've seen exploring this. Our cheerleader from "Heroes" has a new roommate in college played by Madelene Zima, better known for playing the 16 year old straddling Hank Moody in "Californication." In "Heroes" she has a big crush on the cheerleader played by Hayden Panitiere and in the episode a week ago plants a big kiss on her. This already raised some eyebrows on the home theater forum I read. I don't care myself but I think it is an interesting phenomenon and perhaps payback for the Prop 8 thing.
Heads up: enjoy "Dollhouse" tonight and next week. It'll be off for November and some episodes will play in December. Looks like Season Two will be it for the series though FOX plans to play all 13 episodes. Also USA has a new series "White Collar" debuting tonight. We'll see if it is as good as "Burn Notice." It's about an FBI agent who has a former criminal as a partner.
