Fri / 15 Jul 2005 Logo makes the gays look as boring as breeders
» More Logo
When Brian Graden told us in June that his gay network Logo wouldn't be a sex-upped gay channel, we knew we wouldn't be tuning in that often.

So we guzzled down the Kool-Aid from Slate's Dana Stevens when she offered up, you know, one of those serious reviews of the network that you'd be unable to find here (and saving us from having to watch).

After a week and a half of serious Logo viewing, the dirtiest single moment I've witnessed so far was pretty mild indeed. It occurred on the travel show Round Trip Ticket, when the perky blond host gave the name of an Amsterdam hotel designed specifically for gay men interested in bondage, then asked naughtily, "How do you say 'ouch' in Dutch?" Logo is so wholesome, so middle-of-the-road, it's practically apple-cheeked.
And when Plum TV looks scandalous next to your supposedly cheeky network, you know you've got programming problems. Is Nielsen even monitoring this paint drying channel?
