What ABC did this week is the reason why I hate getting into new shows in the fall. You find a show with clever ass writing and genuinely funny plotlines from the man who gave us Sex & The City...and you would THINK it's a guaranteed win, right? Apparently not.

GCB (based on the book Good Christian Bitches) starred Kristin Chenoweth and was INCREDIBLE! It premiered to big ratings and then slumped a little through April. That was apparently enough for ABC to axe it, even though the show had a great huge following (based mostly on the chatter I saw online for the show on Twitter, Facebook and blogs). I should be a TV executive.

Among the cancelled: Missing and The River. Renewed? Shark Tank.

Seriously...Shark Frickin' Tank. UGH!

Now, I could totally be going deaf here (I'll be the first to admit it), but...hast thou forsaken me again, The Price is Right?

A few weeks ago, my favorite daytime game show started to put microphones on the contestants. Maybe Drew Carey got lazy pointing his long microphone at them...or they were hoping to catch moments where contestants say things like "F--k it! No husbands!"

PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong...but that sure sounds like what she says!

Watch it here (caution: maybe NSFW but OK for daytime TV)

I'm no prude (and swear like a sailor off the air), but COME ON LOL...is that what she really said?

What do you think she's saying if it's not the F word?

Carson Daly mocked the gays...but here's one that's flown under the radar. Amber Lancaster, model on The Price is Right (my #1 show of all time, as you know), has also mocked us gays. (She is also on an MTV show called "The Hard Times of RJ Berger").

As someone heavily involved with Capital Pride every year here in DC and the programming on Pride Radio on iHeartRadio...it's kinda crazy to me that my favorite game show would have a model on the cast that thinks it's "ok" to make fun at the expense of gays. It would be one thing if she was joking with a friend...but there's no indication about that.

OK...I'm gonna get off my soapnox now (or is that my box of Kaboom cleaner that I still have from when I was on The Price is Right? LOL)...

Here are the offending tweets. What do you think?

UPDATE 4/10/12

When did the gays become the bullies?

This blog has be passed around the 'nets over the last week or so and I've been painted in a negative light by the very people that this blog was meant to defend. It's ridiculous, in my opinion and certainly does nothing to defend the stereotype that gays are flaky. In my experience, they are.

Check out the comments below. Now, I wasn't setting out to change the world or try to even make a mountain out of a proverbial molehill...however, that seems to be what happened. The blog was picked up on a few large gay sites.

Towleroad linked to this page with six words, which appears to support my original view: http://www.towleroad.com/2012/03/trail-set-for-two-long-beach-men-charged-with-halloween-hate-crime-in-long-beach-defendants-marquise-anton-lucas-19-and-si.html

Then, Queerty picked it up and wrote that they didn't think it was a big deal at all (which I would agree...however, the way they wrote their story, you'd think I was protesting outside CBS Television City: http://www.queerty.com/price-is-right-spokesmodel-tweets-gay-jokes-upsets-dc-radio-personality-20120330/ I literally got into a comment-thread argument with someone on that site as I tried to defend myself.

But perhaps the blog post that irritates me the most is this one about bullies: http://gawker.com/5897963/the-virtues-of-being-bullied

Seriously. They looped me into a story about being bullied. Once again calling my blog "silly" and not worth "getting upset over" because there are worse things in this world. No kidding there are. I never said there weren't! Besides, the very word "upset" represents 1,000 shades of gray. We all have different ideas of what it means and how it makes us feel. In this case, sure, I was a bit 'rankled' by the fact that Amber was trying to be funny using gays as the punchline...but hey, I guess according to the "gay elite" that's ok now. It means we've assimilated.

All this fuss over a few tweets from The Price is Right really has me amazed (You're welcome, Amber). But I'm more amazed by the fact that the very folks I thought I was connected to are the ones who turned against me with sharp words and made me feel like I was two feet tall (I'm 6'3" btw).

I was never suggesting we gang up on Amber about her tweets...but it certainly didn't hurt to remind her that she should at least try to make her jokes funny. I mean, hey, go all in if you're gonna do it.

Reading posts on all the above blogs really bothered me. I think because everyone was so quick to judge me without even knowing anything about me. Isn't that the very problem that we gays are constantly fighting? Sheesh.

So, according to the HuffPo, Adele's nasty boyfriend...you know, the one who smashed her heart to smithereens, has been finally identified! Leave it to the tabloids to uncover the mystery of the decade (ok, of the last year or so).

UK's "Heat" magazine says it's 31-year celebrity photographer Alex Sturrock! There is lots of photographic evidence on his website to support the claim. Apparently they dated between 2008 and 2009 for about a year.

Fun times! I bet this guy is going to get all sorts of nice emails now.

Wonder if he's gonna get a royalty for helping Adele write all those hit-making songs?

I have no idea why DC is celebrating St. Patrick's Day one weekend early...but get ready for some closed streets because of the parade. Here's what going on today:

PARADE ROUTE
The parade will form on the National Mall and proceed westbound on Constitution Avenue, N.W. from 7th Street to 17th Street, N.W., where they will disband.
7th Street will be closed between Constitution Avenue, N.W. and Independence Avenue, S.W. from approximately 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.  Streets leading to Constitution Avenue, NW will be closed during this time period.
