This is a list of tv shows with gay, lesbian, other sexual minority, and gay/straight AIDS themes, for the tv week from Saturday, 7/30/94 though Friday, 8/05/94. Based on TV listings for the Phila/NJ area. Sat >> DREAM ON (CC). Airs Sat 7/30/94, 10:15 pm, HBO. TV Guide says: $ "At a school reunion, Martin runs into a woman (Kim Cattrall) on whom he had a crush, and is crushed to learn that she thought he was gay." Sat >> GEORGE MICHAEL'S CONCERT OF HOPE. Will be rebroadcast on Sat $ 7/30/94, 11:00 pm, Disney Channel. From last week's TV Guide: "David Bowie hosts an AIDS benefit at London's Wembley Stadium that features performances by George Michael, k.d. lang, and Mick Hucknall of the group Simply Red." Their reviewer, Paul Droesch, added: "Michael headlines this AIDS benefit, taped last December in London, and his set is pleasant enough. But the reason to watch is k.d. lang, who's on stage as long as he is, and clearly displays why she has become a big star. My score: 7." Sat >> TALES OF THE CITY (CC).
