Airs Sun 10/30/94, 9:00 pm, Prism. TV Guide $ V said: "David Cronenberg ('The Fly') showed uncharacteristic restraint in his direction of this well-acted 1993 adaptation of the Tony winning play by David Henry Hwang, inspired by a true story. In 1964 Beijing, Rene Gallimard (Jeremy Irons), a low-level French diplomat, attends the opera 'Madama Butterfly' and becomes obsessed with one of the performers, Song Liling (John Lone). Gallimard begins a strange, passionate affair with Liling, unaware that she is actually a he. And that's not the only secret the diva is hiding from the gullible diplomat. Rated R for sexual situations and violence." Sun >> THE KRAYS. Airs Sun-Mon, 10/30/93-11/1/94, 1:10 am, The Movie $ V Channel. Exceedingly violent but fact-based story of two twin brothers who ran a London crime syndicate in the 1960s. One of them was gay. Sun >> M. BUTTERFLY (CC). See above.

TV Guide says: "Ross's ex-wife has a startling revelation for him." in this rerun. I haven't seen this show, but I'm betting from what folks have told me that this is the episode in which he finds out that his ex-wife is now involved with another woman, and/or that the two women are planning on raising his child.

A reader sent me word that this show sometimes has gay content. TV Guide doesn't indicate anything explicitly, so I can't make any promises. This show normally airs on Monday nights at 9:00 pm on Fox, but is airing on Wednesday this week (opposite Roseanne). If you watch it and you find it interesting, make a point of watching it each Monday. I won't list it again unless I know that there will be specific gay content in a particular episode. Wed >> IN THE LIFE. Airs Wed-Thurs, 11/2-3/94, midnight, Phila PA WPHL ch P 12. The third season debut episode airs this week. WYBE's program guide says: "SEASON PREMIERE of public television's guide to lesbian and gay culture, entertainment, and events.

Airs Thurs 11/3/94, 9:00 pm, Arts & Entertainment cable. C TV Guide says: "Rue McClanahan stars in this 1994 adaptation of the popular off-Broadway musical about five nuns who put on a fund-raising variety show." I don't recall any specifically gay content in this musical, but it is certainly wildly popular with gay audiences, so I figured I'd list it anyway. Thu >> REAL WORLD.

Airs Thurs 11/3/94 on some PBS channels, P including 10:00 pm on Phila PA WHYY ch 12. Another documentary about J. Edgar Hoover.

Another reader wrote to tell me that COURT TV has been airing periodic coverage of a real-life trial about a gay man who was fired from his law firm due to his sexuality and HIV infection. Similar to the movie PHILADELPHIA, except this is a real case and not a fictional movie. I can't tell you when or if coverage will air, so look for it if you're interested & your cable station gets COURT TV. HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!

Last weekend I rented THREESOME and M. BUTTERFLY, two great movies by the way, because I can't watch them on my cable system. And I was thinking why not mention the idea to the readers of Gay TV. If a show is listed on here and you don't have access to the pay service airing it, may I suggest checking your local video rental store. I have added the Left Margin Code of V. >> STONEWALL, THE MOVIE? I saw on the news this week, that the BBC or some British movie production company are making a movie called STONEWALL based on the 1969 stonewall riot! They are currently shooting on location in New York City. The movie is expected to be released by next June! I think it might be the same people who produced AND THE BAND PLAYED ON. "NOT2's GAY VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK" V >> ORLANDO. British movie featuring music by Jimmy Sommersville. A fantasy-drama about the life of a prince named Orlando. The story spands 300 years I think. After Orlando's heart is broken twice by women whom run off and leave him, wishes he was a woman. And one day wakes up transformed into a female. Good movie. But I didn't quite get the meaning to it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-= Signed: Michael Biocco (not2@delphi.com) -=-= -=-= The Host And Manager Of Delphi's Very First Gay Custom Forum. -=-= -=-= "IN FULL VIEW - Custom Forum #22" -=-= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * D-LITE v2.B3 - The offline mail reader for Delphi *
