Finally - fresh "Betty"! Huzzahs all around!
What's on The Telly Tonight?
"The Ellen DeGeneres Show"
Syndicated - check your local listings
15 Love - it's Martina Navratilova! Is she on Ellen to hock more American Express cards or perhaps a Subaru? Perhaps she's got a new book out - they've always got ulterior motives for going on talk shows after all. For the boys, there's total hottie Matthew Fox from "Lost"...but the gayness is all in the Martina.
"The Martha Stewart Show"
Syndicated - check your local listings
Yes, it's a repeat - but it's the repeat with Amy Sedaris. You simply *must* watch it if you missed this a few months back...brilliant!
"Ugly Betty"
8:00 p.m. ET - ABC
Christina, queen of Mode's wardrobe closet, opens the doors for the annual employee clear-out and everyone's out to cash in on the free swag - except the fashion illiterate Betty, of course. She's got her own priorities - helping her credit-crossed boss Daniel wine and dine a big Japanese designer on a shoestring budget after she screwed up his expense report. I hear many of you non-Betty fans have come over into the light after the big New Year's "Ugly Betty" marathon - welcome aboard! (Where you *been* girl?) As always, Micheal Urie plays 
Wilhelmina Slater's gay assistant, Marc, while Mark Indelicato rocks the house as Betty's rather fey nephew Justin. (Love him, but not in that NAMBLA way...you're sick!)
"Til Death"
8:00 p.m. ET - FOX
No, you're not going crazy - I'm actually writing about this rather stale marital show, but only 'cause there's Cho! That's right duckies; comedic favorite Margaret Cho guest stars in tonight's episode as Joy's "fight friend." Again, I'm not a fan of this show, but for the Cho-ster, I'll watch it. She *is* a rather outspoken ally for gay rights, after all - and it's only 30 minutes. (It's like performing community service, but without the fun and those stylish orange jumpers.)
“The War at Home”
8:30 p.m. ET — FOX
Come out, come out wherever you are… Yes, it’s true — tonight television gains another officially gay character - Kenny! After hearing that Dave thinks he’s gay, Larry’s fey pal Kenny (Rami Malek) confronts him about it and ends up coming out of the closet to him. Dave advises to Kenny to tell his parents, but they don’t take the news well and kick Kenny out of the house. Who didn’t see *that* coming? (Well…other than Kenny and Dave, that is?)
"The Office"
8:30 p.m. ET - NBC
Oscar Nunez plays the gay accountant Oscar, but most of tonight's plot will focus on a somewhat naughty photo of Michael from his Jamaican vacation. While The Telly Nelly isn't a fan of "The Office" antics (perhaps living in the real corporate world for so long jaded my silly sensibilities), you have my permission to watch. Aren't I kind?
"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation"
9:00 p.m. ET - CBS
The much heralded (and temporary) departure of Grissom is upon us! Tonight Gil goes on an educational sabbatical, but in real life William Peterson's taking time off to perform in a play. (He's a serious actor, after all.) How will his absence effect the team? Well...for some reason Warrick becomes "the rock" of the team. Hmmm...I thought the rock was Catherine. Poor Sara...she'll be sleeping alone again for a few months. (Time to break out the wine!) If you're looking for gay, there really isn't any tonight. I just rather enjoy "CSI" (at least, I used to...this season is rather lame if you ask me) so that's why it usually makes my Thursday pick list. If it doesn't shape up soon, I just might drop it from my lineup. (I know! Them's fightin' words...)
"Smallville"
9:00 p.m. ET - CW
It's the Aquaman repeat from a year or so back - HOT! They're obviously getting you ready for the big "Justice League" episode, which frankly does *no* justice to the REAL Justice League. But now I'm just splitting hairs. Why no Wonder Woman? It would seem she's a *very* hot and closely guarded property, which is why "Smallville" only gets the "small-time" heroes. (No offense meant to any Flash, Green Arrow, Cyborg or Aquaman fans...they're good, but they're not A-list.)
"Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Duel"
10:00 p.m. ET - MTV
It's a male elimination night so Aneesa (the gay from "Real World: Chicago") is safe for another week. Not so for hottie Brad, who will certainly find himself on the chopping block and against some stiff competition. Tonight: more speedos for the men. YUM!
Davis Mallory who is the gay cast member of the Real World Denver will be on the next RWRR Challenge, The Inferno 3, in early 2007.
