Speaking at a panel moderated by Filmmaker Magazine's Scott Macaulay at the New York Television Festival's Development Day this past weekend, Jack Lechner, the executive producer of indies like "Blue Valentine" and "Smile 'Til It Hurts: The Up with People Story" as well as the Sundance Channel series "Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys," compared working in film and TV to dating. If he were the lead in a romantic comedy, he explained, film would be the beautiful woman who flirts but then never returns his calls, and TV would be the girl who's always available and willing to make time to go on dates with him. "I feel like it's 'Some Kind of Wonderful,'" he said. "Oh, television, I've been taking you for granted!" Like his fellow panelist Alrick Brown (director of "Kinyarwanda"), Lechner wasn't ready to or suggesting everyone give up on film entirely,...

The cast of Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys Season 2
(all photos courtesy The Sundance Channel)
Sundance Channel's Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys, which this Friday launches its second season, is a reality show about relationships where the connections are durable and have been forged over years, not developed between commercial breaks.
This is a show set in Nashville where you'd expect conservative, Bible Belt attitudes to be on display. But actual people with those views are rarely encountered in the living rooms, coffee shops and bars of our protagonists.
This is a show about a stereotype: straight women who form strong attachments to gay males. But don’t be expecting to see toxic traces of Will & Grace – or even Karen & Jack. With one or two exceptions, these women have full, emotionally-satisfying lives that make room for a best friend who happens to be gay.

Wait. A show about gay men and their female queer-peers? Didn't that meme sputter out around 2003 when Will & Grace started to feel old-hat? And haven't we basically already seen this dynamic in a hundred other reality shows, many of which feature female leads with their gay BFFs? What could there possibly be left to say?
Truthfully, not that much. But it's a credit to Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys, which premieres December 7th at 10 Pm on the Sundance Channel, that it's a smart, watchable show anyway.
The key to its success is that, unlike Will & Grace, it isn't really "about" gay guys and their female pals. Sure, the show establishes its gimmick early on, with one of the woman saying, "He's the man who won't ever leave me," and another saying,...
