It's hard to believe that The L Word will air its last episode on Sunday. For six seasons, showrunner Ilene Chaiken has delivered titillating storylines, drama-filled relationships, real-world twists and turns, and, oh yeah, a lot of hot sex.
But what will our televisions look like without the weekly dose of lesbian and bi women teetering our way in their fabulous shoes?
The series finale of The L Word airs Sunday, March 8 at 9 PM on Showtime, with a retrospective of all six seasons airing at 8 PM.
- With The L Word off the air, that leaves us clinging to Callie and Arizona on Grey's Anatomy for views of any significant lesbian relationships -- and right now it seems the show's sights are squarely set on Meredith and Derek's romance.
- Angela (Bones) and Thirteen (House) are both (apparently) bisexual women, but are rarely seen dating any real, live ladies; they're usually just making out with them in "very special episodes."
- Nip/Tuck ended this week with lesbian anaethesiologist Liz Cruz marrying Dr. Christian Troy because she's lonely and he thought he was dying.
- Heather on Big Love may be gay, but she's a devout Mormon and very comfortable in that closet of hers in Utah.
- The teen soapy drama South of Nowhere regularly featured two queer gals, but sadly, it signed off permanently last fall.
- All I can say is, Weeds better hurry up and return because pre-teen Isabelle may be the only openly gay woman on cable left!
