I personally can vouch for that because I have some pretty conservative, traditional-family oriented, religious friends who actually mentioned how much they love “that gay couple on Modern Family.”
The new CW series Hellcats introduced cheerleader Patty “The Wedge” Wedgerman (Elena Esovolova) in its new season that debuted last fall. Unfortunately, the character was short-lived and disappeared after just a few episodes. According to AfterEllen, “the writers had a difficult time adding the character to the mix — something that had nothing to do with Patty’s character description.” Consequently, on May 17, 2011, The CW announced that Hellcats would not be renewed for the 2011 fall schedule.
While there’s not another show like The L Word, except for the BBC drama Lip Service, there are some highly successful shows, including Glee, Grey’s Anatomy, The Good Wife that have gay, lesbian, or bisexual couples or characters. Some of the bisexual female series regulars in 2010-2011 TV season included Dr. Callie Torres on Grey’s Anatomy, Dr. Remy “Thirteen” Hadley on House, Angela Montenegro on Bones, Kalinda Sharma on The Good Wife, Adrianna Tate-Duncan on 90210, and new character Lucinda Pearl on Outlaw.
