The A List - A Guilty Pleasure

[JackTwist]

This show kinda reminds me of a gay Manhattan version of "Jersey Shores." I hope straight people don't watch this show (doubtful that they do) and think for a minute the majority of hard-working gay professionals are anything like these classless, attention-starved jokers.

Last night I was desperately channel-surfing, and I happened upon this show. The title is really a rip-off. I remember when there was a real A-List crowd in New York (maybe there still is), back in the 70s and 80s. But they weren't just hunky guys who socialized together and had a lot of sex. They also had serious careers, like lawyers, doctors, bankers, corporate executives, etc. I knew several men who were definitely part of the circuit--a couple of physicians, a socially prominent architect, a fast-track young executive with a major international corporation, a successful Broadway figure; most had Ivy League degrees. They played hard, and unfortunately most of them were early casualties of AIDS, but their inclusion on the A-List wasn't due just to their looks: they had class.

 

Kate Hepburn was A-List; Reichen and his friends are Lindsay Lohan-wannabes.

Charlie..One thing this Crowd is not is HUNKY or anything Close to it. I think this "15 min Storyline" with R & R as the STARS (?) has definitely run the course.

The "A-List" reunion which was on Logo last night with Ms. Wendy was a complete waste. The three men who were on the left of the screen I admired in many ways; the four on the other side, minus the "husband" from England left much for me to desire in them! I'm glad that this series has ended and hope that it does not return for season two! There was little of anything about it that was uplifting! ...still have the hots for both R n R, though! -

Well at least there'd be a chance for a greater number of hotter guys - maybe an escort or two.

 

For me, the series (I caught more episodes than I'll ever admit to) had all the transfixing allure of watching a car crash: it was so thoroughly awful, I could not take my eyes off it. Did any of them - with the possible exception of humpy Rodiney - have even the remotest connection to reality? I'm ashamed: truly ashamed. I almost longed for "Boys inThe Band". Now when do you think the LA version will start?

[josephga]

most likely late next year. this series is produced by the same people that over see the real housewives of Atlanta. by the time we see these things its been about 6 months since filming wrapped. the reunion shows are normally taped about 2 weeks b4 we see them atleast thats how it works on the housewives series. I'm surprised this didn't turn up on bravo. maybe boy meets boy ratings were low when that aired few years ago

Has anyone heard if season one ratings were good? The show (and its cast) was a train wreck. Bravo must have had some ratings success with it,however, if they are producing an L.A. spin-off.
