It may only be early summer, but already the leading US TV Networks are starting to test their new autumn blockbusters on audiences and focussing their PR efforts on generating as much pre-show publicity as they can.

One trend that is clear is that the networks this autumn are 'going big on gay' as one happily married, but suspuciously moustached, TV Exec put it.

Hot on the heels of Will & Grace, Queer Eye and Graham Norton, gay is now cool - so expect a whole raft of TV shows exploiting the pink lover.

Our Top Five GAY TV Tips for this Fall are:

1: CSI San Fransisco - crime scene investigations in the hot tub
2: Gay Fear Factor - extreme cottaging
3: The Simpsons - watch out for that Tom Cruise guest appearance
4: Desparate Househusbands - they're so desparate they'll try anything!

... and our personal favourite, which is said to be leaving test audiences shouting for more...

5: Clarence the Homosexual Budgie - The avian 'Will and Grace'

That's all coming to a TV near you, sometime soon.

The Queer Eye boys in the meantime will soon be seen in HBO's Tarantino spin-off:
'Reservoir Dogging'
