HBO features the greatest number of LGBT characters on cable with a total of 10 for the 2010-11 season.

ABC Family also finishes near the top of the scorecard with seven regular LGBT characters, which ties it with Showtime.
Blu-Ray Review: BBC’s ‘Being Human’ Deserves Your Attention
The drawback of the amazing onslaught of quality television outside of the broadcast networks and the pay channels has been that some great programs have gone relatively unnoticed. Every single one of you that fell in love with “Lost,” quoted “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” or obsessively watched “True Blood” owes it to yourself to check out the second season Blu-ray release of one of the best genre programs on television, BBC America’s ridiculously enjoyable “Being Human,” now available.
Eliza Dushku discusses the Faith spinoff that never happened
Dushku recently addressed that rumored Faith series, revealing the real reason it never happened:
“After I finished the show, I’d withdrawn from school and followed up with a couple of films like Bring It On, but I’d had such an awesome experience working with Joss I was ready to go down that road again. So I met with Joss and Tim Minear and spoke about the potential for a Faith spin-off. But Buffy had just gone on seven years and Joss was really straightforward: he couldn’t play the kind of day-to-day role he had on Buffy—he had his family.
I have to admit that I’ve never watched Being Human. I don’t know anyone who does watch it. Do you?
I’m disappointed in the way it played out with the Faith series with Eliza Dusku. I would have loved it!
