Getting gay-themed entertainment to the public can be a difficult thing and results in some odd idiosyncracies. For example, viewers of OUTtv in Canada, Belgium, The Netherlands & Sweden have been able to enjoy the show BoysTown on television.
However, despite that fact it’s made in the US it’s never aired there, and likewise us Brits are severely lacking in any gay focussed TV networks – despite there being a satellite channel for pretty much everything else – so we haven’t seen it either.
It’s great then that the maker of the show, Reidling Entertainment, has decided to turn it into a web series so that everyone around the world can take a look. While based on the show that aired on TV, it’s been re-edited to give a ‘different twist’, with each episode providing a different outlook on the series and may include unreleased footage.
Creator Ricky Ricky Reidling describes BoysTown as ‘a cross between a gay Desperate Housewives and Sex & the City about 8 men living there lives in Los Angeles where they are always getting themselves into situations that they have a hard time getting out of’. Hunter Ackerman, Jesse Seann Atkinson, Eric Dean, Albertossy Espinoza, Chace Farguson, Jim Patneaude, Ricky Reidling & Peter Welkin star.
The first episode of the web version of the show has now been released, with more coming each Friday over the coming weeks. Take a look at Ep. 1 below.
