Despite a lot of screaming and holier-than-everyone hollering, Dan Savage’s sitcom The Real O’Neals is a go for ABC this fall. The story of a good Catholic boy who tries to skirt around the issue of being gay before finally coming out to his family (sound familiar?), The Real O’Neals has a great cast, including Martha Plimpton and Jay R Ferguson, and looks legitimately funny. Check out the trailer here!

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)
