<em>THIS JUST IN</em> Say bye bye to Sordid Lives

Producer and writer Del Shores announced Monday that the rumored production for Season 2 of popular LOGO tv show, ‘Sordid Lives: The Series’ will not be going any further until situations are straighten out. In a facebook message to his fans he said:

Friends: I fought a good, hard fight, but at this time, there will be no Season 2 of “Sordid Lives: The Series” and I have no answer about Season 1 DVD. It is all a big f***ing mess that I can’t discuss at this time, but someday, you will know everything. I will continue to write and hopefully entertain you. I appreciate your loyalty and support. You have no idea! Please come see me while I’m on the road! And if you want to message me, feel free to — search for Del Shores. Love you all. Del Shores

The future of ‘Sordid Lives’ came under speculation as rumors grew regarding the alleged financial trouble of the LOGO network and the delayed production of its season two.

Not everything is gloomy though. Jason Dottley, Del Shores’ husband, recently jumped into the music business and has gone on small tours around the gay bars in the U.S. Dottley will also be starring in an upcoming movie, ‘Tainted Love,’ which begins filming in late May.

Are you a fan of the show? What do you think about the cancellation? Tell us!

The best show ever to appear on Logo. I pray someone settles all scores and brings it back!

How dare you folks post this? This is not meant for the public’s view. Trey C, you should be ashamed of yourself. You’re a complete D-Bag®.

Ashamed of what? I didn’t see anything in that quote that sounded shameful, lol. Am I missing something here?

I sure hope this isn’t true!! I guess I can’t argue with you if you heard from Del himself, but this is horrible news. It is such a great show, with real talent (award-winning and famous ones even), not to mention hot boys…not very often that straight up gay entertainment has this kind of pedigree. If you find out what we can do to protest or something, let us know!! Or I guess I don’t really need Logo anymore (sigh….)!

@Stephen: Totally true. There’s a whole agenda going on to ban LOGO. Let’s see how that goes.

The quotation was for his fans, not for public to read.

I am so upset about this. This is the best show to hit TV in years.

LOGO is using and abusing the LGBT community. Boycott LOGO?

Good riddance. An annoying, stupid show. If that is what passes as good entertainment for GBLT audiences, I’m embarrassed to be one viewer of the demographic.

I feel so bad. The cast was awesome. The writing great. The only reason I got Direct TV. I guess I can downgrade. Best wishes to Del.

This is a bunch crap. I was going to have Logo added to my lineup on cable, no point now. We should put heat on Logo. We are not all Lesbians you know!!!!!!!!!

I’m a d-bag? Dude, get a grip. This wasn’t even the embargoed version.

Without “Sordid Lives:The Series” who needs LOGO?
Straightenout the mess that the production comany “Once Upon A Shitass” (Stanley Brooks) started by hoarding all talents residuals and not paying the talent. Why? This is “theft of talent” and I want every guild, SAG/AFTRA, etc. to be on him tomorrow like a duck on a Junebug to get these actors their hard earned $$$. People lost health insurance. Someone lost their home!!!! Get this resolved and shop the show to SHOWTIME where Del wrote “Queer As Folk” for 3 years or another network. LOGO is at best behaving like a wishy-wahy network that jsut helped throw away the BEST SHOW they have ever had or EVER WILL hope to HAVE. The distributor is still selling “Sordid” to overseas markets so someone knows there is $$$ to be made….EMAIL LOGO and VIACOM (seperately) at logoonline.com and viacom.com and let them HAVE IT!
MAIL at least 10 postal cards to Logo/Viacom 1515 Broadway NYC, NY10036 Let your voice be heard! Call 212-258-6000. GET BUSY! RECRUIT YOUR FRIENDS TO EMAIL AND SEND POST CARDS!! NOW IS THE TIME!!!!!

Hey CadeRageous, Del Shores posted the quote on Facebook for all the world to see, it is not from some private email, and was meant to be public!

PS..You are an idiot!

Dear Del and Jason and all the other artists that made this tale a new TV experience for us:
Needless to say it is most unfortunate that LOGO would behave this way. I am certainly glad that Del has informed us of this dastardly behavior by LOGO.
I will want to send out an alert from the HAPPY Foundation to all Texans that this has happened.
And Remember:
