Will there ever be another critically acclaimed LGBT show?

Queer as Folk (US), The L Word, Angels In America, all had critical acclaim, viewers, decent acting, budget, etc.

You would think that this would set up for future shows, mini series, etc to follow in their footsteps, but there really hasn't been anything, even with LGBT networks like HERE and Logo, nothing fresh or really that great seems to be getting made.

What do you think is up with that? We keep hearing about how everyone is more accepting now, and we know that there's plenty of LGBT people sprinkled throughout hollywood and the major tv studios to make things happen, so why aren't they? Is it just b/c so many shows have a token LGBT character now that LBGT characters have become over-saturated?

Sounds up my alley, ha!

Honestly I'd really like ABC Family to do something, I think they could do it right up my alley. I really liked South of Nowhere on Teen Nick, it had the right sentimentality to it, but it was bogged down by a ensemble cast (most of which was not gay) with various uninteresting storylines.
