Steve Bartlestein? Wow. Didn't see that coming at all.
How about one show that should've always had a gay character--STAR TREK? Original Series, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager? They always dabbled in the idea of same sex relationships, but always with a sci-fi slant. But never a character that was just plain ol' gay. Not that it had to be a plot point or anything, but to have one there would've been something amazing to see on such an influential show.
