The L Word premiered on SHO in January 2004. This series explores the lives and loves of a group of Los Angeles lesbians. Jenny Schecter is a gifted young writer of fiction who just completed her MFA at the Iowa Writer's Workshop. With a major literary award and one published short story to her credit, she arrives in Los Angeles to begin her "adult life" with her boyfriend - soon to be fiance - Tim Haspel, a women's swim coach at a large state university. They reside in West Hollywood, next door to Bette Porter, a museum director, and her partner Tina Kennard. Bette and Tina have been a couple for seven years and are trying to find the perfect sperm donor to help them to start a family as they struggle with their relationship and the roles they've chosen or found themselves in and what it all means to their future. Bette and Tina's close network of friends includes Shane McCutcheon, a hairdresser and the resident heartthrob; Dana Fairbanks, a professional tennis player not yet out of the closet; bisexual journalist Alice Pieszecki; and Bette's half-sister Kit Porter, who is a musician and a recovering alcoholic.
