- Sordid Lives was a 2000 independent film, written and directed by Del Shores, which performed poorly at the box office. The movie is based on Shores' play of the same name and includes elements of his life, according to the director's DVD commentary. The film was followed by the 2008 television series Sordid Lives: The Series. The original stage play premiered in Los Angeles on May 11, 1996 and ultimately won 14 Drama League Awards. The film met with mixed reviews from mainstream audiences but became a cult classic with LGBT fans, particularly in the South. The movie tells the story of a Texas family coming together in the aftermath of the matriarch's death. To keep the stories going, Viacom's new premium station Logo greenlit twelve episodes of Sordid Lives: The Series. The television version begins at a point before that covered in the film, providing a chance to cast Rue McClanahan as the mother, Peggy Ingram. Much of the film cast returned, including Leslie Jordan and Olivia Newton-John. Delta Burke was replaced with Caroline Rhea, while the part of Ty Williamson (formerly played by Kirk Geiger) is now portrayed by director Del Shores' partner (and apparent same-sex husband) Jason Dottley. Dottley has been on the national tour of the stage production of Sordid Lives since September 2007. The television series began airing in July 2008.
