Please take a moment to sign up for my Substack — many pieces on it are free, or you can voluntarily chip in a small amount — in order to read my interview with filmmaker Keri Pickett, whose doc on her uncle Roy Blakey is looking for funds.
Roy Blakey was an amazingly gifted photographer and, like many gay men, an avid collector. In his case, he chose ice skating, having been a pro earlier in his life. He wound up with an archive of 40,000+ items worth about $1.6M, and the race to find a home for that and his unsurpassed male nudes is part of what will undoubtedly make Uncle Roy a great film

Today we’re digging through both pioneering shows of the past as well as viral present-day shows to bring you the Top Ten Best TV Shows for Male Nudity, ever.
Niche audiences aren’t the only ones enjoying male nudity in television shows these days. The mainstream success of The White Lotus proves that more people than you might suspect are curious to see what their favorite stars are packing.
We wouldn’t be where we are today without groundbreaking shows like Oz and True Blood, both of which leveled the playing field in bringing as much — or more, in the case of Oz — male nudity compared to female nudity.

We’re also thrilled to see so many offerings with gay characters. Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey get naked for intense sex scenes in Fellow Travelers, while Euphoria’s flashback episode brings us closeted high school lovers naked in the locker room.
Male nudity is more prevalent on TV than ever before, while at the same time, the male physique is less taboo than ever. The result? So many naked men on the small screen! Let’s get to it ...

Uncle Roy, the doc by photographer Roy Blakey's niece Keri Pickett — an acclaimed filmmaker — is almost here!
The following teaser shows that Pickett has done a good job of balancing the different sides of Roy, those being Roy the foremost collector of ice skating memorabilia in the world (44,000 pieces) and Roy, a trailblazing fine-arts physique photographer who shot breathtaking male nudes and volumes of celebrity portraiture.
Full Remembrance of Roy Blakey HERE
I'm always consumed by ideas of the end game, as a collector, and this doc is, too — it seems to be about the mad dash to enshrine his legacy in an institution of some kind within Pickett's lifetime. (Blakey died last year at 94.)
Synopsis:
Uncle Roy is a poignant exploration of family, memory, and artistic legacy. Filmmaker Keri Pickett delves into the life of her 93-year-old uncle, Roy Blakey, a trailblazer in theatrical ice skating and gay male photography. Their deep bond, as the last members of their family tree, is revealed through decades of recent and archival footage.
Roy’s story spans from the Depression-era to the present, beginning with his career in 1950s and 60s ice shows, finding an authentic gay life in the world of touring performances. He became a celebrated photographer in 1970s New York, as a second career, capturing stars like Debbie Allen, Shirley MacLaine, and Divine. He pioneered contemporary male nude photography with his groundbreaking book, HE (1972). Inspired by Roy, Keri followed in his footsteps, becoming a photographer and strengthening their lifelong connection.
The film showcases Roy’s extensive ice-skating memorabilia collection—over 44,000 items, spanning a century of dancing on ice. When Roy suffers a life-threatening seizure and the onset of dementia, Keri becomes his primary caregiver. As his memories fade, she races to fulfill his final wish: securing a home for his unparalleled and far-reaching archives.
