I don’t have cable, never have. There are shows without homos. But I don’t need much tv for entertainment. I can use Roku etc.
I own all of Stephen King's books. What I like about them is the back and forth between the characters. King has a bead on how people react to things and his dialogue is killer.
That being said, I have never liked any movie or series based on his work. For some reason, it just doesn't translate to the screen after the writers rewrite everything. A few minutes into Under the Dome, I found that to be true again.
“The Stand” was the closest thing to a successful book to screen attempt in my opinion.
