The Golden Girls Meet a Gay… for the Final Time? 1:10:15

2d ago1:10:15

1:10:15

"The Artist" (December 19, 1987) Over the years, we've shared a lot of laughs with the girls on the laini, but our journey with the four horniest seniors in the history of Miami has come to an end, as "The Artist" is the final gay episode of The Golden Girls that we have much to say about. It's a slight episode, in terms of gay rep, but it actually…

Happy Endings Comes Out for Thanksgiving 1:21:19

14d ago1:21:19

1:21:19

"More Like Skanksgiving" (November 20, 2012) Here you have it: the one other gay-themed Thanksgiving episode of a sitcom. Three seasons in, this one reveals heretofore-unheard canon that the Happy Endings characters exist as they do solely as a result of MTV's The Real World — and that Max things he might have been the first gay person on TV. Meanw…

The Gay Subtext of Dobie Gillis, TV's First Teen Sitcom 1:28:48

29d ago1:28:48

1:28:48

"The Ruptured Duck" (October 10, 1961) On the surface, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis tells the story of a teen boy who falls in love with every girl except Zelda Gilroy, who pines for him hopelessly. All of this is complicated by the fact that the Sheila Keuhl, the actor who played Zelda was in real life a gay woman who ultimately lost out on gett…

Marge Simpson Meets a Drag Queen 1:31:35

2M ago1:31:35

1:31:35

"Werking Mom" (November 18, 2018) Yes, The Simpsons did a drag episode, and you might be interested to know that the idea did not originate with "Hey, let's do one about RuPaul's Drag Race." In fact, co-writer Carolyn Omine provided some background info, including how the surprising success of drag queens in the Tupperware sales market ultimately r…

Small Wonder Celebrated an 80s Kid Who Was Different 1:52:41

2M ago1:52:41

1:52:41

"The Neighbors" (September 14, 1985) "Victor / Vicki-toria" (February 14, 1987) "The Bad Seed" (November 7, 1987) Ignore whatever you might have heard about Small Wonder and focus instead on how the show spotlighted Vicki (a.k.a. V.I.C.I), a kid who was labeled as different just for acting the only way she knew. As a result of being defiantly resis…

Fired Up Had the Best Gay Character on Must See TV 1:30:58

3M ago1:30:58

1:30:58

"Truth and Consequences" (September 29, 1997) Though it didn't even get a chance to finish out its second season, Fired Up was one of the rare Must See TV sitcoms to feature two female leads. What's more, the recurring gay character, Shannon (played by Mark Davis), is unusual in that he's out, confident and going about his life in a way you just di…

Not Just Bugs Bunny in Drag! (Seven Very Gay Looney Tunes Shorts) 2:30:36

3M ago2:30:36

2:30:36

It may not be news to listeners of this podcast, but the Looney Tunes cartoons can be very gay. In celebration of the nearly 800 shorts being hosted on Tubi, Drew, Glen and returning guest Tony Rodriguez look at some of our favorites that also lend themselves to a queer reading. And no, it's not all Bugs Bunny in Drag. In fact, we probably didn't p…

The Critic Is Very Gay (Even If Jay Sherman Is Not) 1:51:29

4M ago1:51:29

1:51:29

"Siskel & Ebert & Jay & Alice" (March 12, 1995) Finally, we get around to discussing one of our more formative comedic experiences, and it's one shared more or less exclusively by elder millennials: The Critic, which somehow managed to be both more grown up and more juvenile than The Simpsons. In this episode, we discuss how the two seasons of this…

Laverne & Shirley Check Into the Honeymoon Suite 2:14:35

4M ago2:14:35

2:14:35

"Honeymoon Hotel" (February 22, 1977) You innocent TV Land watchers may not have suspected that there was anything queer about Laverne & Shirley, a show about two women who share an apartment and work at a brewery. Sure, they're boy crazy, but also there's this episode where they scam their way into a bridal suite and downtown Milwaukee's finest ho…

The Cleveland Show Whiffs a Potentially Great Bi Episode 1:27:47

5M ago1:27:47

1:27:47

"Terry Unmarried" (February 20, 2011) The second season of the Family Guy spinoff makes the surprising decision to have Terry, Cleveland's womanizing coworker buddy, come out as not straight. And while that's good, it's sort of weird how no one ever suggests that he might be bisexual. This retcon underscores problems with bi representation in media…

Rebecca Howe Is Not a Lesbian (But Kirstie Alley Did Save Cheers) 2:20:37

5M ago2:20:37

2:20:37

"A Kiss Is Still a Kiss" (December 3, 1987) We're supporters of Shelley Long on this podcast, but in advocating for the Diane years of Cheers, we've overlooked the Rebecca years. As such, we're bringing Jonathan Bradley Welch back in to speak about what works well during the back half of the show. In a lot of ways, Kirstie Alley saved Cheers, but d…

Ventures Bros. Is a Very Gay Show, But… 1:34:13

6M ago1:34:13

1:34:13

"Handsome Ransom" (October 25, 2009) Let's say this at the top: We are both fans in general of The Venture Bros, but this extremely homosocial show has a tendency to tiptoe up to being full-on gay and then laughing it all off as a joke. It's a product of its time, and even explicitly gay characters like The Alchemist and Shore Leave don't get their…

Schitt's Creek Gets a Pansexual Love Triangle 1:40:02

6M ago1:40:02

1:40:02

"The Throuple" (January 17, 2017) We're back! Officially, but also now bimonthly — or biweekly, depending on how you want to look at it. And we are coming back in grand Canadian style by doing a show that Drew for years refused to do: Schitt's Creek! Because you asked! And asked and asked and asked! But have chosen not to do a Patrick epsiode for r…

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Does a Body/Gender Swap Episode 2:13:46

8M ago2:13:46

2:13:46

"Switching Places" (October 4, 1993) If you're reading this and deciding that Power Rangers is not a sitcom, you're correct! We're doing it anyway, and as elder millennials who were just a little too old for MMPR when it originally aired, we're bringing in a ringer in the form of Sina Grace — artist, writer and bonvivant. whose work in the comics w…

Mork Is the Mommy, Mindy Is the Daddy 2:28:55

8M ago2:28:55

2:28:55

"Mama Mork, Papa Mindy" (November 5, 1981) Thus far, we have not attempted the Happy Days universe of TV shows, and we're starting with this season four Mork & Mindy that has our interspecies marrieds creating a baby that redefine their gender roles. Essentially, Mork hatches an egg from which comes a child that puts a shocked Mindy in the role of …

Mary Hartman Meets a Gay Couple 1:35:36

8M ago1:35:36

1:35:36

This week, in a first-ever solo episode, Drew talks you through not just one episode of the cult series Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman instead the whole of the show's art for its two gay characters, Ed and Howard. What's remarkable about this nuanced portrayal of a same-sex couple is that by virtue of airing before the AIDS crisis, the showrunners didn…

The Great North Pushes Aunt Dirt Out of the Bunker — and Out of the Closet 1:14:44

9M ago1:14:44

1:14:44

"Bear of Beeftown Adventure" (April 7, 2024) About a hundred episodes later, this podcast is pleased to report that The Great North got even gayer with the season four addition of Aunt Dirt, voiced by Jane Lynch. She's been living in a bunker for sixty years and in this episode she learns about what it means to be a lesbian in the 2020s. Listen to …

Mr. Belvedere Meets a Kid With AIDS 1:28:42

9M ago1:28:42

1:28:42

"Wesley's Friend" (January 31, 1986) Yes, it's this episode. If you've seen any bit of it, it's probably the one line delivered by the focus character, and while we will admit it's a major groaner, it's not representative of this whole episode. No, this is a Mr. Belvedere "very special episode" that has its heart in the right place and which mostly…

Titus Is the Real Star of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt 1:39:17

9M ago1:39:17

1:39:17

"Kimmy Goes to Her Happy Place!" (April 15, 2016) Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a funny show. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a flawed show. These two things can both be true simultaneously, and you can not like the plotline given to Jane Krakowski's character, where it turns out she's actually Lakota posing as white, and still enjoy other elements of …

What's With All the Orphans in 80s Sitcoms? 1:02:32

10M ago1:02:32

1:02:32

If you grew up watching TV in the 80s, you may have noticed that there was a preponderance of… if not shows about orphans specifically then similar shows where the care of children was entrusted to people who weren't their parents and maybe didn't know how to raise kids. We're talking Diff'rent Strokes, Rags to Riches, Punky Brewster, Webster and G…

My Two Dads Can't Escape the Gayness of Its Title 1:31:46

10M ago1:31:46

1:31:46

"The Family in Question" (May 9, 1988) It might seem like a joke today, that a show called My Two Dads is about two very hetero bachelors. But don't let that stop you from appreciating My Two Dads for being a smarter, funnier version of Full House. They debuted the same week, and unlike Full House, My Two Dads actually acknowledges that gay people …

Gilligan's Island Does a Body Swap Episode 1:40:22

10M ago1:40:22

1:40:22

"The Friendly Physician" (April 7, 1966) Sure, Gilligan's Island may have skewed family-friendly, but its love of genre parody meant that it did a body swap episode in which all of its female characters end up in male bodies. Horny! That's enough to get our attention, even without the mad scientist bad guy with perversely vampiric sexual energy. Fo…

Curb Your Enthusiasm Acknowledges That a Child Seems Gay 1:57:47

10M ago1:57:47

1:57:47

"Larry vs. Michael J. Fox" (September 11, 2011) For better or worse, Larry David is a truth-teller, and the fictional version of him can help but to poke at social taboos. In this Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, Larry suspects that Michael J. Fox may be using Parkinson's to get away with bad behavior while also insisting that his latest love interest…

Sailor Moon Meets a Beguiling Genderfluid Villain 1:53:09

1:53:09

We are keeping our tradition of making our first post of the new year about Sailor Moon. That ep, about the debatably trans Sailor Starlights, is now live on Patreon — at $1 for subscribers but it can also be purchased for $3 for non-subscribers. But we're putting last year's Sailor Moon ep, about the villain Fisheye, on the main feed. Important no…

The Grand Unified Theory of Why Frasier Seems Gay 2:21:20

12M ago2:21:20

2:21:20

"The Matchmaker" (October 4, 1994) Whelp, it's our 250th episode (sort of), and we're celebrating by going back and reexamining our first-ever episode and, really, the reason this podcast exists in the first place: "The Matchmaker" from Frasier's second season, which the show used to tell viewers definitively that no, despite all appearances otherw…
