2020-07-29 05:29:26 +0000 UTCThe Nanny, Season 4 "Danny's Dead and Who Has the Will" - Fran meets a gay man at a funeral whose loss of his partner and lack of legal recognition lead Fran to question her own lack of relationship definition with Mr. Sheffield. Gay character is relatively minor, but it does showcase a real loving gay relationship facing the consequences of no legal recognition.

2020-07-28 19:25:49 +0000 UTCThe Love Boat, Season 5, "Gopher's Roommate," starring Mackenzie Phillips as a trans woman. I only vaguely remember this episode, but generally credit Love Boat for introducing me to the culture as a babygay.

2020-07-16 18:19:22 +0000 UTCI voted for my favorites, but let’s be real, I’d listen to any of them.

2020-07-16 00:11:56 +0000 UTCI've loved your Simpons episodes so far, so I'm voting for that. But looking forward to whatever; I hope everything is ok with you guys.

2020-07-15 23:47:48 +0000 UTCThe simple answer is all of them, but I voted for the Golden Girls, because it’s one of my favorite shows and this was a particularly funny episode.I also voted for I would love to hear the Rosan, because while Roseanne Barr is a horrible person, the show was really wonderful and funny and groundbreaking in many ways and I’d love to hear your take on this episode, as well as the other Roseanne episodes, Leon’s wedding. I know you’ve discussed the Ab Fab Gay episode I’d love to hear your take on that, also might you consider doing the episode Small Opening, where Saffy has written a play about her life and a drag queen plays Patsy. While it’s not overtly gay there is queer subtext and a funny episode in my opinion. Take a well deserved break, but let me say THANK YOU for this great podcast!

2020-07-15 22:05:21 +0000 UTCI suggested this a while ago via twitter, but Becker’s S02E07, “He Said, She Said” would be a really great episode to cover regarding a trans person on a sitcom. There’s definitely some cringey language and phrases used but I feel like it’s a really important piece of sitcom history. It was the first trans person I ever saw on a sitcom as a baby trans kid.

2020-07-15 21:56:53 +0000 UTCIt's exciting to see a preview of what may be coming our way! I voted for "That '70s Show" for my next pick, but there's a "Rhoda" episode in which Gary wears a dress due to needing to borrow clothes and his interactions with Ida are interesting—plus I'd love to hear your thoughts on the character of Gary in general, who I feel would have been written as gay if the show happened a touch later.

2020-07-15 21:46:04 +0000 UTCOh, I would looove an episode on 3rd Rock From the Sun!

2020-07-15 21:33:32 +0000 UTCWhat a wealth of "very special" gay episodes of classic sitcoms! If you need more, I'd like to suggest "Frankie Goes to Rutherford" (3rd Rock from the Sun, 5x19) and MAYBE "Drew's Brother" (The Drew Carey Show, 3x09).

2020-07-15 21:31:13 +0000 UTCI understand it's not as classic as normally, but where American Dad has gotten through and is still running, I thought I'd at least suggest it.

2020-07-15 21:28:33 +0000 UTCI'd personally love for you to tackled 30 Rock! A lot of potential there: "Florida" (S07E10), the episode where Jack finds out his mom was a lesbian, "Blind Date" (S01E03) where Jack sets up Liz with a woman (which was GLAAD nominated), or anything with Devon Banks.
