Maude Goes to a Gay Bar
Added 2020-05-21 06:42:28 +0000 UTC“The Gay Bar” (December 3, 1977)
And then there’s Maude — for a second time! In this final-season installment, Maude battles Arthur (Conrad Bain) over his opposition to a gay bar that’s just opened up in town. It’s basically Arthur having conversation after conversation in which other character break apart his justifications for homophobia. But funny!
If you want the backstory about how Maude came to be, listen to our previous episode about it. And if you want to find out about the strange way Maude ended, listen to our Night Court episode, in which Drew apparently ended up talking about it. No, he doesn’t remember why either.
Back in the early days, SNL was brutal to Anita Bryant in a way it’s not really capable of anymore. Also here is a song she never had any business singing.
“Inuyasha!” “Kagome!” “Inuyasha!” “Kagome!”
And, of course, the secret extended version of the theme to Maude.

I really feel like Glen missed the opportunity to say Pie Forever at the end of the episode

2020-05-27 20:10:23 +0000 UTCThen I don't know what to tell you. Some people on the regular, non-Patreon feed had that problem but as far as I know no one here has had that problem. If you go here: https://gayestepisodeever.libsyn.com/maude-goes-to-a-gay-bar You should be able to hear the the version with clips
Drew Mackie
2020-05-27 20:07:33 +0000 UTCYes I was.

2020-05-27 20:04:54 +0000 UTCThis has happened to a few people but not everyone. Are you listening here on Patreon?

2020-05-27 19:35:11 +0000 UTCIs it just me or are the Maude episode clips missing in the recording?
Jymmi
2020-05-27 19:34:32 +0000 UTCI do like that. That's a good joke.
Drew Mackie
2020-05-21 18:13:27 +0000 UTCIt's not a sitcom, but there's a running joke I love on Greek that there are two bars named "Gentleman's Choice." One is a strip club with female performers, and the other is a gay bar. That show consistently does a good job with lgbt story lines. It's the ABC Family/Freeform thing.
