This is a preview of the first installment of Weirdest Episode Ever, about "The Day the Spores Landed," the male pregnancy episode of The Cosby Show. Yes, talking about Bill Cosby and the assault allegations sucks, but if we truly are exploring the weird side of sitcom history, we had to talk abo...

Hello and welcome to the first installment of Weirdest Episode Ever, our new Patreon bonus series exploring the times classic sitcoms veered into horror, sci-fi, fantasy or otherwise weird genres you would not expect in the half-hour format. And we have dropped a majorly weird one to kick stuff o...

“Jonathan the Gymnast” (November 18, 1986)
Technically, Who’s the Boss? never did a gay episode, but because Danny Pintauro’s sexuality looms large over this sitcom, many episodes seem a little gayer as a result — and this episode especially so. In it, Tony and Angela step into th...

So it looks like Weirdest Episode Ever won the vote — not by a lot, but by enough that we feel safe calling it. So the plan is for us to get going on the episodes next week, with the first chunk of the 10-episode season coming out before the end of year and the second half in 2023.
We hav...

“Enemies” (April 14, 1996)
You may recall a late-series installment of Married… With Children that shifted focus away from the Bundys and onto an apartment of young sexy people who apparently despised each other. This was “Enemies,” a kinda-sorta send-up of Friends that never saw ...

“It May Look Like a Walnut” (February 6, 1963)
It’s not the first “weird” episode that a sitcom ever did, but it’s probably the most famous: the second-season installment of The Dick Van Dyke Show where it departed from the usual formula and became a sci-fi B-movie. It turns out...

I decided to end GEE Movie Club, for a few reasons, the most important of which is that I’m trying to avert burnout by eliminating work that’s not central to the stuff I care most about.

It's linked to in the show notes, but I thought I'd also post the original "The Family" sketch that ultimately morphed into Mama's Family. Written by at least one queer person, it's not funny so much as it is very well-realized about what it's like to be a creative person who does no longer can b...
