THAT GAY EPISO
Hi. This is the fourth and fal stallment of our summer ren seri where we send out old episos that we thk are good but perhaps didn’t get all the attentn they should have. This Wgs episo is actually our least-listened-to episo, and we’re pretty sure that is a rult of Drew namg origally “Roy Biggs Has a Big Gay Son.” We’re bettg that foreontg the fact that ’s Wgs will help more people listen to , bee you’re more likely to know what Wgs is than you are to remember who Roy Biggs was. Eher way, this is an episo we will be revisg the not-too-distant future when we do the episo where Roy’s gay son back to the show!

But as anyone that’s e out knows, that sh of self-aware phoria wh a chaser of stggle, and that’s the se Wgs’ first gay episo. It’s not a blunt nmnatn of homophobia like Cheers’ gay episo, but actually gets a lot more right than Barney Miller’s misguid gay extortn plot. There’s one reason why the 1990 Wgs episo “There’s Always Room For Cello” works: was -wrten by out gay wrer (and Wgs and Frasier -creator) David Lee.
