Out Of How Many Episodes?
Tired last night after the marvelous parades, Grey and I turned on some TV for Aging Gen-Xers channel and found WKRP in Cincinnati, which neither of us had seen in thirty-plus years. Of course it just had to be the episode where people are spreading rumors that Les Nessman is gay and Jennifer is transsexual. What are the chances?
I had a lot of feelings, as they say, about how the (non)gayness was handled fairly seriously while the (non)transsexuality was a punchline, and how today the gayness would be normal to most modern TV viewers, while the transsexuality would probably still be a punchline. However, I have fond memories of WKRP, and I'm typing this out on my phone, so I don't know if I really want to get into it.
