This may not be Bugs Bunny’s all-time greatest drag look, but it’s easily his sluttiest. And on the newest @gayestepisodeever.bsky.social, we’re joined by @tonyrodriguez.bsky.social to discuss it and other queer-leaning Looney Tunes shorts.

This week, we're covering The Critic, a show whose mix of high and low read as fairly gay, even if Jay Sherman himself repeatedly insisted that he was straight... almost every episode.

Hey, that's us! And we did a few episodes on Ross and his weird relationship with Susan and Carol, but for our money, the best (and best-aging) LGBTQ sitcom episodes are the Cheers episode "The Boys in the Bar," The Simpsons episode "Homer's Phobia" and The Golden Girls episode "Isn't It Romantic?"

It's actually the SNL sketch Rabun to Shiri, but yeah, that's the joke. Boo Boo Kitty-chan for life.

In celebration of Tubi getting all the Looney Tunes shorts, we are doing a @gayestepisodeever.bsky.social about those (plus Merrie Melodies) that lend themselves to queer readings. So...

Got a gay seeming Loones cartoon you think we should cover? Tell me!

What's that? You say Laverne & Shirley never did a gay episode? Well, give us any chance, we'll take it! Because we've got Stacie Ponder on to discuss the sapphic undertones of the show about female roommates who work in a brewery.

Oh don’t be surprised. It didn’t come up because I hadn’t ever heard of the episode until now.

A Price is Right shirt on amazon that says "I've waited my whole life to see Bob" with "Bob" crossed out and replaced with "Drew"

this episode is reminding me of when I had a chance to write actual Doctor Strange for actual marvel and I just wrote for Doctor Orpheus (I got sent to She-Hulk in the end)

In the latest @gayestepisodeever.bsky.social, we talk The Cleveland Show. No really! It actually did something sitcoms rarely do by outing one of its major characters. and it's actually kinda good?? ... even if it never considers that Terry could be bi.

Rebecca Howe Is Not a Lesbian (But Kirstie Alley Did Save Cheers) β€” Gayest Episode Ever We settle the Diane vs. Rebecca debate once and for all by deciding they’re both great.

This week, we're going back to Boston with special guest @jonathanbwelch.bsky.social to discuss an ep where Rebecca gets mistaken for a lesbian... and to settle the Rebecca vs. Diane debate once and for all. (Spoiler: They're both great.)

I am just finishing a series rewatch of Drew Carey. It's better than you'd think but sometimes not great in the way anything from the 90s could be. But the fact that it was a working class demo that arguably did better than the metropolitan yuppie-coms is something. We're doing another episode soon

Ventures Bros. Is a Very Gay Show, But… β€” Gayest Episode Ever The Captain Sunshine episode represents this show in peak early 2000s humor mode.

This week, we're discussing Venture Bros., which we love... even if the show has a problem with snickering about the idea of two men doing it that gets even weirder with the Captain Sunshine ep.

One of the best aspects to the David/Stevie love triangle storyline on Schitt’s Creek is how quickly it reveals that they’re too emotionally stunted to share a hot guy.

In our latest, we're joined by @sinagrace.bsky.social to take a break from sitcoms and explore a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers where Billy and Kimberly swap bodies and we dare to call it a parable about gender performance.

Mork Is the Mommy, Mindy Is the Daddy β€” Gayest Episode Ever A silly show about an alien showcases parenting outside the gender norms.

This week, we're joined by @feitclub.bsky.social to discuss Mork & Mindy, and how this silly show about a woman who marries her annoying space alien roommate is also a glimpse at parenting outside the typical gender norms. www.gayestepisodeever.com/episodes/mor...

Looking back, not only are Duke Igthorn and his team of (all male) ogres queer coded, but the whole AotGB show is pretty gay. I don’t think @gayestepisodeever.bsky.social has ever done an episode on the show and characters, but feel it would be interesting to hear them dissect it.

We haven’t! But we get it and we should! Can you think of a single episode that would make sense for us to focus on?

This week, we return to The Great North to profile Aunt Dirt, a Jane Lynch-voiced addition to the show. She's crucial lesbian curmudgeon representation, and it’s kind of awesome how she’s just baffled by contemporary gay culture.
