if I recall.. Billy Crystal played the first openly gay character on TV... though Paul Lynde should have.. Billy is good.. Paul was a comedic genius

Love this show! The characters were so much fun and the writers ran with that. There are bits from it that my husband and I will still quote. Way ahead of its time and just brilliant.

Billy Crystal played the gay son and stole the show every week.

Daybonn, loved this show. It was considered controversial for it's day. But it was really a parody of the raunchy daytime soaps.

I remember that show way before its time, also another show "Something about Mary" was good too. Now look what they show on tv.

Daybonn, he was basically a stereotype for the first episode or two, but quickly became a fully developed, relatable character. Amazing for the time.
