Summary

"The Joker Is a Card" (October 14, 1965)

Nearly two hundred episodes later, we're finally returning to Bewitched to give Uncle Arthur a proper introduction. And while he's a big part of Bewitched's gay fandom, Paul Lynde brings a lot of baggage to the role that taught Americans to laugh at eccentric gay weirdos everywhere.

Watch the new season of Glen's show, Ninjago: Dragons Unleashed!

Listen to Drew discussing 16-bit horror video games on Retronauts.

This episode featured a lot of references to previous episodes, so here are all of those, for your listening pleasure:

Finally, the Hollywood Squares zingers all come from this YouTube compilation.

Hello and welcome to gayest episode ever, the podcast where we discuss the LGBTQ episodes of classic sitcoms.

0:35.1

I'm Drew Mackey.

0:35.9

I'm Glenn Lakin.

Glenn, did I tell you that someone corrected my grammar in the opening to the podcast? Wow, you loves. I'm Drew Mackie. I'm Glenn Lakin. Glenn, did I tell you that

0:37.7

someone corrected my grammar in the opening to the podcast? Wow, you love that. I do love that.

0:42.4

They pointed out that I say the podcast where we discuss when I should say the podcast on which we

discuss because where is used to denote like actual physical location and in which is used to denote

like metaphorical locations.

1:01.3

How full of rage are you right now?

1:03.1

I am full of rage, but it's actually thematically appropriate for this episode.

1:08.1

So this is going to seem like a tangent where I'm just like laying into someone using the podcast as a platform to be snotty. But I'm going to tie it back to Bewitched, which is the TV show we're talking about this week.

2:18.5

You're coming in with the correction to be technically correct, but it's not needed. And also,
