Summary
"Terry Unmarried" (February 20, 2011)
The second season of the Family Guy spinoff makes the surprising decision to have Terry, Cleveland's womanizing coworker buddy, come out as not straight. And while that's good, it's sort of weird how no one ever suggests that he might be bisexual. This retcon underscores problems with bi representation in media, but we're also going to talk about how during the four years it was on Fox, The Cleveland Show was one of the only black sitcoms on broadcast TV… for better or for worse.
Please note: This is the one and only time this podcast will discuss Auntie Momma.
