Hi everyone, Here's a couple more examples of gay characters in television series: There was a occasionally appearing gay male couple in the ABC comedy Barney Miller (one being a stereotype, the other non-stereotypical); And in the ABC sitcom The Nancy Walker Show, airing during a half season in 1976, a regular male character was gay (see Brooks and Marsh, The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows, Sixth Edition, p. 728). Can I be nominated for the obscure reference award for this one?
