“A
Real Guy’s Guy” (October 25,1991)
Hear us out here: Coach is a good sitcom even if you don’t like
football. In fact, Drew likes Coach even though he actively
despises football. This fourth-season episode has Craig T. Nelson’s
character reacting to news that one of his players is gay, and it’s
actually pretty flawless in terms of what a gay episode can be: a
sympathetically written one-off queer character + a realistic model
for how someone who isn’t comfortable around LGBTers can admit this
without taking it out on anyone else. In short, a total grand
slam.
And
check out Coach’s Clare Carey playing a sexy robot alien woman on
the
Super Mario Bros. Super Show as a reminder of how weird this show actually
was.
