Gayest Episode Ever John Goodman Played Gay on Normal, Ohio
"Caught on Tape" (November 15, 2000)
John Goodman's follow-up sitcom to Roseanne was Normal, Ohio, which only lasted seven episodes before Fox yanked it from its schedule in late 2000. Unfortunately, the take-away from its failure was that audiences wouldn't buy a guy like Goodman playing gay, which is perhaps not one of the problems this show needed to fix? This week, special guest / homosexual academic Hollis Griffin joins us to discuss why this show didn't work and why it's still worth discussing as a failed imitator to Will & Grace.
