Chrissy's date - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

BestTVever · 05-09-2021, 06:37 AM

This episode has a very odd situation. Dick Sargent stars as Chrissy's older love interest. Dick was gay (but not out at the time) but had lived with his lover for many years during this time. He was playing a straight guy and making fun of Jack inferring he was gay. Jack, who sometimes played a fake gay guy then makes fun of Dick for being old. Them sitting together on the couch taking shots at each other is funny but sort of odd considering Dick was gay playing a straight guy and making fun of a possible gay guy. And Jack a straight guy sometimes playing a gay guy making fun of Dick for being old.

Just funny and unique.

And Elmo was played by Reb Brown the star of dreadful B-movies in the 80's and 90's.

It was hilarious when he carried Jack & then got him tied up in his own sweater!
