I grew up watching My Favorite Martian in the early sixties. It seemed perfectly normal to me, these two men living together in a little apartment above a neighbor's garage. But I know now that Tim O'Hara's secret was not that his "Uncle Martin" was an extraterrestrial from Mars: He was his queeny gay lover. How else explain all the camp cultural references, the gourmet meals they cooked together, the endless wit, and the biting sarcasm.
Oh god, I *loved* that show.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I shouldn't admit that in such a public place. ;)
Seriously. It's more like My Favorite Bottom.
ReplyDeleteCharles! ~grin~
ReplyDeleteOh. So that's why I liked that show when I was a little kid. Here I thought it was the antennae that rose out of the head of the red-haired guy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for cluing me in.
;-)

Come to think of it I loved "Batman" too (the Adam West tv series version).
ReplyDeleteWhy on EARTH did it take me so long to figure out about being queer? *grin*
And don't forget "Mr Ed," "My Three Sons," "Family Affair," "The Odd Couple," all these men living with men (or horses). hehehe
ReplyDeleteI had some fun putting capris on your martians. They looked darn good.
ReplyDeletePirooz: give me a link . . . I'd love to see them.
