For me it was a blast. Reminds me of the Golden girls gay brother episodes ten years later at least On a nostalgia channel tonight.
The bar has the feel of a cocktail lounge. The gay man that Maude picks to educate Dr Harmon is very believable.
Hostility and ignorance were very much part of reality for gay people
There was generally nothing supportive on TV. In media. No openly gay celebrities. With several exceptions.
Gay marriage was a dream.
Orange juice reference may be odd to younger viewers
Now that I'm a senior voice of wisdom and experience
So Conrad Bain's hysterical response to hand holding
Isn't exaggerated
Funny and positive episode. Right on Maude!
