So interesting to hear Nathan Lane remember how Robin Williams swooped in to protect Nathan from being outed before he was ready during the promo tour for The Birdcage in 1996. Here's the moment when it happened, and Nathan reflecting on it almost 30 years later:

It's the aspect ratio. When TV was a boxier 4x3, actors were sometimes made to stand bizarrely close so they could fit in the frame. It was so common on TV, viewers (mostly) accepted it as normal, even though if someone did this IRL you'd be like "uhhh could you back up" (2/6)

Now that we're used to 16x9, close-standy blocking is less common. But when a 4x3 show is converted to 16x9 (UGH) even if you can't put your finger on WHY, the blocking just feels ... odd. In 4x3, this composition is nice. In 16x9 Scully looks squished on his shoulder! (4/6)

One of my favorite jokes from Bewitched is having Endora just casually reading a magazine called "Harpies Bizarre"

This ep of All in the Family really is breathtaking -- a culmination of a 3-year (!) storyline involving a rare recurring queer character (!!) in the mid-70s (!!!). I got to interview Norman Lear about the making of those episodes & he talked about how proud he still is of them.

I just watched a 2-part episode of All in the Family in which Edith's dear friend, an apparently gay man and famous female impersonator, is beaten to death by antigay thugs, and Edith loses her faith in God. CBS aired the second episode on Christmas day 1977. Quite astonishing.

Ok, while we're on the subject of the amazing Rita Moreno, I also have to share this amazing scene of her causing utter mayhem in a gay bathhouse from THE RITZ.

The bathhouse connection: Prior to this, Rita was in THE RITZ, a film set in a NYC bath house & co-starring Paul B. Price...who she must've liked working with, because she got him a role on the sitcom a few years later. (Another THE RITZ co-star: John Ratzenberger, pre-Cheers!)
