What is the most unintentionally homoerotic TV show ever?

[Beware the Beast Man]

I'll let you decide. I can't think of any at the moment, but the Flintstones usually comes to mind.

[Coventina]

1. My vote is "Bosom Buddies"

with Tom Hanks and that other guy.

[phusion]

2. Laverne and Shirley?

I mean, putting gloves (covering up) on longneck bottles...Tell me that isn't symbolic of something.

:shrug:

[Bok_Tukalo]

3. NFL Monday Night Football

<ope>

[XNASA]

6. Bingo!!!

Good thing I looked before I posted the same.

[VelmaD]

9. Ah but are we talking about...

the current iteration where I see NO sexual tension between Al Michaels and Madden? Or the old version where you just KNOW Cossell, Gifford, and "Dandy" Don were getting it on during commercials? ;)

[XNASA]

17. We're talking about the players!!!!

:rofl:

And about all the guys watching the game at home, tightly squeezed together on the sofa. You know.....the 'bonding' routine.

[VelmaD]

29. Oh HELL YEAH!

All those tight white pants and patting each other on the butt. Yummm.

[VelmaD]

4. Highlander the series...

had some moments but it's hard to say if they were 100 percent unintentional.

[Beware the Beast Man]

7. Same could be said about Xena: Warrior Princess

Which allegedly had a huge lesbian cult following.

[Hugin]

11. I'm a lesbian?

Shocking to find out this way.

;)

[Salviati]

42. Not just a lesbian... but a HUGE lesbian...

or did I interpret "huge lesbian cult following" wrong...

[Bok_Tukalo]

46. I think he said "unintentionally"

<ope>

[skygazer]

5. Batman

Older mentor with impressionable young man for a sidekick? C'mon, we all know what was going on in the Batcave!

[Zuni]

10. and well, Robin just looked gay

[CBGLuthier]

8. That 70's show

It may be more intentional but over the years I have thought that Fez and Kelso should just move in together.. wait a minute, they have!!!!!

[giant_robot]

12. Yogi Bear

C'mon, tell me Booboo isn't a needy little bottom! :evilgrin:

[democracyindanger]

13. Queer Eye For the Straight Guy

Oh, wait, nevermind.

[phusion]

24. Yea, and Will & Grace

I was thinking the same...

:eyes:

[swag]

14. Star Trek

[amazona]

51. yea Star Trek TOS is the winner

Roddenberry claimed to the day he died that the homoeroticism in that show was unintentional.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.
--John Mitchell, US Attorney General 1969-72

[Tom Kitten]

15. Johnny Quest

Dr. Quest and Race Bannon? Johnny and Hadji?

[asthmaticeog]

16. Sigmund and the Sea Monsters

Bear with me here: Two young boys have a secret. It's a "monster," and their friends and family won't understand. They keep this secret "friend" hidden in their clubhouse on the beach, their private retreat where they can enjoy their "friend" away from prying eyes of those who'd keep them apart.

Yeah, I should go back to work...

[Beware the Beast Man]

18. Didn't Charles Nelson Reilly star in that, too?

Hmmm...

[salvorhardin]

22. That was Lidsville

Sigmund had Rip Taylor.

[asthmaticeog]

25. Nope. Rip Taylor.

[Beware the Beast Man]

26. Well, you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Guys in bad toupees, that is. ;)

[Yavin4]

19. Easy, "Frasier"

Come on, Miles and Fraiser Crane were two Gay men.

[arwalden]

20. Bonanza

Little Joe... going commando in those those tight trousers! Oh, My, God!

[Zuni]

27. Best post yet

I myself had NEVER thought of Bonanza as homoerotic, but now I see it, loud n' clear

[Coventina]

28. Don't you mean "loud n' queer"?

:hide:

:evilgrin:

[tjwash]

35. Oh HELL yeah. Four men all living together in a cozy little cabin...

...however give them a little consideration, every time one of the Cartright boys gets a girlfriend, she is dead by the end of the day.

[Jane Eyre]

55. Five!! You forgot Hop Sing!!

Very multicultural show. Lessee...Hoss' mother was a Swede, Little Joe's mom was French and I think that Adam's maternal heritage was English.

Then there was Hop Sing, the domestic diva before there was Martha Stewart.

[salvorhardin]

21. Facts of Life

I always thought Tootie, Blair, Natalie, Jo and Mrs. Garrett had a rather odd relationship, but then Cloris Leachman moved in!

[LiberallyInclined]

23. what makes you so sure that any homoeroticism is unintentional...?

it is hollywood after all...and you know what they say about those creative types...

[LDS Jock]

30. pro wrestling

Not the kind where they slam chairs against each other, but the kind where two guys in speedos roll around on the ground, wrapping their arms and legs around each other in holds. Pro wrestling was my first kind of porn.

[The Donkey]

49. Ironically . . .

'Rasslin' is one of the most-watched genres by the most homophobic people in the country - what with it being so "macho" and all . . . .

[sister_rosa_refried]

64. Now your talking, dear.

[Zuni]

31. Hogans Heroes

all those men locked away in a Prison camp...Col. Klink obviously a little light in the loafers...that riding crop and the Wehrmacht Uniforms...how else do you think Hogan was able to get Klink to do so much for him?

[Beware the Beast Man]

32. Are you familiar with Bob Crane? That man was a freak!

[terrya]

33. Which the excellent film "Autofocus" details.

[Zuni]

39. Autofocus was very, very good

Willem Dafoe was uber-creepy in that

[terrya]

45. One of Defoe's best performances in recent years, imo.

A subtle..but creepy performance.

Greg Kinnear was also good as Bob Crane.

[Zuni]

40. I know all about it

guy was a true home pornography hobbyist

[Worst Username Ever]

34. CHiPs

[Momgonepostal]

43. ooo...good call

Those uniforms are so tight the stars look like male strippers.

[Paranoid_Portlander]

36. Dukes of Hazzard, because...

...of the very tight jeans all over the place, except, mercifully, Boss Hogg and Uncle Jesse. And I'm sure it's completely unintentional, because good ol' boys would never be homoerotic. Spankings are sometimes discussed on the show (butt never actually shown).

[Worst Username Ever]

37. The Republican National Convention

[Dave Sund]

38. Can't Believe No One's Mentioned: Xena

[Beware the Beast Man]

41. See #7 above.

:hi:

[Dave Sund]

44. Missed it

I was right to assume it would be among the first, though. ;)

[LostInAnomie]

47. Hercules: The Series

Kevin Sorbo and his little friend going all over the country-side fighting monsters (i.e. the Cyclops *wink wink*). Both all oiled up and clothes mostly ripped off by the end.

Xena was pretty homoerotic as well.

[KamaAina]

48. The CBS Evening News with Bob Schieffer

for one day, anyway...

[musette_sf]

50. The McLaughlin Group

hands down! John is the Champeen Wrasslin' host, and you can tell that all that Pat and Tony want to do is git down 'n' wrassle. Too bad Novakula and Freddy "Beadle" Barnes are no longer in the pit.

[Orangeone]

52. gilligan's island

The Skipper and his "little buddy."

[nytemare]

53. "Charlie Brown"

[mondo joe]

54. Wild Wild West!

[Rabrrrrrr]

56. The Honeymooners

[Rabrrrrrr]

57. The 700 Club

[solinvictus]

58. Hannity and Colmes..

They're like a gay S&M couple with Colmes being the catcher. Of course, Hannity probably lets Alan wear the leather at least once per month.

[Liberal Classic]

59. He Man and the

Masters of the Universe

[AntiCoup2K4]

60. Never would have believed that until I saw this....

http://www.malevole.com/mv/misc/tribute/

[Liberal Classic]

62. I was having flashbacks of

Jason and The Argonauts! ROFL

[NinetySix]

61. Sanford & Son -- Grady was HOT!

What a ridiculous thread.

[LoZoccolo]

63. The episode of /Bonanza/ where they go to San Francisco!

There are all these things that could be taken more than one way if you get creative.

[Canadian Socialist]

65. X-Files

Come on! Mulder & Skinner? Mulder & Krychek? HOT.
