Er, am I the only person who just found out that Glenn Scarpelli was gay?

I knew he was gay before I even knew what "gay" was!

;D

[dwanollah]

(Of course, now I'm all, "Well, DUH, he's gay!" I just never thought about it before! ;D)

ETA: He's still cute as a button.

Whaaaaa?

I guess not, since I hadn't heard a thing about that.


If that show were on the air now and someone told me that, i wouldn't be surprised. But that is something that totally went over my head as a child. I was completely floored when someone told me that "Munroe" from Too Close for Comfort was gay, and he was played by Jm J. Bullock. I had absolutely no gaydar as a child.

I liked Schneider's vest, his little mustache and the way he worked that toothpick.

That saucy little 'stache of his aways freaked me out as a child. I'm not sure, he just looked like he would tie you to the tracks of a train and snicker with malevolent glee. The toothpick somehow made that all the more disquieting. I was a strange child.

Fuckin' Bonnie Franklin, what a horrible actress. I also hated Schneider, for he was an idiot.

My mom had most of Ann Romano's wardrobe.

Damn I feel old! This annoying little kid had an AIDS infected lover in the 80's? Where have I been (apparently off somewhere getting old)? He's still 13 to me.

I always wanted Valerie's brown suede blazer that she wore all the time on the show.. she was so cool in the 70's.

I hope she wore a bra though!

WHAT?!!? I had no clue.

Well, that totally explains why I was crushing on him on this show.

No kidding. Bonnie's southward bound boobies distracted me on every episode. God! That character was so self righteous sometimes. (Not that that has anything to do with wearing a bra.)

Does anyone remember how the series ended?

[dwanollah]

No, no bra. And her favorite thing through most of the late 70s-early 80s was that fucking zipper-up nightgown bathrobe thingie that Ann Romano always wore. And she'd yell a lot, too. Like I said, when she gets going, me and Sugarbear tell her she's "Ann-ing"! "What? What? What?"
