A Gay Man Searches for Family in Ohio: The Forgotten John Goodman Sitcom
Manage episode 357612007 series 3431358
Before they did The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec, The Big Bang Theory, and How I Met Your Mother Jessica and Zach have decided, for no discernable reason, to do Normal, Ohio, John Goodman's first project after Roseanne that only lasted seven episodes.
Normal, Ohio follows Butch, a gay man played by John Goodman, who returns to his titular hometown to reconnect with his family. It...is objectively terrible, but is an interesting time capsule for how gay characters have been depicted in American Comedy.
So join us as Jessica and Zach put on their flannel shirts and crack open a cold one and take a trip to Normal, Ohio.
