Daa Daa Da Daaa

I am watching Dynasty Season Two episode one, that delicious episode in which Alexis first arrives on the scene as the surprise witness at Blake’s trial. This, my favorite TV show as a kid, is why it’s not entirely true when I say that I didn’t have gay role models growing up. Speaking of, watching is making me remember things. Hideous, gay, things! Like that I had two gerbils, Alexis and Sable, and that I would hold one in each hand and pretend that they were fighting. Or that I played the theme quite handily on the piano. 

But for all the cat fighting, diva behavior, questionable dialogue, and bad 80s fashion, to my mind it is better than the crap on TV now. Personally, it taught me that gay people could fall in love (hello, Steven and Luke) and that black folks could be rich and eat in fancy restaurants and nearly burn to death in cheesy nightclubs. Is anyone learning anything from Farmer Wants a Wife?
