"Lost in Space" wasn't technically a sit-com but it sure did turn out that way didn't it? Yeah i agree Dr. Smith was one big ol flamer.

Yes. Humphres....so gay...

I think it's funny when extremely gay characters aren't really gay at all (Will and Jack, or example)

I'm pretty sure that Will and Jack are gay...

now I understand Eric MCCormack is straight and Sean Hayes is, well, in denial... or limboland... or something like that

I meant the actors were straight. Will's straight, and Jack has a wife and kids. So that makes him straight, right?

(Actually, my boyfriend has two kids from a previous marriage. How strange is that?)

I do not believe that Sean Hayes has a wife and kids

Hmm...then I must be thinking of another Jack from Will and Grace. I watched the episode of Inside the Actors Studio with the cast and creative team and Sean talked about his wife and kids.

But I might've been dreaming.

LOL SueleenGay! Thanks for that picture of Betty Ramsey.
I'm starting to think that Eddie Haskell on "Leave it to Beaver" might have been her ambiguously gay son or younger brother.
