Bewitched Unleashes the Gay Scourge That Is Uncle Arthur

Gayest Episode Ever

“The Joker Is a Card” (October 14, 1965)

Nearly two hundred episodes later, we’re finally returning to Bewitched to give Uncle Arthur a proper introduction. And while he’s a big part of Bewitched’s gay fandom, Paul Lynde brings a lot of baggage to the role that taught Americans to laugh at eccentric gay weirdos everywhere.

Watch the new season of Glen's show, Ninjago: Dragons Unleashed!

Listen to Drew discussing 16-bit horror video games on Retronauts.

This episode featured a lot of references to previous episodes, so here are all of those, for your listening pleasure:

• The previous GEE about Bewitched (but honestly this new episode is better)

• Our episode about I Dream of Jeannie

• Our episode about The Addams Family, which deals with similar themes of ethnicity/culture erasure

• The GEE/Monday Afternoon Movie crossover episode about the Paul Lynde Halloween Special

• The Monday Afternoon Movie episode about The Legend of Lizzie Borden, which starred Elizabeth Montgomery and Katherine Helmond

• And finally the Monday Afternoon Movie episode about the Star Wars Holiday Special, with special guest Bruce Villance

Finally, the Hollywood Squares zingers all come from this YouTube compilation.
