38: Endora Turns Darren Into a Homo

“Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall” (November 7, 1968)

When it came time to pick a Halloween special for Gayest Episode Ever, the only real choice was Bewitched, a seasonally appropriate sitcom that also happens to be one of the gayest things ever broadcast on network television. In this fifth-season outing, Endora curses Darren to become hopelessly vain, and Dick York makes the decision to play his newly narcissistic character as pretty damn gay. Comedian, actor and classic TV superfan Chase McCown joins Glen and Drew to talk through an episode that is very gay — if regrettably Uncle Arthur-free. (There’s always next Halloween!)

Watch Being Frank, that movie Glen wrote, either on DVD or on digital.

This episode’s outro track is Tonight (Crazy Night!) by Dorrine Hollier but also watch this video of her performing it. DO IT NOW!
