In 1981, Tony Randall stars in the sitcom “Love, Sidney,” as a middle-aged man helping a single mother raise her child. While the characterʹs homosexuality was hinted at in “Sidney Shore,” threatened boycotts from the likes of Jerry Falwell and Douglas Wildmon prevent the show from dealing with the topic even once. Even after the show is finally pulled in 1983, most involved refuse to “out” Sidney.
