When Robert Reed’s character transitioned on “Medical Center”(1975)

The only thing worse than bad publicity is no publicity.

It wasn't as ridiculous then because it was far more rare. And Reed considered himself a srs actor who wanted to do srs roles.

He received an Emmy nomination for that role.

All the ridicule came from Chad Everet...

That was back in the day when adults were adults and not mentally ill, overgrown adolescents.

Probably because it was about as 180 from "Mike" on The Brady Bunch as anything could be.

He was a highly trained actor and he was quite proud of that. …. He was so upset that “The Brady Bunch” would be a career killer and he would be pigeon holed as Mike Brady - this role was a dynamic showcase for him. ….. And also - he was a sexual exhibitionist. He could be deep in the closet and play this showy role and feel like he was pulling the wool over peoples eyes.

I wish both Mike and Alice had transitioned on a VERY Special Episode of BB.

He played a closeted gay man on hotel. He and his bf were caught coming out of the shower by his wife.

Strontium sulfide?

Supplemental restraint system?

I suppose I'm the side dish in this room.

I worked at the SAG offices in L.A. back then and part of the job was forwarding fan letters that had been misdelivered. This show used to get the most fan letters. I worked alongside this hilarious queen /former Marine who mentioned one day that he was dating Reed and that he was seeing him that night. I believed him but no one else did. Good looking man.

You tell them, R2!

I hated Florence Henderson. Almost as much as I hate Susan Richardson.

Add Kirk Cameron to that list.

He was a brave man, and a great actor.

He loved sucking cock

"What would possess a closeted actor to..."

I dunno.

"Patricia"!

When Reed played a closet case on an episode of Hotel, his boyfriend should have been hotter.

Deidre did some shitty acting in the hotel clip.

srs actor = sex reassignment surgery actor?

r2 Are you srsly too retarded to type 'seriously?' Why shorten only that one word?

R21 Obviously, Queen Dee knew that the role called for her to do some shitty acting, so that even female viewers would ask, "What the hell did he ever see in her?"
