\\u201cLandlady\\u201d (October 15, 1984)

Right at the top of its second season, Kate & Allie did the thing so many sitcoms do and put out an episode that explicitly says \\u201cNo, these characters aren\\u2019t gay.\\u201d In this case, CBS had allegedly worried that viewers might suspect Susan St. James and Jane Curtain\\u2019s characters are anything other than platonic friends. On hand to discuss the show\\u2019s lesbian underpinnings is Leah Kopperman, the queer woman of our dreams and the winner of an exhaustive nationwide search for the guest who can offer context for this 80s TV favorite.
