\\u201cIt May Look Like a Walnut\\u201d (February 6, 1963)

It\\u2019s not the first \\u201cweird\\u201d episode that a sitcom ever did, but it\\u2019s probably the most famous: the second-season installment of The Dick Van Dyke Show where it departed from the usual formula and became a sci-fi B-movie. It turns out to be a dream, of course, but you actually aren\\u2019t sure until the final moments, and it\\u2019s still one of the stranger sequences you\\u2019ll ever see on a mainstream sitcom.

This episode is not all that gay but it is the first of two pitches for our next Patreon-exclusive show. Should we do a whole ten-episode season of the weirdest episodes ever? We will be putting it up to vote after next week\\u2019s episode, the other choice, is live.
