Stayed at Disney Plus for Sailor Moon Crystal as I got ready for work. "Moon" encompasses the episode where a hologram of Queen Serenity explains about the Silver Millennium and how it was destroyed. Though most of the episode is pretty similar to the original version, it diverges significantly at the end. The Guardians fight the Four Dark Knights (all of whom are still alive), and though they don't sway them to their side, they don't kill them, either. It does end the same, though, with evil Queen Beryl brainwashing Tuxedo Mask...
Headed off to work after the show ended. Thanks to it being the beginning of a holiday-heavy month, we were crazy all day. I spent most of the time sweeping and pushing carts. One of the managers did help me with the carts at one point, but I was largely alone. Had a hard time keeping up with them. I was still having a hard time when I finally finished. Grabbed a vanilla-glazed donut too, since they're doing free donuts this weekend.
When I got home, I put on Charlie's Angels while I got organized. The girls are recruited to keep an eye on a bodybuilder who is competing for the title of "Mr. Galaxy," but has been plagued by suspicious accidents. There's a long list of suspects who would want him out of the competition, from the gangster he used to box for to the man who has won Mr. Galaxy six years running and has gambling debts to deal with. Julie and Bosley join the country club where his competition works, while Kris trains with him and Kelly snoops around as a reporter for a health magazine.
Finished the night on YouTube with today's Match Game Saturday Classics marathon. Match Game has always been popular with the LGBTQ community, thanks to its many gay panelists and references to sexuality. Some early episodes tossed out a few references that weren't so pleasant. Dick Gautier and Brett Somers give now-offensive answers in two 1973 episodes that have those two shows banned from the airwaves. Likewise, Dear Abby's answer is the reason her PM episode can't be found anywhere but YouTube. Elaine Joyce and Bobby Van use similar language in reference to a question about what Batman and Robin do together.
Other references have dated far better. Many episodes bash anti-gay country singer and star of orange juice commercials Anita Bryant, especially ones where Charles Nelson Reilly was involved. Goes without saying that he wasn't a fan of questions involving her. Other gay panelists who turned up on the show included Richard Deacon, Fannie Flagg, Nancy Kulp, Tab Hunter, and Wesley Eure.
Have a "gay ol' time" with some of the most famous LGBTQ panelists in the show's history...and some of its most infamous moments.
