Ned & Stacey Is Secretly the Prequel to Will & Grace

“The Gay Caballeros” (February 19, 1996)

Full disclosure: We didn’t come here to say nice things about Debra Messing. What we will say is that she’s forever trapped in sitcom mode, to the point that the laffer that preceded the gay one has her essentially playing an identical character. What’s more? Ned, who is supposedly straight, really reads like a gay character. For these reasons and more, this explicitly gay episode gives this podcast a lot to discuss.
