However, at the wedding reception an old man kisses the bride and their souls magically exchange bodies. It takes a while for Baldwin to figure out that his wife's body is housing an old man's brain & personality. Not a gay film, but has a few interesting moments.

Internet ID = caroLm10@aoL.com Hi, folks! This is note #2 (of 2) of the list of tv shows with gay, lesbian, other sexual minority, and gay/straight AIDS themes, for the tv week of Sat 02/26/94-Fri 03/04/94. Be sure to read note #1 also. All times Eastern. *************** CONTINUED FROM NOTE #1 ****************** >> ROSEANNE. Airs Tues. 3/1/94, 9:00 pm, ABC. (Note that ABC is airing 2 Roseannes Tuesday night. This one is going to be the 9:00 show, not the 8:30 show.) This is the episode that's gotten so much publicity lately. TV Guide says: "Roseanne is kissed by Nancy's lesbian lover (played by Mariel Hemingway) in a scene that prompted ABC to consider refusing to air this episode. Controversy aside, the episode is both thoughtful and amusing, and the kiss leads Roseanne to do some soul-searching over matters of trust, with Nancy and with Dan." Later, they write: "Roseanne is the life of the party at a gay bar, until Nancy's girlfriend (Mariel Hemingway) plants a kiss on her." The rest of the episode deals with her reactions to this kiss (which apparently freaks her out a bit), and with her telling husband Dan about it. >> BRAIN SEX. Airs Tues. 3/1/94, 10:00 pm, Discovery cable. The influence of hormones on sexual identity. >> BASIC INSTINCT. Airs Tues-Wed., 3/1-2/94, midnight, The Movie Channel. Incredibly homophobic 1992 film about a murder investigation. The film has four lesbian and bisexual women characters - all of whom are murderers or mass murderers! >> PICKET FENCES. Airs Wed.-Thurs., 3/2-3/94, 12:35 am, CBS. The second network tv this week to focus on a woman-woman kiss. CBS is using this late night slot to rerun the episode in which teen daughter Kimberly kisses a female friend (off-camera), and then questions her own sexuality. Kimberly decides she's straight, the friend decides she's gay, & their parents all freak out a bit. >> JFK (CC). Airs Wed-Thurs., 3/2-3/94, 2:45 am, HBO. Oliver Stone's conspiracy theories about JFK's assassination. Among the numerous suspects he provides are some incredibly stereotyped homosexual men. >> MEDUSA: DARE TO BE TRUTHFUL. Airs Thurs. 3/3/94, 11:30 pm, Showtime cable. Parody of the Madonna Truth or Dare movie, with comedienne Julie Brown playing Madonna. I've never seen this, but folks who have say that it also parodies the gay content of the Truth or Dare movie. >> GREAT PERFORMANCES. Airs Fri. 3/4/94, 9:00 pm, most PBS stations. A tribute to Broadway composer Jerry Herman. The night of performances include George Hearn's version of "I Am What I Am", the powerful song from the gay Tony-winning musical LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. ********************************************************** One final note: A Masterpiece Theater series, TO PLAY THE KING, is still airing in some places. The king's advisor in this series is gay and has a long-term partner, and gay plot themes have been seen in the series. Check your local PBS listings if you're interested in more details. That's it for this week's tv shows. Read note #1 also! Warmly, Carol Mortimer, NJ Prodigy ID = npwc08a In IDs: 0 & 1 are numbers. AmericaOnLineID = caroLm10 o & L are letters.
