I think Ted Danson was on "Cheers" He played the owner/bartender. And another one but he wasn't on WKRP.
Worst part of the so called gay character story lines is the protest by the gay activists over story lines that may actually fit the story. A very long time ago one of the cop shows dared to have a gay serial killer that targeted gays. Oh no couldn't have that it is presenting a gay character in an unflattering light. The serial killer should have been a gay phobic nut case. No matter the fact that the show also featured story lines of serial killers that were white right wing neo-nazi hate mongers. Same also applies to how black characters on shows with a majority of white cast members. Can't have the black be a murderer, or a janitor, or portraying any other menial job holder according to them. But let a show like "Good Times" be broadcast and suddenly most of the characters are buffoons except for the mother and or the father. Oh yeah in the show, Good Times the mother was a maid and the father was either a bus driver of a janitor. It was actually a spin off of the "The Jeffersons."
