...John Goodman - which echoes that show's discordant small-town setting, if not nearly as well. Creators Bonnie and Terry Turner ("That '70s Show") conceived it as a buddy comedy between a gay and a straight man ("The Odd Couple" without the subtext) but retooled it; now the gay Butch (Goodman) returns to his small town to reconcile with his unaccepting parents and his grown son. Terry Turner says the creators wanted to base the show on a universal - "Family is one of those things everyone knows" - rather than on gay jokes. (Right. We counted a dozen, six minutes into...
When Woods phoned his coach, Butch Harmon, after the 1997 Masters and told him he wanted to rebuild his swing, Harmon was confident his star pupil could pull it off.

Redgrave deftly sketches the quiet hell of a woman unable to share her grief for her "friend" with the unwitting in-laws. A butch townie (Chloe Sevigny of Boys Don't Cry) in "1972" rattles her college-student lover's gay-feminist pals, for whom short hair means gender treachery, but the daring setup devolves into a pat Afterschool Special for lesbians...
