Hi Honey, I'm Homo is such a fascinating and engaging queer-lensed jaunt through the history of sitcoms. I never realized the relationship between sitcoms and public acceptance of queerness was so symbiotic, but it makes a lot of sense. I especially enjoyed hearing about earlier sitcoms, like Bewitched, whose relationship to queerness had to be veiled. And the direct quotes from actors, writers, producers, S&P members, and the episodes themselves really enriched the text. As an audiobook-specific review, I will also add that Baume has a great voice and clearly knows his stuff. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to read up on queer and/or television history.
