Today it’s known worldwide as a beloved TV classic. But originally, it wasn’t even supposed to be a real show.
Proposed as a joke at NBC, the concept was meant to be a parody of a sitcom, a premise too ridiculous to ever succeed… until one executive saw the potential, and assembled a dream team to pull it off — including a daring producer who had a history of pushing the envelope.
So how did a show about four retirees that was never supposed to get made wind up becoming a worldwide hit? And what makes it particularly important to gay men?
