Sewers of Paris: Behind the Scenes with Betty White (Ep 373 - The Golden Girls/Jim Colucci)
🕑 Added 2022-02-10 17:00:06 +0000 UTCMy guest this week on The Sewers of Paris is Jim Colucci, author of numerous books about the behind-the-scenes stories of the making of classic TV shows. In his work he’s had opportunities to interview greats like Norman Lear, Betty White, and Bea Arthur — but the REALLY good stories are about what happened after the interviews were over.

what a great interview. Jim really captures what life was like in the 80s and 90s for me, gay in the closet in Canada. Some of those shows really had a big impact for closeted gay people - for me it was Billy C on Soap, Steven on Dynasty, the movie Making Love (uuuk!), All In the Family are some of the early ones.

"Doing time on maple drive" was so pivotal for me! And an unknown Jim Carrey in a dramatic role!

BTW I do remember alot of these movies and shows growing up in this time frame. But both being in the south, black and living on a farm they didn't have the same effect on me. Also I was way more into si fi and comics 1930 movies, 1950 monster movies and horror TV shows. But I did like 60's and 70's comedy shows, also western. But that's mostly because my mother and father liked them.

Jim, your interview with Frank Santopadre and Gilbert was just wonderful, and I was excited to see this Sewers of Paris episode posted. Thanks and keep up the great work, Matt!
