“Lissen you homophobe! The term is gay…gay!”
This is easily one of the funniest episodes in the TV comedy series JUST SHOOT ME.
What was this show about? Here’s a capsule description:
Hot-tempered journalist Maya Gallo got herself fired from yet another job when she made an anchorwoman cry on the air with some gag copy on the teleprompter. Unable to find a job anywhere else and facing eviction, she is forced to go work for Blush, her father’s fashion magazine. Personality conflicts quickly ensue with high-strung ex-model Nina van Horn, philandering photographer Elliot, and wise-guy secretary Dennis Finch.
