Was Uncle Phil gay?

He’s dead, so let’s just say yes. What’s he gonna do, sue us??

The Fresh Bottom of Bel Air

Wasn't he married to a woman?

R3 is right. Shameful speculation!

OP may be confusing him with Reginald VelJohnson who played Carl Winslow on Full House. Never married, no kids.

What's with these TV dads from the 90s being secretly gay in real life?

Not sure about Uncle Phil - but we know about Uncle Carl.

OP may be confusing him with Sherman Hemsley who played George Jefferson on “The Jefferson’s”. Never married, no kids.

R5 It was "Family Matters."

Don’t judge me but fuck I used to get horny over Uncle Phil. He had that old-fashioned habit of pulling your pants up around your thighs before sitting down and it really showed off his bulge/ass. He was real nice and juicy.

I agree with R10. Uncle Phil was attractive

Weren't all the men on that show gay?

Thanks R9. I was raised on TGIF. How embarrassing for me.

I meant to sign as R5 in R13.

I’m going to bed now.

James Avery was indeed gay in real life, and closeted.

Any more gossip?

R12 Was Jeffrey the Butler gay?

Geoffrey, sorry

R17, he's not gay, he's just British.

Uncle Phil (Up My Asshole).

I thought he was always eyeing Hilary's boyfriends!

Blink and you'll miss him as an uncredited young dancer in the Ray's Music Exchange scene ('Shake A Tail Feather') of THE BLUES BROTHERS.

OP may be confusing him with Robert Reed who played Mike Brady on 'The Brady Bunch'. Married once, one kid.

This is super random and at least 25 years ago. Somehow or another I got involved with volunteering at a fundraiser where Uncle Phil was the emcee. I can’t even remember what the event was for, but the B-52s performed and there was a fashion show.

He appeared standoff-ish, but not rude. Not that I approached him, it was just an observation.

Was Uncle Buck gay?

Always thought Joseph Marcell who played the butler on Fresh Prince was gay, turns out he was just British.

You see I have this theory that all Englishmen are gay....

R26 lashings of ginger beer for everyone!

Speaking of black sitcom dads, how about Rondell Sheridan from That’s So Raven? God he was cute! Who’s had him?

Pretty sure we all know answer here.....

R29, Bob Uecker is gay?

R25 Uncle Buck was with Shanice!

Major pussyhound, OP.

Major.

I forgot about Mr Belvedere. Why did the family on that show even have a butler? That house was basic and the mom didn’t even work. They had two nearly grown ass kids to babysit and do chores. Fucking white privilege.

[quote] That house was basic

Bitch!

R33

Maxwell "Max" Beverly Sheffield didn't need a butler for his "basic" UES townhouse, but never the less he had Niles as butler/chauffeur. We saw Niles at times with a feather duster or otherwise supposed to be doing domestic chores, but that house needed cleaners, daily or live in.

Isn’t Waldo Geraldo Faldo gay, too? Also, did Geoffrey the butler ever sit on his balls like Mr. Belvedere?

"You see I have this theory that all Englishmen are gay..."

If only!

The Mr. Belvedere thing reminds me of the pilot for The Golden Girls, when they had the gay cook. Why on earth would anybody ever think these old broads would need (or be able to afford) a damn cook? I’m glad they scrapped that idea.

Coco worked for Blanche when she was on her own as a widow. Once Dorothy and other girls moved in Coco was history.

As you yourself saw his character was no longer needed.

R5, I never knew Carl Winslow was gay!

The "how come he don't want me, man?" scene in THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR really showcased the acting talents of both Avery & Smith, gut-wrenching work. Such a pity that Will turned out to be a smug gross clam.

Uncle Phil was not gay, but the actor who played him may or may not have been gay.

[quote]Thanks [R9]. I was raised on TGIF. How embarrassing for me.

R13, I don’t think Carl Winslow was ever on an episode of Full House but Steve Urkel was, all TGIF shows were in the same TV universe.

[quote]Was Uncle Phil gay?

Yes. That’s why the first Aunt Vivian left.
