Yeah, this whole “oh, I’m going to be coy” and throw around knowing something other people don’t know is just annoying. Either, don’t talk about it or do. But dancing around it just makes it even more of a big deal.

A question for those better versed in the fur era than I am... Are there really that many specific episodes where furs were offered? That era was mostly before my time, & I didn’t have GSN at home until the mid ‘00s so I missed its run there. But there don’t seem to be more than a handful of pre-‘82 episodes on YouTube specifically with fur prizes. I get why they’re withholding fur eps, but I’m wondering if they could reasonably run the other eps from those seasons—where Bob perhaps seemed a bit less condescending & chauvinistic—without missing more than a handful of shows. (And did GSN even run any fur episodes? I know they ran eps from those seasons, but Bob was already known as a pretty staunch animal rights supporter by then.)
About Bob’s condescension & chauvinism, a little armchair psychology... It’s not uncommon, when a long-married spouse dies, for it to mess with the surviving partner’s head. My belief is that this is what happened to Bob when Dorothy Jo died. He probably dove into his work to deal with his grief, which led to his promotion, but the failure to deal with his grief properly probably caused him to act out in some of the ways he did, both in front of the camera & behind the scenes. That in no way excuses his behavior, though. (I’m in no way a psychiatric or counseling professional, so take my opinion for what it’s worth.)
Also, I don’t think I’d heard the story about Roddy. (Wow, this thread has taken some bizarre twists & turns. What was the deal with this show?) As far as we know, though, Johnny O. was an upstanding guy, wasn’t he?

There were a lot of furs offered in the pre-1982 era... perhaps featuring in as many as half of the episodes produced. It would require quite a bit of pre-screening to eliminate those (unless somehow there was already a list of non-fur shows somewhere). It's been said that that is the main reason GSN wasn't able to include TPIR on their schedule at launch, instead waiting about two years to start showing it.
GSN only ran a couple of shows with furs, and it seemed those were by accident.

In short, it was said that Rod was going to Thailand regularly to have sex with transgenders and underage boys.
Felt the need to put it in spolier space for those who'd rather not know.
