NEW YORK — The number of gay and bisexual characters on scripted broadcast network TV is at its highest-ever level in the season ahead, according to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. The total on cable television is also going up.

ABC has the highest amount with 10 out of 194, or 5.2 percent, of their regular characters identified as LGBT.

It’s sad that Brady Bunch and Andy Griffin were once standard fare

Even the Andy Griffith Show was good viewing.

Although Andy and Opie were/are big libs in real life.
