Who was the 1st ts/tv character you saw on prime time tv?

[JohnnyWalkerBlackLabel]

LOL @ the 1st ts/tv ON tv

anyway

my 1st view of a transgendered woman was on a popular sitcom called Night Court years ago where one of the lawyer's old friends called him saying they were in town then showed up as a woman.

what was yours?

[TomSelis]

On tele? I think it was an episode of Dharma and Greg. The episode where he moves out and something happens with a transexual. She tells him to go back to Dharma.

[AlySinclair]

I think it was Bosom Buddies ( Tom Hanks and the other guy )

I think that counts, right?

[GroobySteven]

Bea Arthur on the Golden Girls.

[mistab]

"All In The Family"- Archie Bunker gives CPR to a transgendered individual and later finds out the "she was no lady."

[steviedresses]

What was Flip Wilson's drag queen name... I remember seeing that when I was little and thinking "That looks like fun..." next thing I new I was wearing my sister's panties...

Does this date me?

[Willie Escalade]

I think it was Bosom Buddies ( Tom Hanks and the other guy )

It should, 'cause that's what I'm saying as well. I watched that show for Donna Dixon as well!

Seanchai, that's just wrong! :lol:

[justatransgirl]

Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie."

Does that count? Other than that - the girl who played the transwoman in "TransAmerica..."

I'm not a big TV / movie watcher sorry.

Giggle,
TS Jamie :-)

[Nautica]

Does Ms. RuPaul count? She does have a song called "She's A Lady". And, wasn't she on In The House With L.L.Cool J. for an episode?

I don't think it was Hanging With Mr.Cooper...

Oh well.

Lol,

Nautica=^.^=

[KiraHarden]

The Jeffersons George's old army buddy came to visit and was now a TS

It's RuPaul for me too... probably was the genesis of my attraction.

[lpell]

richie and potsie dressed as girls

[ed_jaxon]

Undoubtedly Flip Wilson as Geraldine

[eggbert]

Bea Arthur on the Golden Girls.

Seanchi, I lost a mouthful of my lunch just now laughing so hard.

[eggbert]

Not my first, but Chandlers' dad on Friends was ts/tv

[BeardedOne]

I forgot about Divine's appearance on All In The Family.

Anyone remember the football player in First And Ten that fell for the TS?

"Who's this in the picture? Your brother?"

"No, that's me."

[Falrune]

If not Geraldine, than a TV airing of Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot

[JohnnyWalkerBlackLabel]

OMFG I just taped Some like it hot on Tivo, I forgot about Bosom Buddies, and I completely forgot about Archie Bunker

[mbf]

In one episode of Married with Children Al has some sort of reunion of his highschool football team (if I remember correctly) and one of the guys became a chick.

Then I remember a late night TV orgy where they were showing John Water´s Pink Flamingo, who had a tranny in it as well.

[ed_jaxon]

No one is old enough to say "Uncle Miltie"?

[BeardedOne]

No one is old enough to say "Uncle Miltie"?

I'm not quite old enough, but I can say "Uncle Miltie". :D

Berle was the best.

[Tomfurbs]

The TV hooker in 'Midnight Cowboy'. She was uncredited in the movie, which is a travesty, as she gets two important scenes.


TV Hooker: 'Hey cowboy! Gotta cigarette?'

Joe Buck: 'Why yes'm...'

Ratso Ricco (snatching said smokable from Joe's outstretched hands): 'So many goddamn faggots in this town!'

Joe Buck: 'Boy, you really know the ropes!'

TV Hooker: 'Oh kiss my ass Ratso!'

[mikelpo]

Jerry Springer! - where else?

[lpell]

Transvestite in Freebie and the bean . "Come on in and I ain't no LADY

[drew84]

This right here Boy Meets Girl, Chick like me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9-xP6HQpog

[Willie Escalade]

That was Divine.
Eating shit comes to mind... :oops:

I still watch "Hairspray" when it comes on TV.

I even remember Donahue doing a show with TVs on it...hell Phil himself had on a skirt. :shock:

no, it wasn´t Divine.

I am referring to that scene in the park, where one of the guys from the "other" gross family was indulging in some voyeuristic behaviour and checling out a chick from a distance, when all of a sudden she lifted her skirt and there was a cock instead of a pussy.

[KiraHarden]

The movie Rock Star with Mark Wahlberg, and Jennifer Aniston has a groupie/friend in his band

[SkyTwo]

I think it was Bosom Buddies ( Tom Hanks and the other guy )

I think that counts, right?

Good call. I was going to say Milton Berle, but that was waaaaaaay before my time. Instead, it was probably Tom Hanks. And look at him now.

[FREEFALLL666]

First one/s I remember are, Transformers Megatron sorry Hugo Weaving... Pricsilla Queen Of The Desert.

Section8-Bait Maxwell Q Klinger M*A*S*H*

Fuck Me Hard, sorry Dill, Jaye Davidson The Crying Game.

Who can forget the True Life savior of a business?
KINKY BOOTS!

They are mine in order of first to last I saw BUT using WIKI I found out an Interesting thing!

Film and video

[edit] As a central plot element
Movies that feature cross-dressing as a central plot element:

I Don't Want to be a Man (Ich möchte kein Mann sein) (1920)
Sylvia Scarlett (1935) - Katharine Hepburn dresses as a boy for most of the movie, this is her first movie with Cary Grant.

[steviedresses]

Undoubtedly Flip Wilson as Geraldine

Damn! I'm not the only old guy on this board! Luv Geraldine!!!

[NYTSJulie]

Caroline Cossey aka Tula on Phil Donahue

[Baron Of Hell]

Don't know her name but one of the girls in the music video "Simply irresistible" was a TS. I think that was name of the song. All the girls were wearing the same black dress and had same basic look.

[MerriCait]

klinger in mash lol

then probably patrick swazye, wesley snipes and thingy in to wong fu lol

[Barnabis78]

Bea Arthur on the Golden Girls.

Thanks Seanchai, now I need a new keyboard due to spitting my coffee all over it.

[kimjongil]

I would probably say that Flip Wilson was the first for me followed by Jamie Farr and the Drag Queen on 'All in the Family'.

For what it's worth, that was not Divine in 'All in the Family'. The DQ went by the name of Lori Shannon.

[TsVanessa69]

I think it was Bosom Buddies ( Tom Hanks and the other guy )

I think that counts, right?
OMG I was a kid when that show was on. I loved it and my mother changed the channel every time she saw me watching.
I loved the carol Burnett show when the guys would be in drag!!!!!

[aprilian]

Lisa Edelstiein played a TS on Allie McBeal. It was a very good story arc,lasted 4-5 episodes. The new young stud actually fell in love with her. Very funny outing scene. They were at the club dancing. a slow song comes on, she pulls him close and whispers something like " Theres something I've been need to talk with you about:
Sound of SCHWING!

[davidperchance]

The black lady on The View

[Nikka]

I don´t remember
