"Labels" (October 1, 1996) It's the tale of two sitcom episodes. Depending on who you are, this is either an episode about Moesha meeting a gay teen who's scared to come out, or it's an episode about the dangers of gossip. Maybe it's both. We are joined once again by Dr. Alfred L. Martin Jr. to discuss the importance of Moesha, why this episode of TV is utterly unique and who the cutest boy at Crenshaw High School is. (Spoiler: It's Omar.) Listen to our previous outing with Alfred, about Roc's gay wedding episode. Read more about Alfred's work on his faculty page. Also read his essay about Omar for Flow.
