TODAY IN QUEER TV HISTORY THE JEFFERSONS: "Once a Friend" - 10/1/1977, CBS The first attempt at a "serious" trans story on a U.S. network sitcom. George's old Navy buddy is in town and George doesn't deal well with his friend's transition, though they reconcile by the end of the episode. Like so many pioneering LGBTQ episodes of 1970s sitcoms, this was on a series coproduced by Norman Lear. Edie is played by Veronica Redd, who TV viewers probably remember best for her 1990-2004 run as Mamie John
