i saw this at the museum of radio and television ( do not think it available on dvd ) . i have first see it a what now call a questioning young man in 1972 ( the son character be 14 and i be 13 at the time ) and remember it be very important to me a the first sensitive and non judgmental portrayal of gay men on television . i particularly remember the poise of a very young martin sheen . view it again after 35 year it be almost a affecting and with wonderful acting by a very strong ensemble cast and with hope lange a stand out a the mother or ex wife . i enjoy the early 70 touch ( shag carpeting in the bathroom and 8 track cassette ) but realize that despite so many advance in gay right over the year it could almost be re make today and still make sense . cross your finger that this someday be available on dvd .
