15 years after it first aired, I finally watched this episode. I've never been a fan of the "Jeffersonian" era shows. In my book, Rhoades rules. But I have to admit, "Lez Be Friends" is actually a fun episode. It's not hilarious, and the B-story about the dog is lame, but watching Al befriend Mandy is sort of cute and Al is actually rather nice in this episode. And like Al, I started to get a crush on Mandy, something I've never had for Marcy.
Now that I think of it, here's a bit of trivia: Q: Who are the two gay people that Al has had crushes on? A: Mandy (Marcy's cousin), and Pete (played by Dan Castellanetta) in "The Dance Show" episode. Pete asks Al to help him get his husband back from Peggy's clutches. But when Al finds out that Pete cooks, works, and likes sports (except soccer), Al wants to keep him for himself.
