HEAD OVER HEELS: "Vice Guy" - 9/16/1997, UPN
Bisexual regular roles were rare on 20th-century TV series. One exception was Ian (Patrick Bristow), who identified as bi and celibate, on HEAD OVER HEELS: a UPN sitcom set in the offices of a dating service in Miami.
It featured talented actors trying to make the most of scripts that were often dreadful. Some critics called it the worst new sitcom of the fall 1997 season.
Bristow previously had a recurring role on Ellen DeGeneres's 1990s sitcom ELLEN, playing Ellen Morgan's gay friend Peter on seasons 2 to 5.
