Remembering the Time that Joan & Barri from "Campus Ladies" Went Gay for a Day!

There was this great sitcom called "Campus Ladies" that aired on Oxygen back in 2006 and 2007 starring Christen Sussin and Carrie Aizley. Sussin and Aizley starred as a pair of fortysomething ladies named Barri Martin and Joan Beamin who find themselves enrolling in college and trying to fit in with their much younger classmates. Most of the program is unscripted and improvised -- with humorous results!

For some reason, I began reminiscing about the program over the weekend and then lost myself in a series of reruns on YouTube.

One of the episodes that had me rolling on the floor last night was the first season's third episode: "Lesbian Lovers." After an off-hand by their roommate Paige that they're acting gay, Joan and Barri go on a journey of sexual exploration as newly out lesbians. 

They spend the next couple days coming out to their friends and family and looking for the perfect lesbian lovers. They even try pairing off with each other very briefly after deciding that they are perfect for each other! It's not until they meet some lady lovers at the Homo Hop that they realize that they've been completely mistaken and they're totally into guys after all!


Unfortunately, their friends Abdul and Drew decide to rescue their newly out friends by hiring an ex-gay de-programmer -- who actually finds himself programmed from ex-gay back to gay after an evening locked in the closet with our two leading ladies!


It's unfortunate that "Campus Ladies" doesn't appear to be on DVD or any of the major streaming services. It was such good comedy! If you haven't seen it before, check out some of the episodes on YouTube, where some kind soul uploaded several of the episodes. You truly won't regret it!
