Remembering things like Work It on ABC and apparently Ask Harriet from 1998, I had Ugliest Girl In Town presented to me, and quite honestly, nothing is there.
The idea the wig makes him look female is lost. Long hair like this on men, as was mentioned (in fact, that was supposed to be how it all began), long hair was common on men.
Second, he doesn't even attempt to dress as a woman. He constantly wears capes, ponchos and various other long robes, or he wears pants??? So how on earth does anyone mistake a man wearing a wig for a woman? it's not there at all.
Third, his name is Timmy and his 'female guise' is 'Timmie' as tho that is the feminine form, which it isn't. But in listening to a TV show, they sound the same, so again, no difference at all.
It's as tho someone wanted to comment on the upcoming long-hair look as being like a woman, but with an American in the guise. But of course, there's no dress, no high heels, no jewelry, no makeup, all the jokes that accompany such an impersonation.
The show is up on youtube. Go look for yourself. It isn't 'quirky' or anything else.
It's badly done and arranged.
At that time, there had been Milton Berle, Some Like It Hot, Max Baer as Jethrine Bodine on Beverly Hillbillies and even the men of Gilligan's Island dressing as women in the final episode.
All showed it takes more than just a wig.
Thumbs down all around to this deservedly so, horribly forgotten show.
