Synopsis
Dan has a real problem when his high school buddy comes to visit as a decidedly "changed man", loosely speaking, as in a sex change!
Storyline
Dan looks forward to a reunion with his old college buddy, but is shocked to find that he has undergone a transsexual operation.
Plot Summary
Macho man Dan (John Larroquette) looks forward to a reunion with his old college buddy Chip--and especially to the prospect of joining Chip in an old-fashioned "girl hunt." Though the original TV Guide listing for this episode did not indicate the reason that Dan was sorely disappointed when Chick arrived, the fact that the character was played by famed female impersonator Jim Bailey) rather gave the game away. And in case any further hints are needed, be it noted that Chip now prefers to be called Charlene.
