An unconventional free spirit arrives out of nowhere, talks his/her way into a job as a maid, nanny, butler, or housekeeper for a dysfunctional family, and ends up being "just exactly what the doctor prescribed." It was the premise of a dozen sitcoms, beginning with Hazel and Nanny and the Professo in the 1960s, and going through from Charles in Charge to The Nanny to Andy the Manny on Modern Family
Mr. Belvedere (1985-1990) had the sophisticated, gay-coded British butler (Christopher Hewitt) intruding upon the household of macho, somewhat homophobic sports writer George Owens (Bob Uecker). Many episodes involved the journey of the mistrustful odd couple toward mutual respect and eventually friendship. Unfortunately, there were no actual gay characters, nor even a "college friend coming out" episode, though they did deal with juvenile AIDS, gender transgressions (George's young son Wesley studies ballet), and a boy who was "confused."
Christopher Hewitt, who was gay in real life, died in 2001. Rob Stone is involved in many directing and producing projects, specializing in documentaries.
Update: I looked for contemporary beefcake photos of Brice Beckham and Rob Stone, and came up with nothing. But here are some other teen idols who grew up, bulked up, and showed us their d*cks:
