They Are Our Dancing Queens ****

The show has been getting better and this episode was really hilarious. Why the girls went to a gay bar is beyond me. Elka, dressed in a leopard-like suit, is very funny here. Bette White seems to be getting better as the series goes on.

The scene in the urinal is outrageous. Victoria being taken for a cross-dresser was beyond belief in being so funny.

Doris Roberts appears as the owner of the bar; a former friend of Elka's, she has a real deep dark secret to hid which is revealed by the end of the show. Elka is devastated to learn this, but shows her mettle by not divulging it to Roberts's son.
