    Best of the series so far

    In the great scheme of things I would have given this a 9 were I voting for a film, but judging by the other votes, I cannot push down in the rankings this episode, so a 10 it must be.

    It was great from beginning to end, and ended on a high note that many episodes don't.

    Just apart from anything else, the actors, sets, costumes and story line are spot on. I'm enjoying this series so much more than I expected.

    TV Time

    Midge sets a toe in the water of the boob tube. Susie gets her a gig on an arthritis/rheumatism telethon. She is given a terrible spot and her archenemy, the awful comedian played by Jane Lynch tries to submarine her. Susie is present at all times and may have made a serious error. But when she hits the stage, doing clean stuff, she is quite astounding. A second plot line has to do with Abe and his tenuous grip on reality. He is filled with anger and it is starting to cause serious damage. Excellent episode.

      When the girls arrive at the TV studio a dance troupe is on doing a dance introduced as "the bop", but the style of dance they are doing wasn't created until 1964 by Bobby Banas when he performed it with others to the tune of the "Nitty Gritty" on the Judy Garland Show.
