This episode is yet another good example of how the star overcomes the tripe she's given to work with.
Bette pulls out all the stops to entertain her fans, but those around her all seem to be hiding daggers under their costumes (or pens). It's just a matter of who will attack first... Et Tu Brute?
Even as the lights have dimmed greatly on what could have been a great tv series, it's only Midler herself that brings back the viewers.
Even the stoic unfunniness that is Brett Butler is a far cry above the other regular cast members.
Midler's "I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can" performance is endearing yet sad at the same time as anyone can see that she's being plagued by everyone and everything around her.
