Benson's breakdancing episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The Alice had a breakdancing episode? thread made me think of other 1980s sitcoms which had breakdancing in them. I know Silver Spoons, Gimme a Break! and Diff'rent Strokes had breakdancing scenes.

I did a seach on Wikipedia for breakdancing episodes and came across a Benson description.

Benson - "Take This Job and Love It" (S6 E15) - Benson takes on a mayor who plans to outlaw breakdancing in public places.

These are some other descriptions.

Benson finds out a mayor wants to have break-dancing declared illegal. Benson decides to talk to the mayor to prevent it. He finds it is a difficult task.

Benson gets caught up in a sea of red tape when the mayor plans to outlaw breakdancing.

Does the episode feature breakdancing scenes or was it just a subplot?

This one definitely sounds like a riff on Footloose.

Not a lot of quick action in here. I guess people would prefer to watch Mel breakdance rather then Miss Kraus.
