“Oy Vey, You’re Gay” (October 23, 1995)
With her over-the-top outfits and bigger-than-life persona, Fran Drescher has a certain queer appeal. In fact, more than a few little boys probably turned a love of Fran Drescher and Fran Fine into a love of drag. However, the show didn’t necessarily mine its Broadway theater milieu for a ton of gay storylines. In its third season, it did give us Catherine Oxenberg as a potential rival for Mr. Sheffield’s affections, were it not for a plot point that’s given away in the episode title.

Comments
I’m a bit behind in my listening, but I had to pause and comment as soon as I heard you mention Lair of the White Worm. They used to play it in after-hours rotation on Showcase (The ‘secretly gay’ tv station that started up in the mid-90s here in Canada) and I loved it. Pretty much no-one I’ve met has heard of it, let alone watched it, but they definitely should.
