I'm doing a research project on various rural TV shows and I was looking for some input. I have a list of some favorite episodes culled from fan sites and interviews and I need to find the funniest and/or most compelling scenes from these episodes and the appeal of these scenes to fans. Also, I may have missed some great episodes in my research, so if you notice a glaring omission, please include the same info. My project and I thank you.

Episodes:
The Wedding parts 1 & 2 (#3 & 4)
An Ill Wind (#43)
The Really Loud Family (#89)

hmmm....well, The Wedding pts 1 and 2 are definitely among my favorites, though I'm not sure I could name any specific scene. I guess probaly one of the last scenes, during the wedding when Eunice starts to sing and just completely loses it and starts yelling at everybody, because it's classic Mama's Family, and for that matter, classic Carol Burnett Show. One episode that I've always considered to be my absolute favorite is the season one episode "Cellmates" which finds Mama and Eunice spending a few hours in a prison cell with a prostitute. My favorite scene in that episode and one that always stands out in my mind as one of the best scenes of the series is the very final scene, when Mama and Eunice each admit to being bad mother/daughter respectively. They have such a touching moment when they truly open up to each other, and a moment later they are arguing again, because that is the nature of their relationship. It's just a really, really good episode and the actual jail scenes are really good as well. Not sure if this helps any but there ya go....
