Is this episode included in the DVD collection?

I hope they do.I'm not sure if it was here.Someone said the reason it is not shown on TBS is the master copy was destroyed.:( Hopefully the original is stiil around.:)

I emailed TBS awhile back about why they didn't air this episode and the person that emailed back told me there was no such episode. (What an idiot)

my set DOES have the gert rides again episode

BUT it was hard to find
they do NOT show it in syndication and yes i heard the master was destroyed somehow

BUT i got it!

That's good to know! I would not want to buy the set if any episode was missing!

This particular controversy was covered on this previous thread. (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=158052)

my episode of it is OLDER maybe even first airing copy
so its possible that although i have it taped off tv
the master MIGHT be lost forever and ONLY 2nd generation tapes might exist

No, TBS just destroyed it because they are lazy and clueless. :p I'm sure Warner Brothers has a copy.

No, that's Aunt Effie in a syndicated episode (Bubba/Iola). Aunt Gert is the one in a nursing home whom Mama goes to visit for her birthday in an NBC episode (Aunt Fran).

oh ok i got confused we need a Mamas family marathon to sord out this mess or Mamas.family on dvd be more enjoyable this is so confusing

think i remember it now pretty sure late imoginia coca played cousin Gert guess il watch out for it on tbs if it happens see for myself.

Yes, you are right. It was Imogene Coca who played Cousin Gert. She grew up with Thelma and took up for her in first grade. Thelma was picked on and called Watermelon bottom. Gert also slipped a frog in Fran's dress when she was Queen of the May.

At the nursing home, Gert's boyfriend was played by Jack Gilford who later played Sophia's husband on the Golden Girls. His joke was that he and Gert had a May/December romance. They may sometime in December.

Thelma got the people at the nursing home to have fun.

I think Mama and Gert sang Ain't Misbehavin'

Sid Melton played Sophia's husband on the Golden Girls, didn't he?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean the one that played Sal. I mean the episodes where Sophia got married to Max Wienstock.

Jack Gifford also played Archie Bunker jewish friend i forget his name but he died on his couch

i barely remember this episode because the last time i saw is when it originally aired:(
but i think i remember a funny scene where mama and Gert are playing a lame version of Cake Walk:confused: at the rest home where Gert was living in

Yeah, it was funny.

They played Musical Chairs but didn't take away one of the chairs.
