View Full Version : Finally..."Gert Rides Again" to air on "i"
According to my TiVo guide, the infamous "lost" episode of Mama's Family called "Gert Rides Again" is scheduled to air on August 29th at 8:30 PM on the "i" network. That's cool, considering TBS has not shown that episode in several years.

Dennis Dubois 08-25-2006, 04:12 PM How many times are you going to say Gert Rides Again? Just say it once.

PZelda 08-26-2006, 06:02 PM Hey, guys, this is the Mama's Family co-moderator speaking.
Dennis and Mike, I am warning you. Cut Aaron some slack, OK? Don't give him any more grief. Leigh Ann (the other co-moderator) and I would both appreciate it if you two would please do so. Thank you.

Aaron, they actually DID air Gert Rides Again on TBS at one point, but that was a LOOOOONG time ago. I have a really crappy copy of that episode on tape from around 1999. Not to mention- my copy is not captioned either, and I would like to have a copy of that episode that is captioned. Then, I can really say I have all 130 episodes on tape. :) So I am guessing TBS has not aired the GRA episode since around 1999/2000.

Well said, Allison
TVJunkie101 08-27-2006, 08:31 AM Finally is right!
I'm with Allison. I last recall Gert Rides Again airing between 1999 and 2001. Hard to pinpoint which. Regardless, it hasn't been shown in at least four/five years, so this is great news. I know it'll end up on DVD, but it's nice to see it air again.
I think I remember that episode.... Was Gert the character in the convelescent (sp????) home, played by Imogene Coca?

Yep, That's our Gertie
Yep, That's our Gertie

Drat, that's what I get for not visiting the forum often. :(
Scoobiedoo30 08-29-2006, 10:45 PM I saw The episode Gert Riders Again it was so Funny
Ireneparalegal 08-29-2006, 11:13 PM Is this the episode where the old folks are playing musical chairs while in their wheelchairs to the theme of CHARIOTS OF FIRE?
Leigh Ann 08-30-2006, 09:48 AM Is this the episode where the old folks are playing musical chairs while in their wheelchairs to the theme of CHARIOTS OF FIRE?
Yep, it is. I watched it last night and I loved it! I've seen it before, but not recently. That musical chairs part is one of my favorite scenes, hehe.
Scoobiedoo30 08-30-2006, 10:20 AM I was glad to see Gert Riders Again and my avorite Part was when they had The Birthday Party
Ireneparalegal 08-30-2006, 10:24 AM Yep, it is. I watched it last night and I loved it! I've seen it before, but not recently. That musical chairs part is one of my favorite scenes, hehe.
OMG, I haven't seen that episode in sooooooo long!!!!! OMG, I was laughing my butt off just like I did the first time I had seen it. OMG, that was a good laugh. The old man in the wheelchair would never lose at musical chairs.:lol:
Penny Lane 08-30-2006, 12:21 PM Darn! I forgot to watch it! I'll have to wait until next time. (if there is a next time):(
gidgetgrape 08-30-2006, 05:04 PM Imogene Coca looked better in this episode with her hair uncombed than she looked on The Brady Bunch all dolled up. Mama has some great lines in this one!
MikeLutton 08-30-2006, 06:51 PM that was a funny episode am was she on before or was this her only apperarance cause it said she rides again so she must appeared before.
Scoobiedoo30 08-30-2006, 07:00 PM I was laughting so Hard when I saw ert Rides Again.
Penny Lane 08-31-2006, 09:38 AM that was a funny episode am was she on before or was this her only apperarance cause it said she rides again so she must appeared before.
Gert only appeared in 1 episode.:)
Myles 08-31-2006, 07:16 PM that was a funny episode am was she on before or was this her only apperarance cause it said she rides again so she must appeared before.
Yeah, Penny Lane, is right, just the one episode.
While I haven't seen the episode I do already know what it entails. Basically Mama helps Gert springs back to her vibrant self, hence she rides again in a manner of speaking.
gidgetgrape 09-01-2006, 01:03 AM that was a funny episode am was she on before or was this her only apperarance cause it said she rides again so she must appeared before.
People use to say that if you fall off a horse you're suppose to get back on it and ride again. That's what I've always thought the title meant. Gertie gave up on life and then she decided to try again.
MikeLutton 09-01-2006, 10:44 AM oh ok cool cause it had same almost title in All in the family titled Beverly rides again when Beverly lasiell returned and helped archie out with pull prank on pinky peterson.so that why im wondering. now i think about it this would made nice spin off of mamas family feautring Gert and her bf out of the nursing home and raising teenage kids of their own noisy neighbors.is gert stil alive
gidgetgrape 09-04-2006, 01:10 AM is gert stil alive
No, Imogene Coca died in 2001.
