Least Favorite Episode

[Brett Ferino]

What is it and why?

[MARFAR104]

THE ONE WHERE MAMA STARTS UP A DANCE TROUPE. IT IS NOT VERY FUNNY. I LIKE THE SILLY EPISODES BETTER.

My least favorite episode was the one on network - Mama had a date and they went away. It was kind of sad.

There are quite a few Mama’s Family episodes that aren’t my favorite.

“Family Feud”
“Naomi and the Stork”
“Aunt Gert Rides Again”
“Amateur Night”
“Ask Aunt Fran”
“Steal One Pearl Two”
“Grandma USA”
“It Takes Two to Watusi”
“A Big Hand for Mama”
“Mama Sees Red”
“Bed and Breakdown”
“Baby Talk”
“My Mama, Myself”
“Bedtime for Bubba”
“Mama in One”
“There’s No Place Like…No Place”
“Hate Thy Neighbor”
“Bubba House’s Band”
“The Big Nap”

I’m really not fond of the last five I mentioned…and “My Mama, Myself.” All of these are not bad episodes, but perhaps rather weak ones.

You found some pretty "least favorites" there, notably Gramdma USA, Bed and Breakdown, Aunt Gert, and esp. Bubba's House Band.

I always thought Aunt Gert Rides Again was usually regarded as a fan favorite.

I kinda wish Gert had gone on to be a semi-regular on the show... I'd love to see her and Aunt Effie together lol

I too am surprised to see the Aunt Gert episode as a least favorite. Its one of my favorites. I love the way Mama handled the nurse and made that frog ribbit sound

My least favorite is The Big Nap (although this is a favorite among the cast)
And the episode where Mama is alone and dances on the sofa and in the rain

Yeah, that part was pretty funny. It surprised me in the end credits that I think the nurse was also Sgt. Carter's girlfriend in Gomer Pyle (Barbara Stuart) and I didn't recognize her.

The episode has hilarious Mama quotes:

Nurse: Who might this be?
Mama: I might be Elizabeth Taylor

During the Happy Birthday song
Mama: The cake is going to be stale by the time they finish this song

Mama: What are those pills you are giving her
Nurse: They are tranquilizers to calm her down
Mama: If she was any calmer she'd be a doily

I actually changed my mind…I watched “Steal One, Pearl Two” lately and I liked it a lot.
