Episodes you just can't stand! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I really really despise, "Tri State's Most Wanted"--I avoid it whenever it plays. I can't hit on why exactly but maybe I just don't like the way Mama is portrayed as too gullible.

I also don't like the episode with Fran's Will is read......it just seems very petty to have the situation and esp that skinflint of a lawyer!

I don't like the one where Mama is a detective.

Jude The Obscure · 04-08-2008, 02:51 PM

You mean, the one where Iola's mother is missing and Mama dreams she is one of those old film noir detectives? I kinda like that one.

I completely agree! That is my least favorite episode ever. I don't know why, but I always turn the channel when its on. It gets on my nerves.

I was going to reply in this thread that there aren't any Mama's Family episodes that I can't stand, but then you reminded me of that one,

and yeah, I can stand it, but I don't like it much.

While it does come closest to one that I can't stand, I would still rather watch it than most other things on tv.

Mama's Silver.

Episode just annoys me, for all I care Claude can go jump in a lake.

the way Mama yells....."CLAUDE CANEMAKER!!"

For the longest time, that episode would end up playing as the first episode in reruns--though it makes no sense, storyline wise with the rest of the season.

I wonder if he was intended to be a supporting character because he was also in the Vint Tries to Marry an Illegal Alien episode, which for some reason ION tends to skip.

Yeah, that one and also the one where Vint marries that foreigner. I like the Iola/Bubba years SO much better!

I like most of the episodes but I don't really like the one were she has to babysit Eugene I don't know I guess he was supposed to be a brat he was just annoying in my opinion.

I agree I like Iola/Bubba years more too no offense to any one who likes the earlier seasons I think they are ok but I think those seasons are funnier.

Thats where I have to disagree with most people here. The earlier ones were just classic. But I am warming up to the Bubba/Iola ones. Lost its camp and theatricality though.

Anyways, the only Mama episodes I dont like at all is when they go to Hawaii. That was just a mistake. The detective one was not great, but I could tolerate it.

Jude The Obscure · 04-11-2008, 12:26 AM

I love the Bubba/Iola years, although Vinton was just a tad too wimpy/sissyfied. Sometimes, I just wanted to smack him and tell him "oh grow a pair!"

In the early episodes, I sometimes felt there were just too many characters at times, but there Vinton was a little more self assured and Naomi was more direct in her sarcastic remarks
