Mama's Family season 1 episode 6, titled "Obscene Call," is a hilarious and entertaining addition to this classic sitcom. Set in the late 1980s in the small southern town of Raytown, the show follows the misadventures of the dysfunctional and opinionated Harper family, headed by the feisty and indomitable matriarch, Thelma "Mama" Harper.

In this episode, Mama and her family are plagued by a mysterious caller who keeps making obscene and disturbing phone calls to their house. The caller's identity is unknown, and the family is understandably upset and anxious about the situation. As they try to figure out who is behind the calls, they also have to deal with their own quirks and conflicts that come to the fore during this crisis.

The episode kicks off with Mama receiving another of the offensive phone calls. She is outraged and decides to take matters into her own hands by tracking down the caller herself. She enlists the help of her dim-witted son Vinton and his equally clueless wife Naomi to find the culprit. Meanwhile, Mama's other daughter, the sardonic Fran, is dealing with her own personal problems, including a rocky relationship with her boyfriend, Jeff.

As the episode progresses, the tension in the house mounts as the calls become more frequent and disturbing. Mama becomes obsessed with solving the mystery, even resorting to using a police scanner to monitor the local law enforcement's activities. Vinton and Naomi, however, are more interested in a new business opportunity that they believe could make them rich.

Despite their various distractions, the family eventually manages to track down the caller, but not before some hilarious mishaps and misunderstandings. Along the way, they expand their own understanding of each other and learn to work together as a team. By the end of the episode, the family emerges stronger and more united, even as they grapple with the challenges of living in a small town in the South.

Overall, "Obscene Call" is a classic episode of Mama's Family that showcases the show's unique blend of slapstick humor, sarcastic wit, and quirky characters. It captures the spirit of a bygone era while remaining relevant and entertaining to audiences today. Fans of the show will appreciate the episode's humor and heart, while newcomers will be drawn in by the show's charm and nostalgia. All in all, it's a must-see for anyone who loves classic sitcoms and good old-fashioned family fun.
