  • December 1, 1983

Mama's Family season 2 episode 8 is titled Aunt Gert Rides Again. In this episode, we see Mama's sister, Aunt Gert, come to visit the family. Aunt Gert is known to be quite a character and always seems to stir up trouble wherever she goes. Mama is not exactly thrilled to have her sister around, but decides to make the best of it.

At first, Aunt Gert seems to be getting along well with the rest of the family. She charms everyone with her colorful stories and infectious laugh. However, things quickly take a turn for the worse when Aunt Gert takes an interest in Naomi's pet project, a bicycle shop that she's been trying to get off the ground. Aunt Gert is a well-known cheapskate and starts trying to cut corners in order to save money, much to Naomi's chagrin.

Meanwhile, Mama is dealing with her own set of problems. She's been having some trouble with her hearing and is afraid that she might need to get a hearing aid. She's also struggling with the fact that she's getting older and can't do all the things she used to do. Aunt Gert's arrival only seems to exacerbate Mama's fears about aging.

As the episode progresses, tensions rise between Aunt Gert and the rest of the family. She continues to try to cut corners with Naomi's business, much to Mama's chagrin. And when Aunt Gert starts taking over Mama's kitchen, things really start to come to a head. Mama is not one to back down from a fight, and she and Aunt Gert inevitably end up getting into a big argument.

Despite the family's best efforts to keep the peace, things continue to deteriorate. Uncle Bubba tries to intervene and smooth things over, but he only seems to make matters worse. Eventually, everyone ends up in a big shouting match, with Aunt Gert at the center of it all.

In the end, things are resolved (sort of). Aunt Gert decides to leave town and go back home, but not before she manages to leave a lasting impression on everyone. Although the family is glad to see her go, they also realize that they will miss her in their own way.

Overall, Aunt Gert Rides Again is a classic episode of Mama's Family that showcases the show's trademark humor and wit. It's a great example of how the show was able to balance comedy with more serious themes, such as aging and family relationships. The performances are all top-notch, with Vicki Lawrence (who plays Mama) particularly standing out in her scenes with Aunt Gert. All in all, it's a must-watch for fans of the show.
