Mama gets swindled!
Sylviastel8 August 2008
When Mama wants a car, she goes after it with her mad money of about $1,000 saved up. She decides to go to a used car dealer played brilliantly by Fred Williard as Willy, the dealer was also a childhood friend of Vint's. He shows Mama, Vint, and Naomi around his used car lot referring his cars as his wayward children. Mama is definite that she wants a natural blue car since a relative had a blue car for years. When she gets the car, she decides to take Aunt Fran, Naomi, Vint, Buzz and Sonja for a ride but it never gets there. She bought a lemon and now wants her money back from Willy the Weasel. After she baked homemade oatmeal raisin cookies which Willy gobbled up so fast, Mama goes back for her money and she's not taking no for an answer.

Spotty,uneven episode
richardskranium8 June 2019
The idea of Mama buying a car, and learning to drive should be a slam-dunk of a comedy,with endless angles,right ? I would surely think so. But I watched it,and thought it was a half-hearted,lukewarm episode that only seemed to drag along. It has it's moments,but surely could have been better. See what you think.
