We rarely see Mama go out on dates. Much like some widows, she was married once and probably doesn't want to do it again. In this episode, she is smitten with her teacher played by Joseph Campanella, another widower while Bubba is attracted to this nice girl, Amy. We watch Mama try to get his attention to ask her out on a dance or to the dance with help from Iola and Naomi. Mama Harper is smart but she lacks the confidence and we don't see much action between her and her teacher which is improper. Maybe that's why the episode is quite conservative. I have to say it's not one of my favorite episodes but it's the satisfactory fare of Mama's Family.
