I loved Mama's Family when it remembers the past. In this episode, Mama wants to clean the attic. Since everybody has an excuse but Buzz, he assists and asks her about her thirtieth birthday party. Mama remembers being younger and with three kids, Ellen, Eunice, and Vint. The kids who play younger versions of them are wonderful. First, Thelma is excited because if her husband Carl gets a promotion then she could get a freezer of her dreams. With more money, they could spend more. Of course, Thelma gets no encouragement from her mother who is also played by Vicki Lawrence who calls to inform her that she can't make the cake or come to her party. Grandma Crowley says it as she opens a can of beer and criticizes her daughter for being a terrible cook and her son-in-law as a loser. The party is not going so well when she has to use a fruitcake to substitute for a cake and Carl doesn't get the promotion.
