Carol Burnett delivers her best performance as the miserable Eunice Harper Higgins in this episode. When her nephew Buzz comes in with news and help about the power of positive thinking in an audiotape, Eunice reluctantly buys a tape player and listens to it. Believing in the tape's message, she manages to get a small part in the local play. Eunice has never been happier nor has Mama ever been suspicious about her daughter's change even though it's far more positive. When Mama attends the rehearsal with Eunice, she sees that her daughter is getting stepped on by an over-possessive actress Sally played by Gloria DeHaven. There is a scene that is unforgettable in the Pepperpot Playhouse that I won't get into. We do see a bit of Ed Higgins played by the late Harvey Korman.
