What are 5 to 10 episodes that truly define the series or must include moments?

[Brett Ferino]

We are in the process of producing the 75th anniversary of NBC. Could you or your fans recomend between 5 to 10 top episodes of Mama's Family that truly define the series or suggest a few "must include" moments. I would also like to know where I could get copies of these shows to screen.
Thank you for your help.

Oh please. Let me tell you. When the bride Naomi promises Eunice she can sing at her wedding and Eunice finds out about Mama giving an heirloom to Vint instead of her, she has too many beers and almost gets into a fight with Naomi. My favorite quote as the drama was starting at the house was:

Mama: Get a grip Eunice or I'll kill you!
Later on....
Eunice:...today is the last straw. Here you go give my Daddy's Sapphire ring to Tinkerbell over there and and HIS RECYCLED BRIDE!

That's what set Naomi off and the two almost got into a physical fight. When Eunice sang "Oh promise me" that was hilarious. It's moments like those that made the shows a hit. The syndicated version was generically
funny to me. I have almost every episode.

The April Fools episode and the one where Mama goes to the hospital for getting hit in the head while making gooseberry jam and Ellen, Unice, and Naomi all tell *their* versions of the events of that day.

That one's called "Rashomama." And, I was just about to suggest that one!

How about the one when Thelma goes to work at the Raytown Travel Agency? That's one of my favorites, but, they are all my favorites!!
