Mama Thelma Harper has been accused of being forgetful while Naomi rescues a dog known as Old Lady from the parking lot at Food Circus. Since Mama doesn't care for dogs, Naomi, Vint, Iola, and Bubba pretend that the dog barking doesn't exist. So Mama thinks she's hearing things or going crazy by the sound the dog barking. Unaware of Old Lady's existence, the family now has an answering machine which Iola gave to them. It's funny how they each take turns leaving the message for the recording. The messages about how the Old Lady should be put to sleep or go to a home where she can run around and be sedated have Mama Harper on edge. They think the messages are for her and when food is disappearing from the kitchen table. Mama thinks she's going insane.

A funny premise that for some reason laid an egg. That's the thing about classic sitcom comedy sometimes seemingly funny would be stories bomb when played out. Might be the script needed to be punched up. Got a little better near the end when the phone calls started coming in but not much. The whole ensemble cast seemed to struggle with their lines. The Naomi (Dorothy Lyman) character was totally different than her usually somewhat sleazy, sharp-tongued very funny self. Here more bland, and generic. The highlight was Hamilton Camp (Barbershop Quartet - "The Andy Griffith Show" ) as Dr Purdy. Pretty much a time waster.
