The story of a mother who cannot be happy until her daughter is married and she feels her time to leave this Earth is near.
The matter is not helped any when she walks in on her daughter having sex with her boyfriend.
The mother never speaks English. This is best driven home during a mah jong game with other ladies. The mother speaks endlessly with one woman, the other woman in English, mother speaks only Chinese.
I think there was accusations of cheating at the game, then all the English dissipated.
Hands down, it was Uncle Tam who made this thing work and kept the situation from getting too serious.
He just wanted to please. When a special dinner didn't turn out quite like he wanted, he simply put the lid on the pot and forgot about it.
My brother would record this program off ETV years ago, but I suspect his copy is now solid blue. Shame to never get the chance to see this one again.
It was a winner.
