Mama as Mayor!
8 August 2008 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

The second part has Mama Thelma Harper as Mayor of Raytown with a hysterical inauguration ceremony. Ellen is still with Tutwiller while her family stands firmly behind her. Of course, Mama hasn't read up on all the paperwork regarding bills, laws, and politics that go on. She attends her first meeting with the city council unprepared and lost regarding rules. Of course, her secretary is played by Marian Mercer and has been around for years tries to help her. Things get ugly when Mama doesn't reform to the ways of politics. The bus drivers go on strike, the garbage men are on strike, and everybody else in the city is upset and angry with Mama Harper as Mayor in two weeks. Ellen realizes that her mother is in trouble and does her best to get her out of it.
