No. Loretta wasn't "stuck with Mama all those years".. it was the other way around. Loretta was a wallflower of a daughter, and she kept herself at home.. that is obvious. And no... Nell didn't have any real obligation to Maybelle.. because to put it simple.. yes, she was jealous of her older daughter. The whole "I'm bored" speech at the end was proof of that.. and even Maybelle didn't expect Nell to take care of her like that.

I like this episode with Nell and her mom Loretta arguing. It was pretty neat at the end. Great Show. Watching it June 3,21. 7:30pm

So when I tried to watch a new show called "Call Me Kat" with that girl from the show "Blossom" Miyam Bialik, I was instantly disappointed wondering what the hell I was watching. But after watching this episode today I was just reminded of how well television producers did such a great job back in the day of creating characters, story lines and of course punch lines. The programming was overall much more entertaining back then and really kept you glued to the set.

I was thinking, It's good to hear Nell's mother laugh, and then Nell said it out loud! This show is too funny for words!

A very well-written, entertaining episode Rosetta LeNoire was a true gem n very well cast....The exchange at 19:60 was brilliant, b/c if ya were able to receive the exchange, it brought the relationship home....At 20:45, when Nell asked her if the reason has been so hostile twd her all these years was because Nell had the courage to pursue her dreams....He mother never said "NO"....She replied "A mother is never jealous of her daughter...EVER"....while she knew it wrong to be Jealous/envious, does not mean she wasn't....Jelousy/envy are byproducts of the ego....n the ego does not live within the rational mind...it's feeds off the irrational mind....mny mistakenly believe "Free Will' is free to make our own choices n that is actually the secondary purpose...The primary purpose is to lead the ego vs following it...

Funny how Nell’s family totally changed names, faces, and personalities.

So we were all supposed to just forget that in the Season 1 episode: "Nell Goes Home", Nell's sister's name was Marie (Robyn Hastings) not Loretta, and that she was already married to Robert (Harrison Page)? Also, Nell got along just fine with her first mother, Emma, the ditz (not Maybelle), played by Hilda Haynes. It was her father, Rev. Harper (Hank Rolike) who resented her for leaving as a teen, not the mother.

I liked how they showed what contributed to the meanness which is often something rarely explored on these shows. You have parents who have children earlier than expected and find themselves putting their dreams and goals on the shelf to raise a family. They can become resentful if they see the child doing what they wanted to do or get angered if the child is not taking advantage of the opportunities. In later seasons, you see Nell really walk into the motherly role and step up to the girls stating they have way more opportunities available to them than she had.

I saw this two-parter back when it first aired and had never seen Roretta Lenoire, then I watch an old Fantasy Island episode on TVland and there she was. I've since caught her in a very old tv presentation with Sal Mineo and a very young William Shatner, about a courtroom drama. It seems she was caught up in the Hollywood blacklist and had her career put on hold because of it. The funniest bit is 'Nell' is just like her mother, even tho she says she isn't. Parents often do go to the child less like them and butt heads with the one more like them. Sadly, Rosetta passed away in March, 2002, Nell died January of 2003 and 'Loretta', Lynn Thigpen died March 2003. Strange how she and Telma Hopkins both moved to Family Matters to conflict with Carl and they were all upstaged by Steve Urkel.

5:43 Ohhhhh the actress playing Addy’s mom starred in the All in the Family spinoff that became the Jeffersons. Love everything about this woman. Her beauty, her voice, her talent. But she must be Telma’s same age. Why would they have her play Addy’s mother?

You just caught a continuity error which often happens in sitcoms. Rosetta is a different actress and mama was more mild tempered in the earlier seasons with a different actress. They made mama more mean in the later years. Also, they dropped Brenda, the younger sister who was the airhead. Often times, it's either a new set of writers who just take things in a new direction with no regards to previous character development or they wanted to create a new storyline. One of the joys of good TV, they can take us on many journeys and it's amazing that we didn't catch these things back during the TV run but now we see them
