This is probably one of the most depressing but yet most serious episodes of Mamas Family of the entire series because it brings out the modern world today of how some
parents don\\\'t care about their kids. All Bubba wanted was
to have his parents Ed and Eunice pay attention and be proud
of him. But they never did, First when Bubba is in Juvenille
Hall his parents move to Florida and stick Bubba with Mama and now in this episode Bubba and Mama are graduating night
school together and Bubba wants Ed and Eunice to attend his graduation and to go to collage down in Florida where Ed and Eunice live and Eunice phones mama and says that she and
Ed can\\\'t make it to his graduation and that they don\\\'t want
Bubba down in Florida with them so mama has to break the news to Bubba which breaks his heart. What is sad about the
whole situation is that there are alot of parents out there
just like Ed and Eunice who never have cared about their children and never wanted them and in my opinion this episode also brings out that mama through all her crankiness and sarchasm truly cared about Bubba and tried to love him. I encourage anyone especially a parent who has seen this episode to think twice about how they raise and treat their children.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- When Mr. Hanson first started teaching and Mama wanted to impress him, she said that one of the things she could lose was her B average. But it this episode she has gotten straight A's. Did Mama somehow do extra work to get that all up, or does dating your teacher pay off? Edit
- If Mama was valdictorian, nobody in Bubba's class was able to maintain a straight A average? It seems a bit unlikely that not one student could keep their grades so high. Edit

Notes
ADD NOTES- This is the last time we see the character of Allan Hanson, even though his previous two appearances indicated that he and Thelma might have been forming a possible relationship. Edit
