That's My Mama

S01E15: Mama Gets Fractured

Clifton's plans for a weekend fishing trip run aground because of Mama, who is bedridden with a broken leg and cannot be left alone.

Overview

Clifton Curtis has got it made—he runs a successful business he inherited from his late father and he's lucky with the the ladies—but he still lives with his Mama. She rules the roost and dispenses advice to everyone who'll listen—no one at Oscar's Barbershop is spared from Mama's wisdom. And they wouldn't have it any other way.
