"There is a great scene that's cut from the TV Land version. You find out how Clara finds out that Bea thinks she's uppity. She calls the aphids "little devils" and attacks them with her sprayer. Too funny! " - Rusty from North Carolina

"I didn't like this episode much but watching it again made me change my mind. The "Sweetbriar Normal School Song" at the end is really sweet. " - Rusty from North Carolina
