  • Mama Harper wants a new appliance and she would sleep in a ditch to get it so sleeping with her family can't be too bad. Raytown is having a convention fair and the town is filled to capacity. They suggest that Raytown residents open their homes and rent rooms. Well, Mama Harper decides to rent a room. She expects only to rent one room but Naomi and Bubba have already rented a room. They all rented their rooms. Mama rents her room to the snobby Thornberrys with their precious orchid. Naomi rents her room to Ernie Carruthers and his significant other (I won't spoil it for you) and Bubba has rented his room to three cheerleaders. Well, you can imagine what life is like at Harper House.
  • Loaded with zany humor. All the cast has some stellar moments. Biggest laughs are when Peggy Sue's identity is revealed, and gets loose during the wild night. Bubba's dream comes true with four pretty cheerleaders staying in his room. Problem is he's downstairs. Very strong casting of the one-time supporting actors. A big surprise when Naomi's guest is a country bumpkin Ernie Carruthers (Tom McCleister). Dennis Robertson and Lois De Banzie nailed their parts as the uppity, upper crust, wedding gown white clad Thornberrys. Did Mr. Thornberry really make a mistake opening the cheerleaders door by mistake?
