Newhart Look Ma, No Talent (1982–1990) Online

Michael's mother visits and looks down on her son's job, thinking it is not artistic enough.

A very funny Michael episode and shows him in a sympathetic light for once. His mother is played by Ruth Manning, who had a memorable role on the All In The Family episode Edith's Friend, playing Edith's Aunt Rose. The funniest scene here is when Dick is forced to do a dog food commercial, with an uncooperative dog. In a later scene, Michael tells Stephanie that his mother would criticize things he made in art class when he was a boy. A funny line has Stephanie saying "Whenever I made something in art class, my parents would buy it."
