By the time of the syndicated seasons, the cast was narrowed down considerably, keeping only Mama, Vinton, and Naomi (guest stars still reprised their roles, however). Also introduced were Thelma's fresh-out-of-juvie grandson Bubba (Allan Kayser) and nosy spinster neighbor Iola Boylan (Beverly Archer). This five-person cast would keep the show going for the rest of the show's run.
