KATIE'S MOM DROPS IN FOR THANKGIVING, AND SHE'S LESS THAN THANKFUL, ON 'AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE'

"The Blow-Up" - It's Thanksgiving, but Katie is less-than-thankful that the holiday features a visit from her least-favorite person, her mom, Kathryn (guest star Wendie Malick, "Hot in Cleveland"), a self-centered former Pan Am stewardess. Surprisingly it's Katie's nemesis, Viv (Leslie Bibb), who helps ease the tension when she invites herself to dinner, on "American Housewife," airing TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22 (8:30-9:00 p.m. EST), on the ABC Television Network.

"The Blow-Up" was written by Vanessa McCarthy and directed by Eyal Gordin.
