Actually this was just called The Family. Mama's Family was the spin off from the sketches.

@@SkittleKicksPlayswell, duh!

@@tmckenny2994 I found it funny that Mama's Family came around after the "Eunice" movie - in which Mama dies. GOODJOB, network!

​@@tmckenny2994What a needlessly nasty comment.

You're welcome to come spend the holidays with my family.

We're in Houston, TX

It's March right now but Merry Christmas 2024 9 months early 🎉

Oozing with talent!

That's how a lot of TV sitcoms started out in the early days of TV. The Honeymooners was a weekly skit on the Cavalcade of Stars in 1949 and became its own show in '51.

Alan Alfa lived across the street from Carol when they were young in Hollywood and we're playmate and developed a lifelong friendship.

@@kathleengegax9664her first abortion was because of Alan Alda…

​@@GfysimpletonsFirst? Implies more than one. How despicably evil.

You have my sympathy.

And how about Ed's white shoes?

Yes, he was.

Ewwww no. Not even

He's adorable lol!

Yup, I was a teen

Who doesn't?

Didn't she have two other boys? I remember Bubba, Billy Joe and a Ray?

😂😂😂😂😂@ cuckoobirds

I had an "Aunt Fern" Suffered guilt until my mother died.... "Your (wealthy) Godmother Aunt Ann woud have given you a lot more if you had said thank you for that hand-me-down she gave you when you were seven!" !!! Ha ha Thank you Aunt Ann!

Why not? He and Carol were very good friends. They made movies together too.

I think I can speak on behalf of all family black sheep when I say that Larry speaks to us

LOL

Funny, but I have a cousin whose first wife did this sort of crap on Christmas Day. It was one person at a time, then that person "played" with their gift for five minutes, then they had to out it down somewhere out of reach, then it was the next person's turn. It took the family nearly two hours to open their presents.

@@ddmck1972 I was the only kid at home so my mom would let me open mine before her and my dad open theirs ☺️

Tbh, I’d rather hang out with Mama than Eunice. I’m not sure what Carol does to her voice but it makes me want to punch her.

Hello Amy

She's always hilarious. And Mr Tudball lol.

3 Larry, Jack and Vinton.

​@@BrunetteOnTheCouch and Philip

Carol and Harvey are hilarious separate and together. I can honestly say I've never laughed at Conway once. I guess ridiculing the elderly and being annoying doesn't pass for comedy for me. To each his own.

@@BrunetteOnTheCouch you must live a very sad life not be able to open up things that are meant to make people happy. I hope you find solace and being with yourself especially when you get old Ocean Pointe

​​Tim was the funniest of the lot (and all were funny). You.must be the only person who doesn't like him. You have to be pretty sour to put a negative spin on Tim Conway. Says a lot about you.

Ommg. Hawkeye was a character role for Alan Alda, not s real.person. smh.

Not really,Alan is intelligent and vint is the equivalent to a dumb blonde

What about Roddy mcDowell? The kid's names are different too.

At times Eunice's sons were called Bubba and Raymond, and then it was Bubba and Billy Joe. I believe that Mama had five kids: Ellen, Phillip, Eunice, Larry and Jack. Phillip was played by two actors-- Roddy McDowall (in a few skits, including the very first Family one) and then in the 1982 TV film "Eunice" they had Ken Berry play him. I enjoyed Bubba when he first started on season three of Mama's Family the sitcom. But after a while his character changed somehow, lost his spark and likeability for me. I didn't care for some of the changes they made during that series, like Mama going from hard and grouchy and judgy to someone who sang giddily around the house and came up with wacky schemes, even enjoyed tap dancing or dirty dancing. This wasn't the Mama from the original sketches. On "Mama's Family", the character of Thelma Harper should have been the _Straight Man_ ... reacting to her family members, always deriding and being sour; that's what worked in these hilarious skits on Carol's series. But when Vicki's sitcom was going into syndication Harvey Korman convinced Vicki Lawrence that Mama had to become warm and cute in order for the show to work, in order for the viewers to like her or find her funny. I disagree with that idea 100%. But I do like Mama's Family for what it is .... especially the first two seasons when Mama was still an ornery hot head! :)

On the mamas Family reunion on Vicky Lawrence's show, I believe she said the number of children Mama has is a mystery. On Mama's Family it's generally accepted that she has 3 children, though she did mention having 4 in an early episode. On the Carol Burnett Family sketches it's generally believed she has 5... Although she did mention a Mary Ellen once. I'm assuming this is the same Ellen that we know, but she has never been referred to as MARY Ellen outside of that one time, so who knows if this is another daughter that we've never seen

@@eduardo_corrochio I think Vicky or Harvey said if Mama was going to be the main character of a 30 min sitcom, she's gotta do more than just sit around and frown all the time. I was happy to see her evolve into a likeable character.. I always wondered how Eunice would have gotten along with the brighter cheerier Mama of later years. Mama was nicer but I thought when she did insult ppl she could be a lot more cutting in later years

​@eduardo_corrochio I agree. By the time we got to the last seasons of Mamas Family, the characters became watered down and lost their grit. Even in the first run of Mamas Family, Mama and Naomi stood up against eachother and created drama.

@@jonnaking3054 Absolutely agree! It was nice to see the growth with mama and not have her be one dimensional and the backstory with her own mother. I also understood the change in Bubba's character. He clearly needed good parenting which he wasn't getting from Eunice and Ed. By the end of the show Bubba was a mature responsible young man who was in college I don't think that would have happened with his parents.

Same here!

She lived some of these, based on reading her memoirs.

This sketch speaks to me as the family black sheep

@@jilliank6379 Hope you have coped with that and have lots of good support from those in your life.

If that ain't the truth. Nothing worse than the kid who is a "little bit different" coming home for a reunion. Absolutely painful.

@@barbraseville8984 At least you get to leave when it's over.

I noticed those cuts, too. You never know where and when the rainbow mafia is going to strike.

This is unedited version. Guess the homophobes always have to lie to get their homophobe view in there. I watched the original airing - this is it. Dear God the amount of time you people spend worrying about other people's bedrooms. Yet want your 'freedumb' because someone wanted you to help protect others from a deadly virus by wearing a mask for a little while and getting a vaccine. Lord remove this cancer posing as a political party from my beautiful country.

I believe she had five children Eunice, Ellen, Jack, Larry and Vinton.

Yes he is. He does a great job playing a normal guy until they push him too far, then standing toe to toe with the others.

Who cares.
