**ATTENTION** THIS IS A DRAMA! NOT THE COMEDY SERIES OR SKITS.
"Eunice" was a special that was made in 1981 and aired in early 1982 on CBS. In some ways more dramatic in content than comedic, "Eunice" has never seen a release on VHS or DVD since it first aired.
Those familiar with 'The Family' skits from the Carol Burnett Show will recognize certain storylines, however they are presented in different ways dramatically, notably the Fluffy incident. Still, this lost gem of a special is definitely worth watching. It's success paved the way for "Mama's Family" later on. (In my honest opinion "Mama's Family" was a little less interesting than the original skits and the TV special.)
Ken Berry plays Phillip Harper, who was originally played by Roddy McDowall in 'The Family' skits. Ken Berry would later play Vinton Harper in "Mama's Family." Vicki Lawrence was nominated for an Emmy for her role as Thelma Harper in this special.

Noooooo…… Carol wasn’t even nominated for an Emmy here, She has a very bad habit of over-playing the dramatic scenes. As a sketch comedian, that style of acting works well. But in a piece like this, which veers uncomfortably from comedy to drama, often within the same scene, it can be terribly off-putting. Watch Carol cry out to Mother Mary in “Pete n Tillie” some time, you will see what I mean.

Our life was messed up but Mama's Family made it seem a bit more normal, compared to the other 80's sit coms where everything was cute and comfortable.

As many have written, the Mama's Family skits on the tv series were a bit more light hearted but with serious undertones and with serious doses of reality. The family relationships were shown to be believable, which is what makes this special so real and true. Thank you for uploading this so fans today could see it for the first time or rediscover it.

This iteration of Eunice is PARTICULARLY depressing because the audience thinks Phil has a point that Eunice is always making excuses not to try in life, that she's using others to avoid failing, and then at the tail end you realize she's not scapegoating, or making excuses, but literally feels like other people need her in order to survive. She's such a sad character because she's probably the most empathetic and altruistic, and she gives until she explodes, making her appear to be the most cold and self-serving. Phil, who appears to be the objective and wise savior character, CONSISTENTLY withdraws from the environment when anyone needs anything. He appears to be the most stable, but it's only a façade; he never deals with the family issues head on. The healthiest part of the entire film was when Eunice - without blowing up or going into histrionics - tells Ed after the funeral he should leave.

So I missed your reference when you cited "Pa no Pa" and my oversight was compounded by the fact I've never been very focused on Phil or who was playing him whether it was Roddy McDowall or whoever replaced him.

I remember well when this aired on tv back in 1982. For someone like Carol, this chance to fully tell Eunice's story must have been not only an actor's dream to expand on a character but I'm sure it was therapeutic for her as well being that her upbringing parallels some of the situations in Eunice's life. This should definitely be on dvd and of course it begs for a optional commentary track from Carol herself. A real heartbreaking story. Isn't it strange that we all have come across a Eunice in our lives?

Ieland, it indeed was not as funny as the CB Skits featuring Mama, but it still had funny places throughout, that were reminiscent of that show. Plus I think the whole idea was for it NOT to be non-stop laughs, because there was a seriousness about it coming up at the end & was downright touching & a real tear-jerk-er. Especially, if you ever had a Mama, LIKE Eunice's' "Mama" as I had, & then you lost her. I was so able to identify with the entire last part. So, it would have been awkward if the laughs were non-stop leaving one crying in a very different & good way -- laughing 'til you cry] & then suddenly got touching & serious at the end to be something completely different. It had to be eased into, because the END was the whole point of "Eunice". FINALLY, getting her big break, only to be sucked back in. Mama, was definitely NOT at her best & funniest, but that would have only distracted from the plot was headed, something more serious & with a message.

I was a little kid, watching this in real time. I fell asleep every Friday night after The Hulk and then Dukes of Hazzard. By the time of Dynasty or Dallas, I was being carried by my parents or my older brother to my bed. Both were moral and am glad to say that we were poor but it was the best. Both of my parents worked to make sure we had what we need. My mother doesn’t have the fond memories that I have. She worked so hard and always had a fire when we got up. My dad is gone but my mother is a saint

The character of Eunice was always the tragic part of life in Mama's Family sketches and even in the series. When Eunice showed up, i was always as a character that was mildly amusing but with something dark behind it. For a sister like Ellen to tell Eunice what became of Fluffy was an evil way to hurt her to the core, for the simple pleasure of being evil. The series they made called Mama's Family featured an occasional Eunice who was not so hurt and tragic. She was just made an ordinary loser, someone who could never attain her dreams because of this and that. I really enjoyed Mama's Family, even though they made the late Ken Berry a nincompoop, but he loved his wife Naiomi and that was his redemption. Mama was less cruel in the series. I never saw this production featuring Eunice's life. I only saw it now in 2019. Carol Burnett was and is a wonderful actress and comedienne, and I wonder how she felt about the dark sides of Eunice's life. I think it's also remarkable that she allowed Vicki Lawrence to develop her character of Mama to the point of creating her own series. I miss the old Carol Burnett shows but I also miss Mama. I wish it had continued on even further. It's like a landmark of American family life, and it's entertaining. Just my 2 cents.

I actually saw a mamas family reunion on Vicki Lawrence's talk show. On it Vicki explained that after this movie came out Carol Burnett said to her to make this show and run with Mama. So maybe Carol reached her limit of catharsis from playing the character. Maybe she knew Vicki had potential as a comedianne and gave her the opportunity to make people laugh all over. Maybe that's just me being sentimental. But you do bring up marvelous points. Creating characters, even comedic ones, usually borrow from something inside of us. Good, bad, light, dark, we all take from things we know.

Carol Burnett is just phenomenal....what an incredible talent! Over the years she created some of the most hysterically funny characters in TV history but I think her finest character was most definitely Eunice. In this special you really saw Carol's talent as a dramatic actress as well. Vicki Lawrence's portrayal of Mama is amazing as well and it's interesting how that character changed from being so mean and bitter in the Family sketches and in this special to a little softer but still with an edge on the network series to endearing and borderline sweet in the syndicated show. Such great enduring characters. This special really shows the inner workings of a dysfunctional family such as many of us have dealt with and even though this was originally done for comedy there is a very definite realness to these different characters and a depth and complexity to them particularly from the character of Eunice as well as Mama. This one was definitely dark....the family sketches on The Carol Burnett Show were funny with some dark undertones but this was definitely darker and got more into the character's minds. Especially Eunice's. I found it very relatable.

Won't happen traditionally, was recorded on VHS not film. Maybe some AI magic could do it though

I was never a fan of the family skit, but I loved this. It’s amazing to see things from Eunice’s point of view. She really did get the raw end of the deal. Harvey Korman did an amazing job directing this. He made the characters relatable. Thanks for posting this!
