Always loved this skit. I remember when my great-grandmother died in 1972. My relatives fought in the attic just like this over a cuckoo clock, an old quilt, and other stuff. Every family has a Eunice, Ed, Ellen, and Momma. 😅
@mojojeinxs9960Ай бұрын
I am the Eunice, my ex husband definitely was the Ed...my mom wasn't southern but a tiny Italian, miss bickering with my mom so much. My older sister cruel perfect Ellen. Came around to visit my mom maybe twice a year. I took my mom everywhere with me and she bitch about anything and everything God bless her soul. My mom and I would laugh so hard watching this show.

These skits were so masterfully written and acted out, they almost serve as a kind of collective family therapy for millions of people out there watching. They simply nailed the nuances and struggles of family life in mid-century America, and watching them 50+ years later, they appear every bit as relevant now as they did then.

"....we all know we live in a dump" - this is the 2nd best Family skit behind "Sorry". Simply BRILLIANT! I think the one where Eunice, Ed, and Mama visit Bubba's teacher is 3rd, Eunice and Mama go to the Hardware Store is 4th, the one where Aunt May dies is 5th, the one where Mama has a broken ankle is 6th, the one where Eunice, Ed, and Mama go to visit Mickey's apartment is 7th, then the one with the flashback as to why Eunice had to marry Ed is 8th, the one with Alan Alda visiting as Christmas is 9th, the one where Eunice, Ed and Mama go to a fancy restaurant and the one where Joanne Woodward plays Eunice's best friend are a tie to round out the top 10. As someone mentioned in the comments below, these were 1 act plays. The writing and acting and story lines are timeless and as good as anything ever put on TV or the stage.

Heartbreaking as much as it is fun! ☺️ They can’t make productions like this anymore. Something is lost. Spirit. People were simple. Walked and talked differently. The whole body language was different.

Something is lost...spirit. I can fully appreciate your comment. We can't relive these days, once the innocence is lost, it can't be recaptured.

RIP Betty White. This skit is as old as dirt but it was always my favorite. I am laughing so hard right now that I'm crying.
@wjb45782 жыл бұрын
Even though it's "dirt old", with today's filming/recasting technology this sketch could have been filmed as late as the mid 2000's before everything went digital, the image is that clear.

This is just a reminder of how talented Betty White was. Every character she played from Sue Ane Nivens, Rose Nyland, or Ellen, she was so believable. We will all miss you Betty, rest in peace.

Betty is also fantastic as Sue Ann Niven on The Mary Tyler Moore show. I call her the Queen of Shade!! 👑😎

She was actually known for playing these types of characters. That is why she was originally offered the role of Blanche. Rue, who had made a name for herself playing simple minded characters, was originally going to play Rose.

Black-Nerdist that’s interesting. I think they turned out playing the right characters in the end.

True, Betty White usually played snarky, bitchy and unlikable characters.

Well, this here does have bad language, but it’s kept to a minimum and not going so far as to say like the f word.

Betty White was an American Icon who brought laughter and many years of entertainment on television and the big screen She truly was a wonderful actress and a huge access to Hollywood. She left so much love behind

What's really sad is that this reminds me a lot of my own neurotic, crazy, super dysfunctional family. A ton of sibling rivalry and hatred, parents who hated each other, a lot of yelling and insults designed to destroy someone's ego, etc, etc. A real shame. It's comedy of course, but...there's some serious psychological stuff going on underneath all of the comedy. It makes me cry when I watch this and then reflect on my own childhood and adolescent memories. Oh well.

The way you make it funny is to play with passion and commitment and Burnett delivers. Growing up in an abusive family, I found these sketches to be more painful than funny, though.

Eunice is the nicer but unappreciated of the two sisters and as always she ends up looking like the villain at the end...tragic real life of the unfavor child. This mama's home hits home with me.

These 'family' skits were remarkable, far beyond variety show level.
