She is able to go from aging "Mama" to one of the dancers in heels and seductive costumes. She can play such a variety of characters. She has cut records and ended up in the top 10 with great singing talent as well. Her one woman show has been performed around the country as well. She is amazing.

They don’t come funnier than Vickie Lawrence-Shultz. Wish Carol, Harvey and Tim would have permanently joined the cast on the TV series “Mama’s Family” when it first aired. The show would have ruled the airwaves into eternity!

Ed seemed to wear that same tan double breasted suit everyday too. He even had it on when he was on Mama's Family.

It was the BEST when it was on Carol Burnett Show....lost all its "grit and realness" when it went to the sitcom Mama's Family. NOTHING like this awesome ensemble cast!!! Nothing can touch this greatness right here!!!!

@karlakor 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, Mama's Family was not up to the standard of these sketches, and I noticed right away in the first episode that Mama's voice was different in the series from what it was in these sketches. In Mama's Family she sounded more like a caricature than a character.

@HMRLTL 2 жыл бұрын

The character was purposefully toned down at the suggestion of Korman to make mama less one-dimensional and more likeable since she was carrying the show.

@SavingHistory 2 жыл бұрын

And I’m guessing the voice change may have had to do with Lawrence herself. That screaming tone is one thing to do for 10 minutes once a week on a live show, but to use it for the amount of hours it took to shoot a weekly sitcoms? Just guessing, but I bet it hurt!

Mama's Beau was played by William Conrad, who was one of the top radio actors ever. He starred in Gunsmoke for years and was on every show in the golden age of radio. Such a dynamic voice!

@befdoglover1 11 ай бұрын

I first became familiar with him as Frank Cannon when I first started watching his other TV show "Cannon". Funny that I have been watching "Gunsmoke" from time to time and never noticed him. I just do not remember who he played on that show. I will be looking that up.

My dad loved these shows, he was without his kids while they were growing up. It gave him a look at the future of a dysfunctional family(i think) of yet to come. .... It gave him a laugh (Thank God) Clever people saw this coming, that is all I can say! I can definitely laugh now! People really think that all families are not dysfunctional, sorry dad we are all dysfunctional in one way or another. Love you dad!!! I always did and always will!!! Just knowing my dad just watching these shows could give me a laugh from the grave now! Wow!! To all of our fathers who could really makes us laugh!😂❤

Like all the Family skits, this one is funny on the surface, but deeply sad underneath. For a bit of trivia, Vicki Lawrence was totally green when she started on the show, and it was Harvey Korman who explained acting, comedy, timing, to her. She has often given him credit for bringing her up to a whole new level of acting.

@BrunetteOnTheCouch 10 ай бұрын

More trivia - Mama was written for Carol based on the 2 writers mutual hate for their Chicagoan Mothers. Carol turned it into 'Tenesee Williams in steroids' as she refers to it. Vicki graduated from the 'Harvard School of Comedy' with Professor Korman.
