hewas in so many shows leading up to this one, Hazel, Lucy Show..etc.

I love Carol Burnett!

@Donald Zachariah Why do you keep sending this same reply, do you have stock in the company or something 😂😂???

You show no what to say** 🤣😂🤣😂2👍👍up

Neuroticism

Maybe they are all bi-polar?

Carol's face when she says this is PRICELESS!!

They were the best

They don’t make them like that anymore!

this can sure cure anything

It is. Hope you had a successful recovery, but outstanding taste

It hurts me to even hear you say back surgery!! I hope everything was a success!!!

You are so right about 😂😂😂 Get well soon

Hey

SO funny that he used "The Family" clips. I've heard people say that they see their own family dysfunction in some of these skits. Me too! Lol.

My own mother was a mildly watered down version of Eunice. These scenes cracked me up when I was a kid and now I know why - the narcissism and passive aggressiveness. And yes, Carol Burnett was a comic genius.

There s all types and levels & types, of dysfunctional families. From ridgid to chaotic and in between. And some with major repeating cycles of trauma plaguing some families. That make this program look like totally sane and got it all together..in comparison !.

@@glendathegoodwitch6987 Tim Conway..more so ! As said by Carol Butnette herself.

Joyce Brothers appeared on the syndicated version

She was hysterical. And being 16 years younger than Carol Burnett - I could see how that would seem awkward!

She said that in regard to a weekly sitcom. And not playing it but the audiece's reaction. Mama in these sketches is true Mama as she was created and intended by Dick and Jenna. The Mama that was altered for consumption by those newbie sitcom viewers isn't Mama and I agree with the writers. If you didn't like the yelling you didn't like the character and maybe watch something else.

​@@BrunetteOnTheCouch Yeah, those 2 writers absolutely hated their mother

And Lucille Ball two of the VERY BEST❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I still watch her daily...It is great for my blood pressure also...

Absolutely

Here Here!

Mary Easton Amen!

Yes it IS 🤣

This is great but nothing beats all in the family

even me iam arapic women and i love her show alot

That's exactly how life in the south really is/was!

Funny 2👍👍up🤣😂😅😂🤣😂😅

Or go from friendly chit chat to screaming hysterically... they use start out so nice and loving 😂😂😂😂😂

@@dropkickmurphy4114 and in many other areas

That's how my mom was with me when I was a child and I would do something wrong. She'd yell and scream at me and read me the Ryot act and in the blink of an eye I'm going down to Walmart by the way is there anything you need?

Putin - You ain't lying!

I agree 1000%

Amen.

I think a whole lot of it was ad lib!

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

LOL

ODB Gonz I don’t think they do have any live slapstick comedy anymore.

It's really sad. So much comedy is lazy now. They just added canned laughter thinking it's funny.

Ha, ha, ha.....I don't think we'll ever see this sweet simple, clean comedy again! Hope I'm proved wrong! Comedy without vulgarity.....where do you find that in this day and age?

Unfortunately.

@@Daleylife Comedies that aren't funny. Strange.

Courtney Cox You have GOOD taste!!!!

You watched an old TV skit from before you were born, congratulations

Great talent is timeless

My 20 year old daughter doesn't. She has no taste unlike you!! You're about the first 18 year old who loved the show. Glad to see it.

So much better I totally agree

Dealing with a terrible bout of anxiety myself and I wholeheartedly agree. This show seems to ease it some.

Great lungs! Remember her Tarzan?! MMB

the whole cast was brilliant!

Harvey Gorman. Tim conway

@@petersolhjell604 It's pronounce Harvey Korman

P47: And Eunice says "well in that case, you don't have to go to the cemetery to tell him, you can just go into the bathroom". Lol.

It’s sure does

I asked my Dad why was he always in the toilet he told me it was the only place he had peace and quiet

LOLOL

Her delivery of that line is perfect. Didn't miss a beat.

Yes!!! If you dont have people in your family like these characters...you know people in other peoples families like them...

Yes: I feel that "Everybody Loves Raymond" is probably the closest thing to this family dynamic that's ever been on TV since Carol and her gang did these characters in the 1970's. The 1980's sitcom "Mama's Family" started out like these hilarious sketches but then changed dramatically once the show went into syndication (when they killed off Fran and brought in Iola and Bubba). Mama mellowed big time and became a completely different character. She still had her temper but she was far from the completely ornery and judgmental person we see in this video here. I wish Vicki had kept Mama mean, but when the sitcom became popular Harvey Korman convinced her to alter the personality because he believed the character would not be likable if she was totally mean and cranky all the time.

Carol and Viki always said in interviews they had writers that hated their families. The brilliance of these sketches is they took a concept, drama first and then added some humorous one-liners.

@Logically progressive We can disagree and still compare notes, that's a good thing. That change in Vint was dramatic, no doubt. I always felt that once Vint transformed into a dolt, actor Ken Berry borrowed heavily from Don Knotts' brilliant work as Barney Fife for some of Vint's mannerisms and reactions. Like you say, Vint in the first two seasons started off kind of standoffish-- for me he was like a Joe Average, an Everyman (from the South); hardly a comical character except for a few random moments. And then in season three ... instant dingaling. Sometimes Vint's lack of brains was funny, though. It depended on each script/writer. As for Mama habitually hitting him in years 3-6 if she became peeved with him: look closely and most of the time she does very light swats. But once in a while she would really smack him in the shoulder. I enjoy the Bubba/Iola seasons but there is something so good about certain earlier episodes, like the obscene phone calls that start coming when Naomi is up for Cashier of the Month (or whatever title it was), or the show about Mama getting that job as receptionist at the Raytown Travel Agency (when she answers the phone the first time by herself, I nearly weep from laughing). Good stuff.

@Logically progressive I agree, there aren't many good sitcoms anymore. If I find *one* each year that impresses me, I am basically flabbergasted, LOL. The only recent one that completely won me over was Grace and Frankie, on Netflix. Oh, and since you were speaking of Aunt Fran (I liked the episode where Thelma replaced her pink dress with another one but it had all these tucks and things) ... You probably heard this before, but Rue was initially offered the Rose role on Golden Girls while Betty White was offered Blanche; they swapped, wisely, as Betty already played a self centered nympho in the previous decade. And Rue played something of a ditz on Maude. Regarding Bubba: I liked his character when he first started. But after a while they made him into some shallow, vain type who was no longer a hell-raiser. It was just all about girls and his hair, very boring for me. Oh, well, I still liked the series even as it changed. Beverly Archer added a lot as Iola.

You are so right.

lol......for days!!!

lee Rusty mama would be 100 lol

lee Rusty It would be great to see the classics. But Vicky Lawrence is doing great right now on Fox’s The Cool Kids. It’s so funny, produced by the same guys from Its Always Sunny...

Truthfully, it wouldn't be the same. Vicky's spinoff was not nearly as funny as crotchety Mama on the CB show. Also, we would miss Ed and Mickey. Killer ensemble!

They are on Amazon with prime membership

@@haggiefatigue2971 truth

Carol Burnett is not sitting around reading comments on old KZfaq videos.

LOL

Natasha Gude so true

Natasha Gude ‼️

My younger brother was the favored one in our family. It was hard on me.

And now, due to the magic of the internet, you don't have to miss it anymore ...

Medea?

@@peterpiper7441 It's pronounced MADEA to you.

Dennison Edwards Medea can't compete with mama,when these 3 were together the laughter was real.

You are so right. I never made the connection between the two of them. 😂😂😂

@@katespurlding9647 they can't compete with MADEA

I miss Ths kind of great acting....I love this seen.......

The scripts were written straight, not jokes or laughs, but performed straight, these scripts could be a drama. The characters saying these lines makes it hilarious. Carol and Vicki say as much themselves.

i remember going with my uncle to see laurel and hardy. every time a new one came out we would go see them can't bring those days back.

I was watching then and also in it's original time slot on Wednesday. It came on at 9 and we had to go to bed at 9:30. We used to hide the hallway and sneak peaks. Good memories 😊

I love Tim Conway ! No one held a candle to him in comedy between all the a three of them. ! I can't imagine y Conway wasn't mentioned on your lists altho he wasn't on this hillbilly nonsense ..entire family behaves ignorant on this program.. Didfunctiond in families are bad enough long enough & progressively grows like a cancer worse as time goes by !!! But I will give VickiLawrence an A t for her role she played and Burnette second place.. If you enjoy watching and listening to arguing and fighting and childish content complaining and nagging. . I liked carol Burnette show much better.. Alot more variety and different guests. Rather than same ole same ole bickering amoung themselves. it annoying and never racking. Kinda sickening too. Nut they all play their parts in Excellency ! Although pretty much all the same: being ridiculous!I hope their own families are nothing close to this, in real life. !!! Wish Tim Conway wld hv been part of the show as the ole man skits. 😂 Then I would watched it way more often. R.I.P TIM

Lyla is right about this episode of The Carol Burnett Show. I am enjoying this is one of funny ones to watch.

Kind of like Sophia on Golden Girls. But Mama makes Sophia look like a girl scout, lol.

No

🙋🏼‍♀️Hey Mississippi Dude May i just say🤦🏼‍♀️ ... *_AAAAAMEN!!!_* 😇🙏🏻😉

Absolutely - just like my husband's family! His parents adore the baby brother who literally treats them like crap. My husband is the middle child, who would do anything for them, any time of day. I have to reign him in sometimes, he would drive 30+ minutes to go pick up food for them if they claim they haven't eaten,, after he worked a 12-hour shift but they are actually capable of getting food for themselves, or the son they live woth could get them food They never thank him for anything he does, but his younger brother is hailed as a prince, such a hard worker, great son, etc. Makes me so irritated!

#FACTS

He's Ellenn!!

Well.. That sure @ least makes me feel better. lol

Is she still kicking? 😅

@@demcadman No, died years back

​@@cierakitty I know the feeling. My mother died 3 weeks ago.... I celebrated 🥳

😂😂 😂

and it went six years!!

It was the 2nd one. It was the 1st episode of season 8 of Carol Burnett Show (September 14, 1974).

They're, not 'their'.

@@peterpiper7441 Why are they all wearing white shoes.

That is kind of weird.

Mark Peden i have all of mamas fam on dvds.
