😢😢😢💚💚 so sorry for your loss! Don't know your dad! I've seen what cancer dose to the family two of my mom's close friends died my mom had it twice and a tumor take from her back! So sorry 😞 you dad had great taste in TV

❤️ This is the BEST & I wish The Family would have gotten a spinoff show with Eunice & Ed before Harvey passed away...✔️Love them all 🥰

My deepest condolences...

@@lizdestefano4905 he never wanted me to be an actor but once I wrote Vicki Lawrence a letter telling her about my interest in acting she sent me a still with her signature saying good luck two months later I got an acting job small part in a German foreign film then a Brazilian softer no commercial and some modeling ..I understand Eunice wanting so bad to be an actress ...the saddest Eunice skit for me was when she was in the gong show and she got gonged

It was

As that character, she is granite to Eunice's fire.

I don't recall Vicki EVER breaking in a sketch--

Always love Carol Burnet show!

One of the rarest times when Carole lost it!

Harvey and Tim were part of the team......

Because that's a baby's game...baby's play that game..lol

It's the chaos theory that Carol was so unique with. Normally directors snap when actors goof lines, or laugh, crack up during filming. Carol, Harvey, and the rest all tried to make the others lose it. Like they had a game. But it NEVER EVER made the skit worse, it always made it better, thereby the chaos of the best possible way created the most laughs. She was brilliant and she KNEW what made people laugh!

@@EdsterIII she still is😃

So true…lol

Right! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Guess if my pilot light was out, I'd end up being nuts too

No wonder this show was on for 11yrs on cbs great show great chemistry great characters thank you KZfaq 😃 can't get enough of this show 🙂

She looks like she is about to crack-up so many times but keeps it together. They're all great comic actors. I miss this type of television.

@@gvalley07 Carol did break character and barely kept it together.

What about the actress that played Granny in Beverly Hillbillies who really got into that roll?

Carol hired her at 17. She really grew up with the best...

I know who blew it out-Mama.

Absolutely, so wonderful, when you could do clean comedy and laugh 😂

Amen to that

I am dying laughing. I miss this show. I forgot how funny it was.

Right!!!?? 🤭🤭😂😂😂

Except for The Honeymooners.

Very true

Omg i did not know that

Noone can play Mama but Vicki Lawrence😆💯😆!!!

I heard she wrote Carol a fan letter which prompted Carol to get in touch and they met and talked for 5 minutes but that was all it took for Carol to get a feeling about how good she was

@@AFMountaineer2000 here is a interview Vicki talks about how she met Carol Burnett kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtmqo6uD1bXXkoE.html

😂

Lol

My mom cleans the table during dinner and getting all the table wet, even before 2 spoons fulls

My Aunt kept a fly swatter & butcher knife on either side of her plate. She swatted flies on the table & threatened the dog for begging, during the meal. Uncle was chucking ham bones the length of the table for the dog & I learned to keep my elbow tucked in after the 1st toss. My cousin was schizophrenic & took his teeth out, so he could lick them before they started passing the food. Best diet I’ve ever been on, lost 20 pounds during that visit!!!

Eunice already wiped that side of the table in the beginning of the sketch.

It's sticky!

It sure does.

@@anncorsaro224 exactly

About the same age as you and totally agree. Surprised it never rated in the top 10 as it was must watch TV on Saturday at 10 before Love Boat and Fantasy Island came along.

Pluto channel actually has the carol Burnett show channel so you can watch it anytime you want 🙂

55 huh ? Believe or not I an almost 85 and still reading these skits and loving them !!

As I at 84 !

My dad used to freeze the entenmens pound cake for some reaso

My dad used to freeze the entenmens pound cake for some reaso

Agreed

And fabulous singer too! She was the first to record "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" such a talent!!

@@elliewuzzup7689 I remember that song what memories

I was obsessed with the both of them!

Wonderful addition to Carols show.

omg same. I still come to this sketch once a while just for that part lol.

Is this house supposed to be in Tel Aviv? because this comedy is VERY Kosher.

I googled this today! I still use it to this day!

And eyes 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

If you draw a 7 in Sorry, you have the option of splitting it between two men. It's the only way to move forward four spaces in the game.

S Jackson The “Queen” of, no doubt! Poor Eunice 😿. Nothing ever works out as planned for her, despite her best intentions.

@jeff jones big man

🤣

I love Carols hair do 🤣

I was just a kid (about 8-9 years old) when TCBS was on but on but the Friday night line up was: 7:00 pm M*A*S*H 8:00 pm The Dukes of Hazzard 9:00 pm Dallas 10:00 pm Dynasty This was from 1978-1981 The golden are of TV for my generation and I'll be 50 in November

But we all get older of course, no sense of turning back to something we can’t go through again.

You’re telling the truth, good clean television!! Those were the good ole days!

@@annam.6223 We might not can go through it again but that's why I'm glad shows like this are now on DVD Bc ten to twenty years from now, when TV REALLY sucks, we can at least pop in TCBS, Dukes of Hazzard, MASH, or whatever show you liked and watch good clean funny TV.

YUP. THOSE WERE THE GREATEST TIMES. MEMORIES ARE ALSO GREAT. BUT NOW ALL WE HAVE FOR ''MEMORIES'' IS ''DID I BRING MY MASK WITH ME?'' WHAT A PILE OF HORSESHIT THIS COVID CLUSTERFUK IS. I NEVER BELIEVED IT SINCE DAY ONE.

I was so pulled into the drama. The acting is so excellent, then you get to that point and realize "they are doing this live in one take" Impressive!

She mouthed something at that point too. What was it?

@@mercuryfever392 "Oh boy!"

Totally. LMAO!!! I'll bet the "that's a new one, momma..." was ad-libbed to help keep her from busting up.

Vicki was ad libbing jabs. There’s another clip on KZfaq with alternate jabs during a second taping. I think the “that’s a new one mama” comment came when Carol heard this jab for the first time. And it was different from the other taping.

They were all a class act. Great memories from my childhood growing up in the 70's. I love the Christmas episode where Carol says"now we all agreed we were going to open all the presents in order, not helter-skelter like a bunch of maniacs.

Elephant one 😆🤣

The Best, The freaking Best!!! ..I Love Carol Burnett Soooo much, they all rock .😀😀

These never get old.

Well thanks a lot Mama 😅

Eunice to Mamma: " Now you listen to me Old Lady!!" (and she looks at Mamma with those scary psycho eyes) PRICELESS! (and poor Ed with his hardware store!) 😂😂😂😂

I always loved it when Eunice scrunched her face up, bugged out her eyes, and called Momma "OLD LADY"!!!!😂

@@mewregaurdhissyfit7733 Oh man, it's THE BEST!! Those eyes...when she's ready to go off! And poor Ed and his hardware store! And Mama and Eunice hate Micky Hart from Ed's store...it's TV GOLD!😂😂😂

Bahahaha

LMAO!!! How in the heck was Vicki Lawrence able to keep a straight face?

💕😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣stop, my side hurts

One of my favorite show in the 1970's. 📺😄

P⁰

Hogan's Heroes

She shurly is ,!!!!!

I said enough ,,!!!

Elle Bee 💯💯💯

Vickie TOO!

Hello Dear How are you doing!

Yeah, they sure don’t.

"MyThree Sons" and "The Honeymooners" are great too.

Classic!😂

Lol!!!!

No,sadly they dont.

They were a part of Carol's life. Her grandma and mother fought all the time. Her mom, drank and was a defeated actress. They lived in poverty.

Yes, that's the truth, Catherine Mathers ... Carol's own experiences influenced this sketch heavily! Have you ever seen the CBS special "Eunice" from 1982? It was a two-hour special, and really dealt with Eunice's family history from a very emotional standpoint, and flashed ahead a few years as well. It was such a sad and bittersweet show to watch. But I thoroughly recommend it. It is here at KZfaq. Just search "Eunice" and you'll find it.. worth a watch!

Tre404 Generational dysfunction is disturbing to see, even in a comedic format. Sometimes it's hard to determine whether the tears you shed are from laughter, distress, or both. I suppose 'Eunice' and the Family sketches were Carol's way of exorcising some demons. It was brilliantly done by the actors. I loved that show.

It’s like watching my family. I’m now in Hawaii 6,000 miles away. Now I can laugh at this.

Robert Gardea No, but I was held back from laughing out loud or around said family. They stopped watching the show because of Mama’s Family clips....it’s is my favorite show.

unlikeavirgin so true. They were the REAL comedians.

unlikeavirgin OH MY GOD! Both are my EVERYTHING!! Except for Ed Sheeran and Liza Koshy!

unlikeavirgin In real life Lucy could swear like a sailor.

??? There was cursing on this show. "JACKASS!" 😁

2degucitas Seriously. "Vulgarity" wasn't a recent invention people. There was nasty language and dirty jokes back in Shakespeare time. It's just our concept of "vulgarity" changed. Sorry, bit I just loathe "Back-in-the-day" misremembering.

MarkinDC and MASH and The mary Tyler Moore show

I mean all in the family

Y’all growing up in that time are lucky bc for ppl 20s and younger (my age) we had shitty tv and have to look these classics up on KZfaq

Us too! And then later, The Love Boat and Fantasy Island were our every Saturday night!

I was 7 years old but I loved watching the Carol Burnett Show. The whole family would sit in front of our tv watching. We were always in stitches!

Noticed that lady too, especially when Mama was walking back to the kitchen.

Dead. I laughed so hard I was in tears. Comedy at its finest.

IM DECEASED!!! I literally started laughing so hard that my mom came in my room and asked if I was strangling a goose...

That would be so funny!

But there were no dice and a bell in the game, right?

@@sha11235 No, there were cards with numbers on them.

Vicky was supposed to play the daughter. Carol decided she was better suited as the daughter so Vicky had to play Mama. And you're right, wig and granny glasses was all they had time for. And of course that padded dress and old lady shoes. Vicky was 18 when she went to work for Carol. She was a genius but has done little since.

@@jeffmartin3179 She has a show she takes on the road doing the Mama character. There are videos on KZfaq. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5moaax90q7Rk3U.html

She effectively DID get an award for it. An Emmy. Back then, when a show wanted to get an individual nominated for a Emmy, they submitted just one episode for each category. For Vicki Lawrence the year she won, The Family was the main part of the episode that was submitted. (In fact, the episode was called The Family Show.) Though she also did a sketch as a telephone operator, it was clear she won based on The Family sketch.

She was perfect

That's right !

I remember this from my childhood and am glad it's available to view anytime now!

Hello greetings

I agree, you need both of them 😀

esp when she is the youngest person in the skits. She is so good at making faces, looking grumpy and changing her voice to that of an old southern lady. Her old lady shoes and extra padding finishes the job of her transformation.

You are right. They were best together. The Mama show was not as good as this.

Their chemistry was just excellent in these skits. But it's important to remember that Vicki was in her early 20s playing Mama brilliantly here.

I grew up watching these shows on their first run in the 60s and 70s, and in our family these skits were known, simply, as 'Eunice'. For us the Eunice character was by far the main one. Vicki was good, but Mama was so obviously a supporting character we never even considered her as the main one. It was Eunice that the sketches focused on, and that was just fine with us!

Carol trying not to lose it😂😂😂

You're playing hockey with a warped puck😂😂😂😂😂😂

I watched this show growing up & I needed this today too it's still the go to laugh!

I lost my lovely cousin Anne. Watching all the episodes of Rhoda helped me cope with her passing.

Amen To That..Sista....

@@ddsmith3006 I am so sorry for your health issues. I myself have emphysema and asthma. I watched my Mom with the same illness as I do and it's scary. I've taken to also watch classics from the 60's and 70's. MeTV has some great shows. My Three Sons, Dragnet(odd but I love Harry Morgan), Leave it to Beaver, and the cartoons I grew up on from 6am-7am M-F. Carol Burnett was truly INCREDIBLE! Her ability to create was amazing and her pick of Vicki Lawrence was mind boggling. I recently saw the episode where she was introduced and she was shaking she was so nervous. Vicki was so sweet yet incredibly talented and so cute. She was one of my crushes as a boy. Then when I heard she was Mama too, um that altered my view a bit...lol. They would crack each other up on stage and make the others lose it, but it never ever detracted from the skit, it made it BETTER! That is what Carol could create. Art from chaos, causing chaos for laughs, and just being herself. She was brilliant! One of the BEST EVER IF NOT THE BEST!

These are the most obnoxious people in the entire milky way galaxy. 🤣.

Fuckin losers. They probably think 3rd Rock From the Sun or Modern Family is funny now days. They wouldn't recognize real talent or comedy if it bit them in the face

B B B But it triggered me....... Waaa!

Fuck "em!

Totally dysfunctional show. It's only funny the first few minutes.

There is a channel Pluto that runs carol Burnett' show at 11pm😀😀😀👍

They were always my faves growing up so happy to see others feel the same way 🥰🥰🥰

She was awesome. Never breaks character.

I was amazed at how long some of the ‘takes’ were. Not sure how they got thru the lines with out cracking up or changing authentic facial expressions.

@@jonyoder2356 Totally agree. Sheer talent.

In an interview she stated that as the newest/youngest/least experienced comedienne on the show, she felt she hadn't earned the freedom to "play" with the lines like her established co-stars had.

😆 she was biting the inside of her cheek

OH SHUT UP! LOL

Priceless!

I love that part!

Yes but no longer have 🕗 c

Sharon what a great memory!

@@monicajane7888 🤔 . 💖 . 😁 . .

I'm so glad we never had that game!

Of course there was no dice and bell, right? Just cards.

Same here!

That's a reference to a hit song.

Rob Thompson on her monthly cycle

Did anyone else notice that Carol Burnett was trying to look upset while laughing at that line? Wonder if it was improv....seemed to have surprised her

@@MVHS85 That was the funniest part, Vicki breaking Carol up. Mama: "You wait. I've got more." Definitely improv. on Vicki Lawrence's part.

Hi Dawn

I bust out laughing Everytime I watch this

A few months ago I got a pain pump due to chronic pain. The size of a pain pump is the same size as a hockey puck. I’m sure it’s not the same weight lol

Carol tried sooooooo hard to keep her composure after Mama said the pilot light one lol

Watch THIS vid: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMhldpmJ1ZnUp3U.html ...it's a bloopers vid from the show, and this skit is in it...apparently Vicki Lawrence kept going with 'em and Carol just loses it.

Riding the cotton pony.

They are to die for!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤

Hello greetings

I love Harvey Korman so much -- and he makes Ed a beautiful, tragic, good-natured and unforgettable character.

They literally act like babies playing the game

And he says he loves the game after he sorries Eunice.

Joshua Stien that line was said in "Whats happening" in Dee has a date episode

It was called Mama's Family. And it is spelled Eunice.

I dont know how they even got ANYTHING done. just seeing them all on screen together, I want to start laughing. They were an AWESOME comedy trio. Miss TV like this.

LoveFlatfootin1 so freaking amazing. My God I miss those days

I wonder if they decided to use that number because it is the number you can get the most when you roll two dice, ie, the probability of that happening is the highest of the outcomes.

I like this show

I was done at that point! I could even visualize the hole in the bottom of the salad bowl!
