That's how a lot of TV sitcoms started out in the early days of TV. The Honeymooners was a weekly skit on the Cavalcade of Stars in 1949 and became its own show in '51.

I remember watching Carol religiously in the 70s, and into the 80s. They definitely don't make TV like that anymore.

@eduardo_corrochio

Жыл бұрын

At times Eunice's sons were called Bubba and Raymond, and then it was Bubba and Billy Joe. I believe that Mama had five kids: Ellen, Phillip, Eunice, Larry and Jack. Phillip was played by two actors-- Roddy McDowall (in a few skits, including the very first Family one) and then in the 1982 TV film "Eunice" they had Ken Berry play him. I enjoyed Bubba when he first started on season three of Mama's Family the sitcom. But after a while his character changed somehow, lost his spark and likeability for me. I didn't care for some of the changes they made during that series, like Mama going from hard and grouchy and judgy to someone who sang giddily around the house and came up with wacky schemes, even enjoyed tap dancing or dirty dancing. This wasn't the Mama from the original sketches. On "Mama's Family", the character of Thelma Harper should have been the _Straight Man_ ... reacting to her family members, always deriding and being sour; that's what worked in these hilarious skits on Carol's series. But when Vicki's sitcom was going into syndication Harvey Korman convinced Vicki Lawrence that Mama had to become warm and cute in order for the show to work, in order for the viewers to like her or find her funny. I disagree with that idea 100%. But I do like Mama's Family for what it is .... especially the first two seasons when Mama was still an ornery hot head! :)

@jonnaking3054

On the mamas Family reunion on Vicky Lawrence's show, I believe she said the number of children Mama has is a mystery. On Mama's Family it's generally accepted that she has 3 children, though she did mention having 4 in an early episode. On the Carol Burnett Family sketches it's generally believed she has 5... Although she did mention a Mary Ellen once. I'm assuming this is the same Ellen that we know, but she has never been referred to as MARY Ellen outside of that one time, so who knows if this is another daughter that we've never seen

@@jonnaking3054 Absolutely agree! It was nice to see the growth with mama and not have her be one dimensional and the backstory with her own mother. I also understood the change in Bubba's character. He clearly needed good parenting which he wasn't getting from Eunice and Ed. By the end of the show Bubba was a mature responsible young man who was in college I don't think that would have happened with his parents.

Hi too funny and can't watch it more than once ,thanks for sharing ,

Awww, at 1:45 they cut out the part where after Larry wants a beer, Ed says, "You're a man after my own heart Larry, and here I thought you were a bit of a Nance" and flips his wrist downwards. I know these days that's not PC but even I'm gay and thought that was funny.
