There is something about these comedy sketches with Eunice and Mamma that touches on a sadness at the same time . How many of us are there that have known the deep despair and anger from trying to please someone that never will be pleased no matter how hard you may try .

Regarding this particular sketch: This was very sad and disturbing. Brilliantly written, acted,and directed…and I don’t like watching it. It’s really psychodrama for the writers. The talented Betty White’s character is downright hateful, as is Mama. I much preferred the earlier sketches of “The Family,” such as the three of them playing Sorry, or when Alan Alda, Tommy Smothers, and Roddy McDowell played Eunice’s brothers. Those sketches were funny. But then “The Family” took a dark turn that I detested. Thank goodness they lightened it up again when it morphed into Mama’s Family.

@@rhsharp I agree. It's very reminiscent of the ugly arguments in "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte." Every word is dripping with resentment and cruelty. Betty White's Ellen character is horrid and bitchy, and Mama is unbelievably insensitive. I kept expecting Eunice to shove the cake in either woman's face.

I think the main reason Mama's familly was so well liked, is that so many can relate to it.

I know that's right! I grew up watching these episodes and 45 years later I'm still watching them! Some one commented that they felt rather sad for Eunice. I didn't feel sad for Eunice until after her Mom died she thought Ed wanted to get back with her and because of her low self esteem and genuine help for others; she did not even get to go with her brother Phillip to New York and she really wanted to go to see new places and enjoy life's true blessings.

All my years of growing up and seeing Betty White all I thought was there's and older lady. Now that I'm almost 60, I look at this video and think, damn, she is a good looking woman!

I grew up on "Mama's Family"😂😂😂😂😂 Great times!

Don't forget Carol Burnett, I loved her as a child and even more so when I was old enough to understand the adult side of her comedy.

She had a good heart in real life. She loved animals. She did her best to help them.

I'm a young person born generations from her, and yet she still had a remarkable impact on my life. Her presence in Golden Girls was something that saw me through a lot of dark times in my youth, giving her gift for infectious laughter and light-hearted charm. She was a true gem, and I hear an even more delightful and dazzling soul off-screen. She will be so greatly missed, but her legend lives on in her film and the many lives she touched. Love you, Betty.

As a child watching this rerun, I did laugh at the accent and crazy antics. Now as an adult. You see how painful the reality is. Too many of us have felt the same way. Being less favored while the other sibling is loved more😳😳

Betty White was a true icon and rare gem in the acting industry. Her whit and humor will greatly be missed. Rest In Peace, our truly wonderful lady.

The best way to summarize Eunice's behavior was even if she married a rich man, she wouldn't have turned out like Ellen or brother Phillip. She was too needy and wanting attention, and she would have been too cruel and insulting to someone else's effort, insisting she could do better. The Restaurant, when Eunice, Thelma and Ed went to a fancy restaurant to eat and were kicked out, someone spoke then about how sad Eunice was, but in truth, she brought the rejection upon herself.

@Peacock Feathers Another interesting bit from Carol's book, One More Time, which clearly while Thelma is loosely based on Carol's grandmother, Nanny, and Eunice is Carol's mother, Louise, and Betty White's Ellen is Carol's aunt, Eudora; Eudora was born first and was a difficult pregnancy because she was a big baby. Nanny would say Louise came into the world small enough to fit in a teacup. She further said that was the end of her problems with Eudora and the beginning with Louise.

I know this is fiction but it’s rather sad. The smartest one of the entire family is their brother Philip. He left home early to move to California to become a writer and never came back home and limited his contact with immediate family. This is the best way to deal with narcissists. You can empathize why Eunice turned out the way she did. Her mother was a narcissist and used gaslighting against her, and her sister Ellen was a narcissist as well and used gaslighting. Truly, if I were her, I would have divorced that stupid, lazy, penny pinching husband, put that selfish, ungrateful, narcissistic harpy of a mother in a nursing home and forget her, and tell that self centered sister to kiss my narrow ass before leaving town to start my life over and forget everyone of them. No love loss.

I looooved these shows!! Mama's Family and The Caril Burnett show were my favorite!

Aww Betty. How comforting to watch this. She was indeed a legendary icon. 🙏🏼

I was watching this when I found out the news. R.I.P. Betty White... A legend amongst Legends

"I still got some of that dried-out pot roast stuck in mah throat!" Thelma just couldn't resist needling Eunice at every opportunity, showing how she contributed heavily, if not entirely, to the formation of Eunice's character and neuroses as an adult. Just brilliant that they were able to do that in a sketch comedy routine, time after time. I can only now truly appreciate the talent of the writers and performers of this skit.

I was ready with my Panasonic cassette recorder to capture the audio. Then two of the women in our family would rehearse the lines and then put on a performance for the next get-together.
