Excellent writers, indeed, and dialog and scenes so true to life. When Mama pinches Eunice, and Eunice squinches up her eyes at her, well, that is something I've actually seen. It happened in church between my great grandmother and my unruly cousin, both named Martha. Too funny! Carol Burnett's Texas roots shine through in Eunice's accent. I love how Maggie Smith laid down the law in her classroom, and the family sat, diminished as if spoiled brats being chastised for bad behavior.

"I am in my prime!"

I was in a family like this growing up, and was heavily bullied so it did no wonders for my self esteem. I can remember teachers thanking their lucky stars I was not in their classes, and some that I did have making fun of me constantly. When the family fell apart and the town found out there was a whole lot of "fake sympathy". Truth was they knew, and they were ignorant to it all. If we had teachers like Ms. Collins we wouldn't have this problem. I met a few and they helped me get through the hard things. However, given the state of education today, and especially parents today. Often teachers who tell it how it is find themselves quickly out of work by entitled and clueless parents who think they can do no wrong.

Love Ed looking at the problem on the board like he doesn't know how to solve it.

Maggie Smith "Mrs. Collins" has always been awesome.

As a preschool teacher, I’ve come across many families like this one…where kids act out so badly at school but it’s because they have disfuncional family lives. And as a teacher you try to be truthful and honest and dive deeper into what’s going on at home and parents want none of it. Parents have no clue of the impact they have on their kids even in the little arguments and spats that they have. Most parents think “they are too small and don’t get it” but kids are smarter and pick things up more then they realize. Children might not verbally express the problems perfectly but they know hence they act out. It’s sad we need better teachers out there like Miss Collins

@@jaredcooper9111 He did start out getting out of juvie. And left behind by Eunice and Ed. So that was probably traumatic enough of a shock to actually accept the help he was offered and to adjust. Sides he was still a troublemaker now and then. Unless you meant how they physically described him

Back then when parents actually RESPECT teachers and their authority.

2020: I'm 71 and Mama's shoes are looking more and more comfy. And Maggie Smith in this then in Harry Potter decades later! I'm so happy right now.

“I WILL HAVE ORDER!!!!” DANG. McGonagall just channeled Umbridge at that particular moment! XD

Brilliant, true-to-life acting, reflecting personal experience for many families I'm sure. While this is hilarious, it's also a blueprint for what triggers fights in dysfunctional families. "Didn't I just say that, Mama?" is a case in point, where the opportunity was there to leave it be, but they were playing to an imaginary audience as well as the real one. Someone always has to win, and in the process, they lose, and so too do the kids.

Hot darn, but Vicki Lawrence is so good as Mama.

@@rock-ym3uf Congrats, and I think I misunderstood. I thought you were referring to Vicki, not your grandma, when you said "may she rest in peace." Condolences and your grandma sounds like a great ladyt!

These sketches are so deep. Sometimes I can't laugh they are so full of psychological issues and past hurts that come out

I've watched about 5 in a row now. The first time was funny but after that, wow, I can't believe how it got so dark so quick. If looked through a microscope it's Mama who's the start of the problem (I know it sounds cliche): preferring one of your own kids over another, always placing blame on Eunice and her husband, etc. Poor Bubba, the kid is crying out desperately for love, attention and affection.

@@jamiegarrity6439 It's genuinely distressing watching Mama fan the flames between the sisters over and over again. She simply can't stand the thought of them getting along for even a few minutes. These are so on-point: both the writing and the performances.

Oh grow up, it's a comedy show... that's the problem today, people are emotionally incontinent and has to make everything about them. You negative Nelly, just enjoy the damned skit and don't watch if you are a triggered snowflake. 🙄

This is one of my favorite shows I love Carol Burnett.

No one loves Maggie Smith more than me. 😍😍

Omgosh Maggie Smith. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
