[@tomhaskett5161]

Alan Alda plays a commercial artist and they give him a paint-by-numbers set!

Carol had to memorize so many lines and bring them to life in this mini theatre of comedy. Superb job.

She was a great actress. And it was her show.

I love how Alan Alda looks genuinely terrified. 😂

[@latvguy1]

Each "Family" sketch is literally like an episode of a sitcom. It's hard to believe they had the time to rehearse other sketches and musical/dance numbers within one week. Such a great show.

[@carmeldelaney1086]

Oozing with talent!

[@brianarbenz1329]

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.

[@middleagenerd]

@@brianarbenz1329 The first skit of "The Honeymooners" originally aired on October 5, 1951, as part of the television program "Cavalcade of Stars," starring Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden and Audrey Meadows as Alice Kramden. The popularity of the sketch led to its development into a standalone series, which premiered on January 1, 1955. The show became one of the most beloved sitcoms in television history.

[@BraveStoriesTGG]

It's so beautiful to see how people express their love through letters! It's almost like reading someone's soul. Do you think love letters can still have the same impact in today's digital age? Or has technology changed the way we express our emotions?

[@Dalekzilla]

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

[@nathanbarger3449]

I don't enjoy the holidays since almost all my family has passed away. But after watching this. Being completely alone is better than being in a nut house like this.

You're welcome to come spend the holidays with my family.

I love how the Carol Burnett show ties into Mama’s Family. Both were such big parts of my childhood.

[@cynthiasteel2492]

Mamas family is from the Carol Burnett Show. Ppl liked it so much they made a spin-off of it.

[@DementedNun121]

Yes it's a spin off but Carol Burnett was fired after 6 episodes of mams family's her husband who produced it fired her cause he was having an affair.

Funny, but I have a cousin whose first wife did this sort of crap on Christmas Day. It was one person at a time, then that person "played" with their gift for five minutes, then they had to out it down somewhere out of reach, then it was the next person's turn. It took the family nearly two hours to open their presents.
