Carol Burnett Show - The Family: "Mama Exodus" (unedited)

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

I like how they kept track of the backstory, like about Fluffy the rabbit, who came out of hiding in another sketch.

[@leonadams1942]

I love watching Vicki Lawrence as Mama. She so deserved that role and was the best for it.

[@judethaddeus9856]

What do you mean « she deserved the role »???? It was her role, she created the character.. who else would « deserve » it????

[@serene5345]

@@judethaddeus9856 In other words, the role was perfect for her. Not many know this, but Carol was originally in the role of Mama. They both decided to switch the roles around and include Southern accents, much to the writers chagrin - and it worked. Priceless!

[@vikkinicholson5880]

@@judethaddeus9856 Amen to that Jude well put. Vicki IS Mama and owns it now and forever. She is a natural born actress and deserves any awards she can get. I simply am transported when I watch any of these sketches.....it suddenly becomes a more innocent time and we all need it back.

[@jeffreygranger6913]

This was equal parts funny and tragic. Kudos to Conway for keeping a low profile and understanding the scene. Wasn't about him and he knew it.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Yes. I think Tim purposely did not do a lot of ad-libbing during Family sketches because they were so well written and they also had this seed of tragedy inside them. He was a sharp fella; knew what skits he could go crazy with and which ones to keep his antics low key. But of course there was one notorious ad-lib Conway did with Eunice and Mama ... that hilarious bit he did as Mickey sharing a memory about Siamese elephants. That was in the Family "Password" sketch (in their eleventh and final season), a sequence which included Dick Van Dyke as Eunice's new romance, Dan.

[@christopherscorner]

I don’t know what it is but I cannot get enough of these Family sketches! Each time, I feel more and more sorry for Eunice. She deserves better.

[@berlinsaintclair9100]

I feel the same way! Poor girl. They really bring these characters to life so well. The Family sketches were always my favorite back then and still today.

My mother was “mama.” The guilt trips are real. The loyalty of a daughter is, too. There’s no winning. It’s funny but the hurt Unice feels is realistic, too. I imagine it’s not uncommon and they portrayed it so well...with humor.

The fact that she planned to have all that stuff moved to Eunice‘s house the entire time is what gets me 😭😂

[@paulineg20024]

Oh, poor poor Eunice.. Mama's funny in the sketch, Vicki is marvellous!, but the character is in fact terrible.. manipulating by the talking, making others feel guilty, so that, in the end, they do what she wants. Plus, she doesn't see that what she says can really hurt like at 6:59. She reminds me a bit of my grandma, I love her, but she always says or does things in a way, or tells people what to do, so that everything turns out like she wants. Eunice is a good person inside, of course she's screaming, not always really nice, but in the end she always does things for the others.. Great writing job. :) I love Carol Burnett, she's one hell of a talented actress ♡♡♡

[@wardarcade7452]

On the contrary, I think Mama knew EXACTLY how much she was hurting Eunice via dumping on her so she could manipulate Eunice!

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

[@gabrieladerre2862]

I've been a HUGE fan of Carol, and Vickie, ever since I was a little kid, and my grandma talked me in to sitting down and watching Mama's Family! I'm pretty sure that it was the first show that I ever loved, that wasn't a cartoon! Its a shame that Eunice and Ed weren't in the show, past the first season! I love The Family skits too! I can't believe that I'd never seem this one! Thank you, kindly, for sharing it! 😁

[@UncleDuTheWatchman]

These skits are actually the pre-cursor to Mama's Family. These actually come from the Carol Burnett Show, so you wouldn't have seen this watching Mama's Family so don't feel like you missed an episode. . It was just called "The Family" when it was a Sketch.

[@pika23]

Me too! I first saw the syndicated Mamas family in kindergarten. The ones with vint and his kids then as I got to be like 7-8 the newer retooled syndicated ones with Naomi and bubba iola

[@cbtharr]

Poor Eunice. When she threatened to leave Ed over his dalliance with a massage "therapist", Momma was adamant about Eunice NOT moving in with her. But, now she's forcing herself into Eunice's home!

[@angiee4422]

Now that is a fact! I can't figure out why Mama sold her place🤔 The timing indicates supporting her grandkids but at the end she pulls back on the offer of rent 🤷‍♀️

[@tydee730able]

She said Eunice could stay with her a day or 2 and that's what she said that she needed. But i know I couldn't do it.

I couldn't agree more.

[@annetteking7817]

[@AEvans36963]

It's my understanding that these characters are based on Carol's mother and grandmother and their toxic relationship. A comedic reflection into generational dysfunction. Funny but terribly sad at the same time. Guilt is a parent's strongest weapon.

[@gabrieladerre2862]

I was born with some sucky spinal problems! But the Lord must have seen fit to compensate me, with a quick, logical mind. So, the weaponized guilt, that the same elders that I loved and respected, and still do, almost always slid off me, like water off a duck! Unless, it was one of those rare occasions where I had something to feel a little bad about. Otherwise, it didn't work!

[@gabrieladerre2862]

On the rare occasion that my grandmother said or did anything to upset me, instead of letting me just take a few minutes or so, to get over it, as I was never one to throw fits, or be disrespectful, even while upset, she had a favorite line! That was "wouldn't you feel awful if grandma died in her sleep tonight, while you were mad at her?" I always did an reverse on that! "Wouldn't you feel bad if you upset me, and I died of some unknown childhood condition in my sleep? Even if I did, my soul would understand that family just some times gets to one another!" Or something like that! To her credit, she'd always tell me that I was right. And too wise for my age, and too smart for my own good! 😆 I should call and see if she remembers those incidents! I'm still a "grandma's baby," despite being a man in my 30s! I'll never age out of it! 😁

[@getyourkicks]

No... these are just made fictional characters...the writers etc ..she talked about the writers didn’t like for them to talk southern ....

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@getyourkicks Supposedly the actors initially tried reading the first sketch script (when Eunice's brother Philip, played by Roddy McDowall who would appear three times in the role, comes home to visit the family) without any accent, and it failed to be funny at all. Then someone suggested trying something like a Texas flavor in the dialogue, and suddenly it was hilarious. The writers weren't thrilled-- but the rest is comedy gold. Trivia: Writing partners Dick Clair and Jenna McMahon created the family. They also created "The Facts of Life" sitcom, and had written for some classic sitcoms like "The Mary Tyler Moore Show". Very talented people, God bless their souls.

[@lindaknaus448]

In real life, we endure such tragedies, and the only way to ease the pain and tell these stories is to “see the humor in it”. So many time I find myself saying “well if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry” But mainly these skits let us know in one way or another that we are not alone, and there’s a real comfort in that. Many thanks to this amazing team of performers and writers🙏🏻💖

[@patriciawright8786]

Linda Knaus---I agree with you. Having a sense of humor is what saved me. I am sure one of the writers had experienced this too. Writing this skit was probably cathartic for them.

I never made this connection before, but the fact that you can see all of the dirt and dust on the walls around where she used to hang her pictures reveals an important detail. Mama is quick to criticize Eunice for alleged poor house-keeping, but she drank just as much as Eunice, and she has a horrible temper just like Eunice, quick to blame other people for her problems just like Eunice... Mama's house-keeping for her own home was no better than Eunice's. Like mother like daughter.
