The Family: Brotherly Love from The Carol Burnett Show (full sketch)

[@joelangford7601]

I am a psychologist. I went to a workshop given by a rather famous psychologist who used clips from Mama's Family to demonstrate dysfunctional family dynamics. She found much truth in it, and made some profound points. To me, it is utterly hilarious, and never got the acclaim it deserved. I still can't believe Vicki Lawrence played Mama so perfectly, and Carol....well, she is a comic genius.

[@haggiefatigue2971]

SO funny that he used "The Family" clips. I've heard people say that they see their own family dysfunction in some of these skits. Me too! Lol.

I watched an interview that Vicki Lawrence talked about her role as Mama. She said she wasn't completely comfortable with playing the character. She didn't feel she could spend 30 minutes screaming at the other characters. Evidently she was able to because she was excellent in the role.

[@jumboJetPilot]

She was hysterical. And being 16 years younger than Carol Burnett - I could see how that would seem awkward!

[@BrunetteOnTheCouch]

She said that in regard to a weekly sitcom. And not playing it but the audiece's reaction. Mama in these sketches is true Mama as she was created and intended by Dick and Jenna. The Mama that was altered for consumption by those newbie sitcom viewers isn't Mama and I agree with the writers. If you didn't like the yelling you didn't like the character and maybe watch something else.

[@kurtfrancis4621]

The reason why "Mama's Family" was so funny and successful is that everybody recognizes elements of their own families in the dysfunction shown in this show. Everybody can relate to it. Art imitating life. Everyone Loves Raymond and some other shows were similar.

[@lifeofatruckerswife]

Yes!!! If you dont have people in your family like these characters...you know people in other peoples families like them...

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Yes: I feel that "Everybody Loves Raymond" is probably the closest thing to this family dynamic that's ever been on TV since Carol and her gang did these characters in the 1970's. The 1980's sitcom "Mama's Family" started out like these hilarious sketches but then changed dramatically once the show went into syndication (when they killed off Fran and brought in Iola and Bubba). Mama mellowed big time and became a completely different character. She still had her temper but she was far from the completely ornery and judgmental person we see in this video here. I wish Vicki had kept Mama mean, but when the sitcom became popular Harvey Korman convinced her to alter the personality because he believed the character would not be likable if she was totally mean and cranky all the time.

[@CaptainSpalding72]

Carol and Viki always said in interviews they had writers that hated their families. The brilliance of these sketches is they took a concept, drama first and then added some humorous one-liners.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@Logically progressive We can disagree and still compare notes, that's a good thing. That change in Vint was dramatic, no doubt. I always felt that once Vint transformed into a dolt, actor Ken Berry borrowed heavily from Don Knotts' brilliant work as Barney Fife for some of Vint's mannerisms and reactions. Like you say, Vint in the first two seasons started off kind of standoffish-- for me he was like a Joe Average, an Everyman (from the South); hardly a comical character except for a few random moments. And then in season three ... instant dingaling. Sometimes Vint's lack of brains was funny, though. It depended on each script/writer. As for Mama habitually hitting him in years 3-6 if she became peeved with him: look closely and most of the time she does very light swats. But once in a while she would really smack him in the shoulder. I enjoy the Bubba/Iola seasons but there is something so good about certain earlier episodes, like the obscene phone calls that start coming when Naomi is up for Cashier of the Month (or whatever title it was), or the show about Mama getting that job as receptionist at the Raytown Travel Agency (when she answers the phone the first time by herself, I nearly weep from laughing). Good stuff.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@Logically progressive I agree, there aren't many good sitcoms anymore. If I find *one* each year that impresses me, I am basically flabbergasted, LOL. The only recent one that completely won me over was Grace and Frankie, on Netflix. Oh, and since you were speaking of Aunt Fran (I liked the episode where Thelma replaced her pink dress with another one but it had all these tucks and things) ... You probably heard this before, but Rue was initially offered the Rose role on Golden Girls while Betty White was offered Blanche; they swapped, wisely, as Betty already played a self centered nympho in the previous decade. And Rue played something of a ditz on Maude. Regarding Bubba: I liked his character when he first started. But after a while they made him into some shallow, vain type who was no longer a hell-raiser. It was just all about girls and his hair, very boring for me. Oh, well, I still liked the series even as it changed. Beverly Archer added a lot as Iola.

[@jasonhurd4379]

Eunice's emotional pain is really pretty dark. If a lesser actress were playing her, the Family sketches could easily tip over into sentimentality and maudlin awkwardness. In an interview, Carol Burnett said that once, at the table read for the latest Family sketch, they tried it without the Southern accents, and the results were virtually too painful to bear. Without the accents, she said, it was like a family tragedy out of Ibsen or Strindberg.

In my high school days in the 1980's, nearly everyone knew about the CB Show, even us kids, especially The Family skits. I actually wrote and put on two plays for my French Club class for entertainment when we had parties at club members homes. It was all unique material...none stolen from the CB Show, but, clearly, based on the characters from the show. We had one actress who went all out to play Mama, including a hilarious dress, wig, pillow stuffed in her stomach, and great mannerisms. I wish I could find the scripts I wrote, but I do remember them. They went over so well, and were absolutely hilarious, in particular one skit that involved Eunice, Ed and Mama taking a plane trip to go to France. That was a tie in to us being all French Club members. And in one scene on the plane, Eunice was practicing her French, and she was totally mispronouncing everything, along with a heavy southern accent. It was hilarious. And then I had Mama say "I do declare, Ed, we got us a native Paris-site." That alone drew huge laughs from the audience! I LOVE The Family skits!
