It's the chaos theory that Carol was so unique with. Normally directors snap when actors goof lines, or laugh, crack up during filming. Carol, Harvey, and the rest all tried to make the others lose it. Like they had a game. But it NEVER EVER made the skit worse, it always made it better, thereby the chaos of the best possible way created the most laughs. She was brilliant and she KNEW what made people laugh!

[@jeffmartin3179]

Vicky was supposed to play the daughter. Carol decided she was better suited as the daughter so Vicky had to play Mama. And you're right, wig and granny glasses was all they had time for.

She effectively DID get an award for it. An Emmy. Back then, when a show wanted to get an individual nominated for a Emmy, they submitted just one episode for each category. For Vicki Lawrence the year she won, The Family was the main part of the episode that was submitted. (In fact, the episode was called The Family Show.) Though she also did a sketch as a telephone operator, it was clear she won based on The Family sketch.

They were a part of Carol's life. Her grandma and mother fought all the time. Her mom, drank and was a defeated actress. They lived in poverty.

[@Tre404]

Yes, that's the truth, Catherine Mathers ... Carol's own experiences influenced this sketch heavily! Have you ever seen the CBS special "Eunice" from 1982? It was a two-hour special, and really dealt with Eunice's family history from a very emotional standpoint, and flashed ahead a few years as well. It was such a sad and bittersweet show to watch. But I thoroughly recommend it. It is here at KZbin. Just search "Eunice" and you'll find it.. worth a watch!

[@AEvans36963]

Tre404 Generational dysfunction is disturbing to see, even in a comedic format. Sometimes it's hard to determine whether the tears you shed are from laughter, distress, or both. I suppose 'Eunice' and the Family sketches were Carol's way of exorcising some demons. It was brilliantly done by the actors. I loved that show.

@@ddsmith3006 I am so sorry for your health issues. I myself have emphysema and asthma. I watched my Mom with the same illness as I do and it's scary. I've taken to also watch classics from the 60's and 70's. MeTV has some great shows. My Three Sons, Dragnet(odd but I love Harry Morgan), Leave it to Beaver, and the cartoons I grew up on from 6am-7am M-F. Carol Burnett was truly INCREDIBLE! Her ability to create was amazing and her pick of Vicki Lawrence was mind boggling. I recently saw the episode where she was introduced and she was shaking she was so nervous. Vicki was so sweet yet incredibly talented and so cute. She was one of my crushes as a boy. Then when I heard she was Mama too, um that altered my view a bit...lol. They would crack each other up on stage and make the others lose it, but it never ever detracted from the skit, it made it BETTER! That is what Carol could create. Art from chaos, causing chaos for laughs, and just being herself. She was brilliant! One of the BEST EVER IF NOT THE BEST!

Southern Tragedy at its finest. "Mama's Family" was very broad and always played its audience or laughs, but there was something very deep and sad about "The Family". I think it was brilliant.

[@monilaninetynine3811]

Eunice, in particular, is a tragic character. She's so dissatisfied with her life.

[@jasonhurd4379]

Carol Burnett said that in one rehearsal, they tried it without the accents, and she said it immediately became so bleak and despairing that they couldn't continue. She said it was like something out of Ibsen or Strindberg.

[@nadyarossi5102]

Carol wanted the Chaplinesque "charwoman" to be her trademark, but Eunice was her brilliant, unforgettable, undeniable masterpiece. Pathos, humor, longing all in one amazing character.

[@aDogNamedHandsome]

Eunice IS tragic. Funny as hell and still so sad.

[@marylvaughan4868]

I wonder where Carol had to go " inside herself " to react the way she did. First female comedian that I know of that could go that deep emotionally yet still makes you laugh at the tragic moment. Lucille was a great " goof ball " kinda comedy yet she could never duplicate a performance like that. Incredible

[@2017Toy]

This show never gets old this is true comedy

[@lowbridge7070]

In the 1970s I was being raised in an abusive, dysfunctional home (parents had split up, mother had custody of us kids. She was a mentally ill, abusive monster). As a result, I turned towards watching LOTS of tv as a way to provide myself with escape and comfort from my misery. The Carol Burnett show was one of many tv shows I watched regularly in daily syndicated reruns. It really helped me to preserve what few shreds of sanity I had as well as provided me with much needed happiness, laughter and joy in an otherwise joyless existence. The Carol Burnett show was the one and only tv show whose sketches had me and my sister literally rolling on the floor, clutching our sides with laughter (especially if the sketch had Tim Conway in it. He was the best). EXCEPT for these "The Family" sketches. When Eunice yelled and/or scrunched up her face in anger, she was the exact spitting image of our mother. It was just too painful. My sister and I would sit completely stone faced through these "Family" sketches. I don't recall them eliciting a single laugh from either one of us (not even the presence of Tim Conway helped).

[@rejoyce318]

I'm sorry about your childhood. Carol Burnett lived with her grandmother (the ear tug was for her) because she, too, had family trauma growing up.

Carol is my heart & soul, but Vicki was just as amazing. She was the "junior" talent on that team, but she could deliver the best, bloodcurdling lines and stay in character. God, I wish our culture was geared toward cultivating superb, wry comedy like this. The talentless skanks of today could only dream of being this gifted. If comics were encouraged to write and perform like this, it would make people happier, and they need that. Days gone by. Days totally gone by.

[@mmjhcb]

You are so right. Comedy today is simply who can toss the grossest wisecrack. These people were TALENTED. Carol Burnett was a comedic genius. Any performers who can make this depressing family hysterically funny you know are gifted indeed. Vicki Lawrence was no Burnett, but she nailed Mama. Korman was always wonderful. I generally agree with the great comedies listed in this thread with the exception of "Seinfeld." I never found anything funny there. I could never understand its popularity, and I never will.

[@MrCherbear1990]

+RMPsumma Totally agree with you about Seinfeld...Never found any humour there either. If I want a Jewish comedic perspective I'll watch Joan Rivers...lol

I LOVED "The Family" sketches on the Carol Burnett Show, and this one in particular was my all time favorite. Watching it again after all these years and I still laugh until I cry when Mama lays into Eunice, and to see how Carol fights to keep from breaking up by Vicki Lawrence. What brilliant comedy this was, and oh, how much I miss it.
