[@bluscorpion]

Right! Vicki and Carol play off each other so well.

[@doloreserin]

I love Mama's Family, what a great show it was. I still watch it when it comes on Logo, Eunice is one of the most interesting characters, she tries so hard to please Mama, but Mama is never satisfied. My family tells me to get to the point when I'm telling a story all the time.

[@Logan-nk5id]

I LOVE YOU CAROL

I liked the mama, eunice and ed sketches on The Carol Burnett Show best. This was edgier than the watered down mamas family which came later.

[@catman518]

The Golden child, Sue Ellen, and the narcissistic abuse Mama instilled in Eunice 😂. And Ed made me laugh... Hating on the mom-in-law. Lol

And Ken Berry as the son who escaped and did well

Her name is Mary-Ellen, not "Ellen Sue," lol!

Carol Burnette was born and raised in Texas. I presume she talked originally with a Southern accent. 😊

No she wasn’t. She was raised in the Hollywood area in LA.

Sue Ellen just wanted to get away from the insane family.

[@francesbernard2445]

Having a baby at age 41 was more than I had bargained for at the time. The less help coming from me for 7 weeks and my slower pace than a 20 year old for a whole year after that too while recovering from childbirth precipitated a downwards spiral of unfortunate events for me alone only at first. For example while my one foot was slipping while sweating too much I had to shape shift into a sled for my son Jack for a bit while hanging onto him when sitting in his chair to be totting him around from room to room. Being ready for love too that evening with a sore back was hard to do. Oh well. I did recover somehow. Not well enough to compete with the younger women later though. Like after for example breaking my achilles tendon on one ankle while trying to run after one infant one the move out of our unfenced back yard next while I had no shoes on yet. Moving in with one of my 4 adult children now? Forget that noise. Something which my own mother saw through too after she fell down a flight of stairs first. While on her way to check on me once long before then. I am going to have nothing to do with that after watching more than one Carol Burnett comedy episode warning me about what that might be like. Unless they have their own self contained suite with their own bathroom and their own separate entrance to the same. Our only explanation now? Being on the tall side no matter what our age group is.

[@itoo3654]

Get help. It's sad

[@maureenterlizzi6594]

Remember when funny was funny. The garbage they dish out today is awful. Bring back just plain funny.

[@sickheadache9903]

This has been cut..it shows Eunice cleaning the Kitchen Floor, because later on Eunice brings up the fact when Mama was sleeping she cleaned the floor! I truly hate it when jerks edit these shows! Failure.

[@ddmck1972]

Ed took too much abuse and was the more ambitious of these characters. He at least owned his own business and did what he could to support his family without Eunice having to work, and they showed their unappreciation for him.

[@mattyrothsoffroadgarage8333]

The ingredients she was using to clean the bathtub wouldn't have knocked her out they would have killed her because that's the recipe for mustard gas

[@seamarie3111]

LOL, maybe that was the point? What kills mere mortals simply makes that old harpy a little tipsy? This is WAAAY before my time, like almost 20 years, but getting some good laughs in!

[@camouflageartist8897]

This is so close to real life and don't see it as comedy.

[@sharonroller8849]

Sometimes real life is comedy, if you can't laugh at some of the things you will just cry too much, more fun to laugh

[@Perfectpearl]

There’s no point. What’s the moral of the story? It started the same way it began. No solution.

[@dallasgarvin4116]

Ed was on the spectrum… and that’s okay.

[@Perfectpearl]

This was annoying All that screaming and arguing over dumb 💩 every episode. I’m going to watch momma family with vint and bubba Harper
