MAMA'S FAMILY (1983-1990) Cast THEN and NOW, Who Passed Away After 40 Years?

[@shannonmurray4311]

This was back when families would sit in the living room together. And watch television as a family I have a lot of memories sitting in the living room and watching this show. Good memories from glad I was raised when I was raised wouldn't want to be raised in today's world.

[@patriciabarkley735]

I say that all the time. We were blessed to have grown up back then. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. The children and a lot of their parents, from these times, should be so lucky as to grow up back then. I am 71 now and still have a crush on Bubba. I love his hair back then. 😹😹😹😹

[@brendajohnson4837]

I absolutely loved this show... I use to watch it with my family and we were constantly in stitches laughing so hard.. They were all good we thought. How they could do this show so well without laughing, I don't know.. I'm sure it took them several takes!!! I loved mama... Betty was so good playing dumb characters in bith this show and Golden Girls... Enjoyed the memories, thank you for showing this!!😅

[@paulettelamontagne6992]

me too

[@Robert08010]

Betty didn't "play dumb" in this show at all. She was smart, witty and very self centered. And only appeared a couple of times.

[@waleskarivera3858]

Wow I couldn’t stop crying remembering all this Great GREAT actors . This people had been putting a smile on our faces since I was a kid myself. Now I’m 56, and all I can remember is watching the Carol Burnett show and then came MAMAS PLACE. How beautifully awesome was to sit dwn and watch their programs with the family. Those were the great OLD DAYS. We don’t have much of those anymore. Traditions had been stored away in a far far away closet some where. How wonderful was to have them in our lives. R.I.P. Old Friend.! See you on the OTHER SIDE.🙏🏽💋🫶🏼😘👍🏽☺️😢

[@MaureenSchorsch]

Perhaps YOUR family is gone from these days. That's your choice.

[@kathleenwassum7712]

I just Loved them All! But there is No Doubt that Carol Burnett, Harvey Corman and the lead, dear Mama herself stole the show!! I am 72 and I Never Missed an Episode!!!❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🥰

[@jeffreyplummerhtd4life740]

I used to watch this show everyday back when I was younger. It’s sad to see everyone I grew up watching passing away. But we don’t live forever and we all go back from which we came.

[@Cheshyre.]

Only Christ can keep us forever, but you're right.

[@terrytrammell7388]

Actually I loved all the characters and I still watch the reruns. This is definitely one of my favorite sitcoms.

[@RNMom424]

I loved the Mama's Family gang, still do actually! But very likely they all would agree that Tim Conway was the cherry atop the whipped cream atop the sundae! I wonder if anyone thought to count how many times he cracked them up??

[@debbietibbetts5769]

I loved them all. What a show it was. A good night for laughter. Always love watching the clips on my phone.

[@waynetubbs3809]

What about Karen Argound who played as Sonya Harper, The guy who played as Roy Harper, Reverend, Luann?

[@jamesseabolt5915]

Thelma and Bubba were the two main reason's I watched Mama"s Family. Thelma was so hilarious and Bubba was..... well You know.......😘

[@AliciaAngeleri1]

I wonder if Bubba knows his impact on the gay community 🤔🤣 alot of gay men I know just loved him 🫠🥵😅

[@jamesseabolt5915]

@@AliciaAngeleri1 Yeah I was just wondering who the casting guy was? Had to be gay. And those jeans just kept getting tighter and tighter toward the end of the series. Yeah I was glued to the tv set. Lol

What a treat to get to see this!!! Thank TREMENDOUSLY for putting this together!!! I loved this show❤️😇🐶

[@barbarawittstock-bc2te]

[@vickiethompson9245]

Harvey Korman's main role in the show was as Eunice's long-suffering husband, Ed Higgins. No one remembers Alistair Quince!!

[@MaureenSchorsch]

Who said no one remembers? We do......idiot!

[@Laura-qn3tv]

You forgot Sonya she played Buzz’s sister but awesome job nonetheless

[@HollywoodInside1960s]

Absolutely! Sonya, who played Buzz's sister, also made a fantastic contribution to the show. The entire cast did a wonderful job, and their performances made the show even more enjoyable. It's great to appreciate the efforts of all the actors involved in creating such a memorable series.

[@marieibarra8009]

I absolutely love Mama! she's my favorite character hands down. That woman is hilarious!

[@nelda7071360]

Great cast! It's hard to choose just one as a favorite.

[@ShirleyDSmith-og5zf]

They All My Favorite Was A Great Family Show For Families To Laugh And Enjoy Cherished Memories For Alot Of Families Thanks For Sharing

[@fantasyqwest]

1)No info abt Sonya, Vinton’s daughter? 2) I always loved how they had the running joke abt how HUGE Iola’s mom had to have been, even though we never saw her 3) This was my favorite rerun show to watch back in the mid to late 90s when I was in middle school ❤❤❤❤

[@QuiltingPammy]

My husband enjoyed watching the re-runs of this oh so funny program until he passed a year ago. Thanks for the memories!

[@amberstreetfilms]

😢 Sorry for your loss.

[@zongyang779]

Oh no! She was funny and fun. May you RIP. Your show bright my day

[@mamalillycat8756]

A little info for people who may not have known, Mama's family was a skit on the Carol Burnett show. It was so popular that they did a show of it's own. You see Unis and Ed, Carol Burnett and Havey Corman at the start of the series, but "moved away" as so did Ellen' "Betty White. That was decided before the series was made. Also, Fran Crowley, Rue McClanahan dies on the show." FAKE OF Course!" and they changed the kids. First they were the children of Vince . I think they went to college and Bubba being the child of Unis and Ed's was in trouble with the law and couldn't leave the town on some probation. That's why he stays with his Grandma. I thought I was older than the kids. Wrong! I'm 55. Watched the Carok Burnett in rerun and when on air and watched Mama's family religiously. I know all of the episodes and Love dearly both shows! I washed they would make show like them!

[@wills6936]

Carol Burnett played "Eunice". 😊

[@brandishearer12]

I knew that. I remember that skit from Carol Burnett show.

[@danawalker9417]

@@wills6936 she was originally supposed to play Mama and guest was supposed to play Eunice

[@edwardbloecher4563]

Eunice and Ed!! Lol great skits

[@jwhuggins]

There was also a pilot film for the show (after the Carol Burnett Show ended its run) in which Ken Berry (Vinton) played another son "Phillip". In the film, "Mama" actually dies in the end, and Eunice (who'd also been left by Ed) is convinced to finally go off to pursue her dreams on her own. I think it originally aired in 1983.

[@angeluvsvid]

I can't believe how young she is and played Carols mother lol 😅

[@lindarobison8425]

I watch it every night still I wish tv was still like this

[@kathleendoell2119]

If it wasn't for the AMAZING talent of Tim Conway that show wouldn't have been nearly as funny. It spawned that blooper that had us falling off our chairs. Nuff said

[@HollywoodInside1960s]

Absolutely! Tim Conway's comedic talent was absolutely incredible and his contributions to the show were immeasurable. His unique style of humor and impeccable timing brought so much laughter to the audience. From his hilarious characters to his unforgettable improvisations, Tim Conway's presence on the show truly elevated the comedy to another level. And yes, that blooper you mentioned is a classic and still has us laughing uncontrollably. He was a true comedic genius, and his legacy continues to bring joy to fans of the show.

Dancing with Ken Berry back [n 1967 was a pleasure.

[@esterdrass4964]

I loved 'the family' on the Carol Burnette show. We used to sit at watch it on tv every week. Then, I was thrilled about Mama's family and loved all the cast. I was also watching All My Children at the same time and Naomi - Dorothy Lyman - was also on that show at the same time. She would fly between NYC and LA to film the two shows. So, I saw her play two different characters at the same time. I still watch Mama's Family today because its always on some channel at some point. I just loved the 80s tv shows.

[@laurengoldstein7662]

I loved this show!

Vicky Lawrence was awesome as Mama! But the greatest one was Tim Conway, when they did the Mama's skittish on The Carol Burnette Show. Omg🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious!
