This was during the syndication version. Too bad Ellen didn't come around more. I know Betty was on Golden Girls, but maybe she could've done both.

[@curtyeomans8446]

I think this was her last appearance on the show , and it right at the beginning of the syndicated run because that was around the same time when Golden Girls began (hence why Rue McClanahan’s character was killed off)

All that makeup on Betty was to make her look younger I assume.

Ellen looks almost as old as Mama in this scene.

[@amyj4071]

Vicki was literally in her early 20s when she first started playing Thelma on the carol Burnett show. Carol and Betty were already a little seasoned with age so that’s why

[@ericandy88]

The only time Ellen made an appearance on the syndicated run. I am guessing Betty's commitment to THE GOLDEN GIRLS prevented her from appearing more. I may be spoiled from watching Betty play a sweet character on THE GOLDEN GIRLS, but I never much liked the conceited Ellen on here.

[@suzycreamcheesez4371]

I'm the other way around. I wish they hadn't made Rose quite so stupid. Ellen rocks

[@sha11235]

True, I wish she could've done more. Even though Betty was popular and could've had the clout to do it, maybe she decided not to. A talent.

[@good03boy]

No Eunice either. Carol Burnett was mad at Vicki Lawrence for doing the syndicated Mamas Family because it was produced by Carol's ex husband, Joe Hamilton. That's why Carol never appeared as Eunice on the syndicated Mamas Family.

[@a.b.sproductionsllc]

Stephen Short Really? Well the syndicated years were GREAT without Eunice. I mean, Carol Burnett was good at the character, but it would get stale after awhile with her continuing bickering. At least Mama and Naomi had moments of niceness in the syndicated years.

[@buckeyeschmave]

My guess has always been that the show reached out to Betty White and she agreed to come back for one final appearance to put a bow on her and Thelma's relationship. The syndicated version was so tightly centered on the main characters that even a character as familiar as Ellen almost seemed out of place and everybody involved probably knew this was the last time Ellen would appear, even though she was mentioned for the rest of the series. This is one of my favorite syndicated episodes because it's pretty much the final substantial connection between the old and new versions. I always wished the syndicated years would have done more to incorporate more of the NBC version, including Buzz and Sonya returning occasionally.

It suited Ellen well, though. She was always trying to be bigger and better than what she really was.

Amen. Awful makeup. Unless Ellen was supposed to be at death's door. And to the best of my recollection, a "fanny tuck" doesn't qualify as a life-saving procedure.
