Vicki Lawrence (Mama) was about 20 years younger than Carol Burnett. She's 74 now and Carol is still going strong at 90!

[@strawman6085]

They need to watch when Carol Burnett plays Queen Elizabeth. That was gold.

[@KBH27]

the Palace guard

[@marlasgro4995]

hi guys! These actors are hUGE LEGENDS in america. Carole Burnette and her crew were highly respected actors of comedy. Now they are older. 1970s and they used to break character and laugh and cry if something was improvised. They were in front of a live audience. This show became MAMAS FAMILY later as a spin off from the CAROLE BURNETTE SHOW. legends of comedy.

[@moonstone1159]

This show was from the 70s and was performed in front of a audience. Carole Bernette is a legend in comedy.

[@neuvocastezero1838]

The way Carol threw herself into the Eunice character with every gesture, expression, and voice inflection was brilliant.

[@passqualecaiazza7728]

Loved the show back when aired and now. This is the show that got us Mamas Family. Every time we played games as a kids, someone always gets mad.

[@gmunden1]

LOL, my sister used to bail out of a game whenever she was losing.

[@daddy2299]

You should check out these characters playing the board game Sorry. Definitely the most popular skit of the show. It spawned a sitcom of the skit called Mama's Family.

[@inthedarkanonymous5625]

It wasn’t like we sat and watched. More like they came into the living room and lived with us for an hour.

[@zimjun7]

Good 'un!!

[@davidd6759]

If you guys know the story of Gone with the Wind - she did a skit called Went with the Wind. Hilarious!

[@gmunden1]

This episode was late 70's or early 80's. And , yes, these are original clips from the show. Color TV was common during these two decades. Carol Burnett is from Texas, so much of the accents and dialog is based on life in Texas. The Carol Burnett Show aired every Saturday night and filmed before a live studio audience on CBS from Hollywood.

[@construct3]

October 25, 1975.

[@kennydavis2276]

I was 8 years old. The Carol Burnette Show and Lawrence Welk with his beautiful ladies and Champaign bubbles were Saturday night shows to watch while Mamma ironed and layed out our clothes for Sunday morning church. That was many moons ago.

[@TheRatsCast]

The Carol Burnett Show ran from 1967 to 1978; so it was always in color. I was born two years earlier; it would be another 5 years before I was able to watch it, which we did every Sunday night.

[@johndalessandro6433]

I was a kid watching it. I thought it was Friday. Ty for that. If i remember Mary Tyler more came on first, then Carol Burnette, then Bob Newhart. I would fall alseep during Newhart and my Ma would tuck me into bed. My Dad had left us so for this time it was just her and I. This was our night to laugh together and Bond. This show is so special to me. I miss it greatly.

[@bryanspindle4455]

Carol Burnett was born in Texas but grew up in Hollywood.

[@rodgerbroadway5555]

I loved this show growing up. If you haven't watched the skit "The Dentist", watch it. It's one of the funniest skits they did.

[@lisagilbert542]

Carol Burnett. Gone with the wind. Funny one too

[@jjjones8609]

The “sorry” game family episode on the carol burnett show is a better fighting dynamic of the family.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

This was a spinoff sitcom called Mama's family' made up with the characters they devised for sketches on Carols program. People like the characters so much that the made this weekly sitcom, which was set up like normal sitcoms, not like Carols multi sketch program. That was like SNL is now. Varied sketches & acts.

[@mildredpierce4506]

This was not the spinoff. “The family“ started on the Carol Burnett show. Mama‘s family was a spin off of the Family.

[@elisabethn.16]

"The Family" was a running sketch done several times a season, about Eunice and her family and her unfulfilled dreams. Often guest stars like Betty White and Dick Van Dykewere written in. British-born Roddy McDowall played Philip, a writer completely misunderstood and undervalued by his family.

[@darrinlindsey]

This was spun off into a stand alone sit-com. In one of the episodes, they did another skit similar to this, called "The Elephant Story". Dick Van Dyke was in it, in replacement of Harvey Korman (the tall guy). In it, Tim Conway (The short guy) makes everyone break character with his "Elephant Story". If you search for it, you'll find that there's actually two versions of it, on the same video. One was a dress rehearsal, where Tim got them all to break character. But, they got through it. The second was a taping in front of an audience. In between the two, the studio manager went to each of the dressing rooms, to tell the players that "Everything was good, and Tim has changed the story... Good Luck". It turned out to be one of the funniest, most talked about skits to ever be aired on TV.

[@sdv73168]

Can't believe they guessed this episode from the 50s 🤔😄 missed it by 25 to 30 years 😁

[@CookieCaspari]

It was the early 70s

[@user-EricWatson55]

You should check out the "Elephant Story" sketch with Tim Conway on "The Carol Burnett Show".

[@breckrichardson390]

No, this show ran from 1967 to 1978 and was always in color.

[@cstarv]

One of my favorite shows, so funny. Tim Conway on this show is so funny.

[@bookwoman53]

I used to watch the in reruns. The lady who played Mama was the youngest of the four actors. She wore the grey wig and padding on her torso. Her name is Vicki Lawrence and she was hired to play Carol’s younger sister in the early sketches. They are both redheads. It turns out that about a year after the show began young Vicki sent in a fan letter to Carol.

[@steelers6titles]

Even worse is when the Family tries to play "Sorry!". That one is a classic. SORRY!!! lol

[@jamesryan6008]

Imagine my disappointment when I bought Sorry and discovered no bell in the box.

[@steelers6titles]

@@jamesryan6008 lol

[@williamjones6031]

Every Sunday evening my childhood family gathered around the tv and enjoyed Carol and her friends. The best part is that it was recorded live, so when they (especially Tim) would try to get the others to crack up was hilarious.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bartonbagnes4605]

This was filmed using a technique called Technicolor. Films and shows filmed using this technique are always easy to identify because of their vivid colors, especially reds. For example, The Wizard Of Oz was filmed half in black and white, and half in Technicolor, which worked especially well because most movies were still black and white, so the extra vivid colors worked perfectly for the fantasy world of Oz.

[@philpaine3068]

Incidentally, Vicki Lawrence who played "Mama" was actually sixteen years younger than Carol Burnett. She relished this reversed expectation, and apparently loved her "Mama" character. I remember at least one sketch on the show that was even funnier than this one, and I wasn't a regular viewer. It was only when I travelled in the American South (I'm Canadian) that I realized how plausible these characters were. Sketch comedy is funniest when people behave in what at first seems improbable and extreme behaviour, which on reflection you realize is exactly how people DO behave.

[@firefighterchick]

Yes, this happens in I'll bet all families.😂 At least they didn't throw anything. 😅. I think that it was somehow redone in HD and that's why the colors are so crisp. I'm guessing by the furniture and outfits that this is early 70's because that's also when these characters first appeared.

[@construct3]

October 25, 1975.

[@raykarr6062]

Also, I think CBS liked to turn up the color more than the other networks. They had those Philips color cameras, which were better than RCA's.

[@sueingram5157]

I'm American. But I love British comedy, as well. Benny Hill & Are You Being Served?are 2 of my favorites.

[@Rebel9668]

This would have been in the 1970's I believe. Some network shows used to put vibrant colors to the point of saturation on the screen to "show off" that they were broadcasting in color. I used to call it "un-living color", lol. Another show that was very color saturated as I recall was The Lawrence Welk Show. I would not recommend you watch it though unless you want to see a lot of folks pretending to be just sickly sweet to one another while singing. Personally, I couldn't get up fast enough to change the channel when it came on, but to each their own I guess as it was another show that lasted many years.

[@Grace-ms7un]

Watching another family have a relatable arguement is so funny 😂

[@mildredpierce4506]

The Carol Burnett show ran from 1967 until 1978 and it has always been in color. Color television basically came out in the very early 60s.

[@oliverortiz5226]

Another great entertainer. This was definitely filmed in color which hecame the norm after 1965. This was a recurring skit which transcended the show in so many ways. It later spawned the sitcom starring Vickie Lawrence called "Mama's Family."

[@stillracer2514]

The mother, played by a young Vicky Lawrence, had her own show called Mama's Family.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

funny thing here is that Vicki Lawrence, playing Mama, is actually the youngest of the group, but played Mama on this and a spin off show for years.

[@zimjun7]

Gad! That 1940's hair-do of "Eunice!" hahaha!! I know.... that's the point.

[@steelers6titles]

Several famous guest stars dropped by the Family: Roddy McDowall, Joanne Woodward, Betty White, and Maggie Smith (as Bubba's teacher). Tennessee Williams with a laugh track.

[@moltenmagmalava3737]

This was spun off into its own show called Mama's family.

[@warpcorebreach2186]

Bob Mackie, famous costume designer, designed all those colorful costumes. His most famous costume in his entire career was from the Carol Burnett skit 'Went With the Wind'. You really should check out the spin-off sitcom they made called Mama's Family, based on The Family skits. It's also classic.

[@sheilalopez3983]

Passive-agression bounced off the walls of the home of this family.

[@PappaPurps79]

Vicki Lawrence (especially when she had her own show, Mommas Family, was amazing. She was like the white madea but, ya know, funny.

[@mariacavanaugh1010]

Vicki Lawrence had a career in music, her song The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia was featured on Carol Burnett.

[@jtg3765]

Please keep up the Carol Burnett "The Family" episodes. They are all so classic!

[@hollytooker507]

Carol grew up loving movies and her show often had movie parodies. Do check out “Went With The Wind” featuring the brilliant costumes by Bill Mackie. (Also still with us as is Vicki.) He gave Mrs Wiggins her posture with that skirt and adds the perfect touch to that hilarious send-up.

[@jtg3765]

The Carol Burnett Show is an American variety/sketch comedy television show that originally ran on CBS from September 11, 1967, to March 29, 1978, for 279 episodes. The family sketches debuted stating in season 7, so color television was well in vogue by then. You also need to remember that color was tacky and flamboyantly used in the 70s.

[@construct3]

This show aired October 25, 1975. It was in color. It's possible that the color was boosted along the way, but those are the right colors.

[@mildredpierce4506]

Two of my favorite episodes are no-frills airline and no-frills gas station

[@Eowyn187]

Carol and Vicki both were on a major gameshow called Password, many times throughout the years. Both intelligent women. Two of the best players in the big, final round. I watch old eps here in KZbin.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

OMG I just saw Carol on Steven Colberts late night talk show tonight. She is 90 now & acting in a new series on Apple TV called 'Palm Royale', which is a comedy/drama set in 1969. Carol plays the evil matriarch who has secrets on everyone & secrets of her own, I guess. She is an icon. The sketches you guys have watched, usually star Tim Conway & Harvey Corman.

[@warrengwonka2479]

Carol celebrated her 90’th year with a show last year. Her friend, Julie Andrews joined her and sat next to her.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

NOOOO this was in the 70's and all TV shows were in color. The bright colors are probably more due to the bright colors of those days. The setting here was for a modern, lower income family in the mid-west so that is why it looks more 50's, they never got to update their home much.

[@mildredpierce4506]

I’m 60 years old and I have not once ever heard of or seen anyone playing charades.

[@annfrost3323]

I'm so old I remember when Carol Burnett was looking for an actress to play her mother. They picked an actress that resembled her but she was younger than Carol. There you have her, Mama was younger than her and wore a white wig and those shoes.

[@virginiarobbins7539]

The spin-off show MAMA'S FAMILY was from this episode.. It was so cute and funny..I bought the series

[@steelers6titles]

Don't push me, old lady.

[@danabe3220]

Carol Burnett was on Saturday nights not Sundays. We watched her for years. Saturday night was Comedy Night on CBS in those years.

[@andrewstevenjo9621]

Man, you guys are digging up the classics. Grew up in the 70s watching this show like a religion.

[@DavidDrouant]

Literally,this came on on Sundays for me growing up

[@hemiglos]

Never cared for the family sketches, but her movie parodies were sensational.

[@Eowyn187]

The first televised showing of a dysfunctional family. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jamesm.3967]

Gold. Over the top comedy 😂.

[@general-cromwell6639]

Well...there is the elephant sketch, which is great and then the Dentist sketch...any of the "Old man" sketches...the "Hitler Puppet"always good. Make sure you preface your searchs with Carol Burnett, otherwise...things go sideways quickly. ;-) Anyways, I've watched all of these so many times, but, when I'm down and need a laugh, they never fail to deliver. All the best to you and yours. EDIT NOTE: The Official Channel is here. www.youtube.com/@CarolBurnettShow/videos Cheers.

Same, but there are some exceptions...and the Carol Burnett Show is one. The Red Skelton show is another. I used to practically roll on the floor laughing at both.

[@oldmanjimh3165]

@@Gwennedd God Bless as Red would say. great show. Both fairly 'clean' shows.

[@colibri1]

This wasn't from the 1950s. It was from the 1970s, 1975 for this sketch. The characters' clothes probably make it look older than it is, because Ed (the taller man) is wearing clothes that were fashionable more in the 1940s and early '50s and the younger woman (Eunice, played by Burnett) is wearing a dress and a hairstyle from the 1930s, though with shoes from the late 60s/early 70s, for a really comic-looking mix of styles. (Costume designer Bob Mackie was responsible for that. He took a floor-length garden-party dress from the 1930s with a plunging back, cut it off at knee-length, and then paired it with clunky-looking late-60s/early-70s sandals in a bright white patent vinyl for really awkward proportions.) The older woman, though, is dressed like a lot of older women dressed in the 70s, a waistless "shift"-style dress in a style popular in the 1960s and a short, curly, "blue rinse" hairstyle that was a continuation of the short, curly hairstyles of the 1950s. One of my grandmothers in the seventies dressed exactly like that and both my grandmothers in the seventies had hair like that. And this wasn't colorized, since it was long after color television had become the norm.

[@ellenjones7819]

Good reaction. I hope you will eventually react to the "Undercover Cops" sketch from that show. Carol Burnett isn't in that sketch, but the guys are hilarious.

[@lynnie6633]

These characters are know as "the family". There are so many more hilarious skits with the family, like playing board game Sorry, Monopoly and to throw in a few more.... The Rehearsal, Mama's Birthday, Mickey's Apartment, and my very favorite Brother Larry at Christmas. Check em out if you can!
