Carol Burnett is a National Treasure, a comic genius. And she was not afraid to surround herself with other comic genius. And never afraid to let them shine also.

[@LittleBlueOwl318]

THIS!! This is why she's an absolute legend. She knew that in order to make her own light shine she didn't have to dim the lights of other actors. Teamwork just makes everyone shine that much brighter.

Vicki Lawrence's acting ability is astounding .....she is like a seasoned pro, considering how she came on the scene with Carol Burnett as a teen. Her comedic timing is impeccable as if she had been in the business for decades. Vicki was born a pro.

She has referred to her years on the Carol B show as "The Harvard School of Comedy."

Exactly!! I met her once, and she was as sweet as could be! She was so humble and thanked me for watching the show. I told her how much I loved “Mama’s Family “ 😂 and she said she had a ball on both shows🤣

[@Puddycat00]

Do u realize how much these ppl practice? And how many hours of tutoring she had? Good acting doesn’t come easy. She had to work VERY hard and practice for endless hours. Carol helped her alot too. Carol is the true talent here. Harvey too and what’s his name,the guy who plays Mickey. I can’t remember his name most of the time.

[@cajun5957]

And the most amazing thing is she got her start with Mrs. Burnett just by sending a picture of herself to show how much she looked like Mrs. Burnett. Too bad my life didn’t go that way considering how much people said I looked like Mr. Charles Bronson. Guess I should ‘HAVE’ mailed a picture of myself too ha ha

[@LittleBlueOwl318]

@@BenjiOrthopedic Carol saw Vickie's talent from the start. The producers weren't happy with her at first and called her "rough". Carol defended her and said "Yes, a DIAMOND in the rough!" and insisted they just give her some time. The rest is history. Carol taught her VERY well. Vickie also said Tim Conway and Harvey Korman contributed a lot, too, and gave her such great advice and direction.

Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Harvey Corman, Lyle Wagner & Vicki Lawrence worked excellent together! This was not only excellent acting but clean fun for the whole family. Shows of today simply don't measure up! This show and the characters are legends in their own time & are sorely missed.

The character development, combined with the actors who portrayed them, the writers and set creators, just flat out worked together perfectly. I was a young teen in the 70s when this came out and even at that age, I thoroughly enjoyed episodes with mamma and company. The elephant story was one of the all time best TV moments.
