There never will be shows like this again. I'm thankful to have grown up in these times when tv was good and actors didn't have to cuss every other word. We had the best music...people could actually sing. It's great to still watch them and pretend for a moment...it's the good days.
The Carol Burnett Show is a WINNER, and it took a long time in coming for T.V. to get wise to find out that Carol knew more of what the audience would want to see, instead of the T.V. Executives that think they know everything !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@jeffcurrie123 I mean that's fair. Mama's Family was my introduction too! I think it was on Ion television? If you're anything like me you probably didn't see it because sitcoms are easier to put into syndication and reruns. Variety shows are a different horse. But I could also be entirely wrong. The point is, there's no shame in being introduced to something later. Celebrate that you found it at all!
Carol is reliving the alcoholic bickering of her youth in the family sketches. She grew up hearing the arguments and the way to escape was to watch movies and dream of being in them . As an adult she used humor to deal with it. She put herself in to these sketches, and then the last segment of her show she re- enacts a movie . She put herself in to her variety hour. It was known that she insisted on a calm happy set with no unpleasantness. She turned her unhappy childhood in to a productive show making people laugh . Carol is a saint ! She saved her child from drugs only to lose her to lung cancer. She’s had a wonderful life even though she faced obstacles that could’ve soured her view of life. She chose to make the best of the hand she was dealt with with love and laughter! I admire Carol Burnett very very much . An example for all of us! Thank you Carol.
len welch thought the same thing, many of these family sketches are very comedic but the raw feelings expressed in the dialogue is very real, almost every family has had these types of arguments, i'm not sure how carol learned to see the humor in those traumatic events but these skits are a brilliant contrast between humor and deep sadness.
I've never found Mama's Family all that funny (I don't like arguing), the exception being the Mickey (Conway) improv about the 2 Siamese elephants - which is hysterical. However, I LOVE almost every other sketch she, Harvey, Conway, Lawrence and various guests did on her shows, and I grew up with them. I can admire Lucille Ball's work in the early days of television a decade before Carol, but I've always though Carol Burnett was far funnier than Lucy ever was. I frequently watch several hours of Carol Burnette skits while I am working on other things, and I rarely skip any of them. Thank you for mentioning her history as she certainty has overcome many obstacles and made huge contributions to comedy.
My family wasnt on drugs or the drink but we were southern with a mama (I called her nannie), her 5 adult kids and I was the grandson. And it was all big lunches and dinners and love and laughs and then sure enough EVERYTIME, nannie would end up picking a bit too hard and now they are all fussing and yelling and I'm laughing in the corner and then not 20 minutes later it's all "well I just love ya baby", "I love you too mama"...theyd leave and nannie would turn and say "they make my leg hurt. Oh where did I go wrong".. And I'd lose it. It was LITERALLY The Family/Mama's family.
How sad to have had to put up with losers during her childhood, but so good that she was able to channel it all into edgy humour. A great lady, and a great comedienne!
Shannon Liska I agree with you about Lucy . Humor was carols escape . Elaine Stritch ‘s famous line is that in an instant in your day , with all of life’s stresses , humor can completely in an instant start your day over . Some reach for a drink or a drug but these don’t work because it chases your soul if you use it for a crutch every day . Humor is free if charge , only good consequences .I think Carol deep inside when she was young somehow made a decision “ Nope ! I’m not going down the way the rest around me are , I’m going to be happy dammit “. More and more I find happiness to be a decision rather than a pipe dream. Acting silly is the best belly laugh at no ones expense . Only the truly funny can do it . Lucy and Jim Carey did this . Eunice reacts like a 4 year old and when she’s petty or hurt from resentment we as adults identify this feeling but we’ve learned to circumvent these feelings . We watch Eunice and can relate to the times we’ve felt these emotions but to watch an adult behave this way magnified makes it hilarious because of the ridiculousness of our ego’s . That child is still in all of us and laughing at it relieves the pain of it .
I still remember my mom getting me to watch The Family sketches reruns when I was a kid. Seeing her crack up was hysterical so glad I found them again. Miss you mom!
The lettering on the window is Acme Hardware, not Central. I love that Harvey confused it and then kept with it throughout, and Vicki kept it consistent.
Caribbean Roots Glad it was preserved so you could enjoy it. America had energy, money, and the belief in striving for excellence back then. Don't guess we will ever see those days again, but then, that is up to you young folks.
There will never be another era of television like this. It's so natural, and the characters are believable. And they actually memorize their lines, instead of staring off in the space looking at cue cards. Nevertheless, did anybody else notice that the name of the hardware store was acme hardware, but they kept on talking about acme hardware being the one down the street?
I am so thankful that all of these people (the actors) were a part of our world. They brought so many laughs and happiness to the depressed and the not-so-depressed people of the world:)! We all love you forever and a day!
Tim Conway brought much enjoyment to my life. He's in the last days of his life now, and his family is bickering over his care. A sad end for a wonderful man. Thank you, Mr. Conway, for all the laughs.
Didn’t help matters that Eunice brings attention to the stopper being in her purse when she threatens to ram it down Mama’s throat! Ed doesn’t even notice that or respond. But then again, he doesn’t even notice that he’s got the wrong name on his store window! 😂😂😂
Legend comedians ❤❤ I cried when the C. B. Show went off TV. Well hell in the 303 it was C.B. Dukes of Hazzard etc. Brightened my Horizons musically ALSO❤😮
This is comedy perfection. They need to release a DVD set with all "The Family" sketches. The writing and acting is better than most sitcoms on TV today.
LAtvFan -- I have 28 of the 33 Family sketches taped on DVD , when I watch them , I can only watch 3 of them in one sitting ! These sketches are timeless, they hold up today . Rest of her show Apia of its time . sNL kinda took over being more edgy than Carol but that’s because it was more of an adult show (SNL- Saturday night live) but the family sketches were very adult. carol was used to hearing this since she grew up hearing her family ( alcoholics ) bicker. She didn’t let it ruin her , she maintained her ideals of love and respect. Absolutely no one in show business has One even snarky comment about Carol. She made it a priority that as an adult she refused to live in the climate she grew up with . Every celebrity she worked with praises Carol for her kindness and consideration. Vickie, Tim, Harvey have all said carol never hogged air time for her show, that she would make sure each co- star had enough funny lines, actually giving her co- stars some of her funny lines if she felt they didn’t have enough. I think the world of her. Egoless , kind, and used humor to diffuse life’s downs. She once said that if your having a bad day ,you can change the complexion of your day in one minute using humor. Beautiful !
@@lenwelch2195 hi there from Massachusetts. Did you record them on DVD or buy them? 😂😂😂I've seen them all years ago but I am 61 now and it's just like watching them for the first time. 😂

"You just shut up, or I'll take that little rubber stopper out of your purse and ram it down your throat!" Family angst and dysfunction at its hilarious best.
It is in this time frame (10:53-11:00) where Carol Burnett as Eunice Harper-Higgins reminds me a lot of my late Aunt (who was my mother’s sister. They both have the same fire in their eyes, they both facially were very similar. They were both born around the same time, and were both born in Texas-same as I was.

The Carol Burnett show was the best show ever it always makes me laugh but for some reason it also makes me cry I don’t know why they’ll never be a wonderful show like this ever again these people were so fun to watch love you all
Vicki and Carol both lost it for a few seconds. This is the only time I've seen them do this except for the time Mama told Eunice she had cobwebs in the windmills of her mind. We need more of this.
And Tim Conway just has to walk in and soon enough everyone else is trying to hide their smiles and laughs. What a great bunch of comedians. We will never see their like again.
Love Carol Burnett, reminds me weeknights family time, we watched and laughed together, for it never contained, the languages that would worried my parents. LOVE ALL OF THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are so right, I really miss those days. Now, you never know what they're going to say or show on "family programs", it's anything goes, anytime..even the commercials..it was awful when my kids were young and having erectile dysfunction meds and condom commercials on during prime time..that's just not right, in my opinion..
I so agree with you Cynthia even the commercial are so Mind-Blowing !!!, the kid's show are too open mind, in my belief, hard to grow up natural, these T.V. shows come with a kit, hahahahha, HORRIBLE. Family shows, sugar hard to find where you are enjoy all together. Have a great weekend :) Love my Carol Burnett show :)!!!!!!
According to the Mickey's Apartment sketch, all he had growing up was an abusive aunt, and he ran away from home at 14. ...Of course, Mother Harper still couldn't care less...
I love how they try not to laugh at each other. The show was live, wasn't it?This show was the Seinfeld of its time. It was that good then and it's true today. These 4 have such chemistry.
I had a friend who was as talented as Carol and is funny and her mother always reminded me of Mama, only my friend's mother was nicer. It was just the way she talked. So funny, to just think about it now, how much my friend and her mother were like Carol and Mama. :)
"I like your blue hair!" "Give me that phone, you hussy!" "I am going to the Waldo, Mama, and if you don't want to come, you can climb a tree!" Eunice is also hilarious every time she gets mad & squints her eyes. Lol! I love this skit!
HEr Comedy was Fun n Family Fun,.. today all they want to do is Curse n Insult politicians n each other in a mean way,.. Love Old Comedy,.. Wish it would come back,...

Still funny to watch Ed say "Welcome to Central Hardware" and refer the customer to Acme Hardware for cloth tape ... even Mama mentions she usually shops at Acme ... when the HUGE window behind him clearly says "ACME HARDWARE" in giant letters.
"You got good color, Mother Harper. Like your blue hair!" That seems to be one of Tim's ad libs. Vicki, Carol, and Harvey were trying hard not to break up!
+SymphonyBrahms Now, I've watched this particular scene on UA-cam for years and I NEVER ever noticed their reactions to that line til you pointed it out, you sure are right! They're all trying very hard to keep from laughing. Thanks for pointing that out, it's awesome!
With Eunice the way she is in this skit it makes perfect sense that Ed left her in later seasons. Totally believable even if she does treat everyone badly.
Eunice was always good to Mama. Mama was the bitch queen from hell who complained about everything Eunice said or did. She danced on air though whenever she saw Ellen who visited her once every 5 years or so, and stayed 5 minutes. No wonder her sons never visit.
@@scootergurl48 I agree, Eunice was treated badly by her selfish mother. Eunice was always trying to please her family but never succeeded. Her mother and Ellen were mean to her.
Steven MacPhail Awwww Steven, if you appreciate these wonderful videos, you shouldn't be alone for long! I'm alone too, but these hilarious clips sure makes life worth living!!
I love that the window clearly says "ACME HARDWARE," yet Ed welcomes the charming young lady to "Central Hardware," and not long after Mama complains how Ed's selection of stoppers are inferior to that of "Acme hardware, where I usually shop!" I think Ed mentions it again when he suggests to the woman she try Acme Hardware downtown for cloth tape, which he doesn't carry. Deliberate gag or-? And of course, the Japanese Rabbit Traps we hear mentioned in other Ed and Eunice skits, I love it!
@@CrashingCrockery I only noticed the Japanese Rabbit Traps being on sale there recently. I only heard Eunice mention it, which I thought was the only callback on that joke.
@@sha11235 ha ha I think over the span of several seasons of Carol Burnett, the rabbit traps are mentioned at least twice, maybe a third time! Unrelated: have you ever seen Eunice goes to a Fancy Restaurant? I watch that one at least once a week, so hilarious, and the set is amazing...
There never will be shows like this again. I'm thankful to have grown up in these times when tv was good and actors didn't have to cuss every other word. We had the best music...people could actually sing. It's great to still watch them and pretend for a moment...it's the good days.

The blue hair moment is simply hilarious 😉
I'm 37 and I never seen any of these shows, I can honestly say these are so great I wish the world 🌎 was still like this..
They're fun aren't they? If you enjoy these sketches, I highly recommend its spinoff show "Mama's Family".

These were the good days of comedy. The four of them worked so well together.
Not off screen. Allegedly Korman was difficult on set. Carol fired him, which humbled him some.
Could you imagine living with those two?
ef no

She was worse than Eunice

Same here 😢i was born in 71 And remember watching all of these with my mom and dad ❤
Tim Conway can always make them break character.😂
Yeah, I’ve noticed at 8:18, they tried to keep a straight face just to keep from laughing.
The lettering on the window is Acme Hardware, not Central. I love that Harvey confused it and then kept with it throughout, and Vicki kept it consistent.
My love for Vicki Lawrence grows every day.
Just saw her 2 woman show last month. She is wonderful. I flove her. She's like a feisty Carol. ❤
I love the Family skits. The quarrels between Mama and Eunice are timeless
I always love how Mickey hollered at Mama, thought she couldn't hear.
Ed's loyalty to Mickey Hart is actually touching.
Thank you for all the laughs Mr. Conway.Blessings to you.

What humor. Real comedians and always at the top of their form
Ed sent her to Acme Hardware...did he not notice the name on the window?
Eunice is so ungrateful about Ed's business. Mama too! Last I looked, he's the only one supporting the family. 😂🤣
Ed would be better off moving in with Mickey.
Exactly !!
Yeah, cause according to mama, Eunice would ,"die of starvation with an open magazine in her lap", if Ed ever left her.😂😂
I always like how Ed takes up for Mickey like a little brother.
Micky trys so hard to be part of the family as dysfunctional as it is.
it was the only positive relationship on the show!
Every episode Tim Conway breaks their characters and they all struggle to death to hold on, that's priceless!
Todd Anthony Do we have any guys like that on telly today?
From what I remember, that was actually Tim's favorite thing to do -- and Harvey was his favorite target because Harvey ALWAYS lost it!
Todd Anthony I agree
Vicki and Carol both lost it for a few seconds. This is the only time I've seen them do this except for the time Mama told Eunice she had cobwebs in the windmills of her mind. We need more of this.
If you haven't seen the Siamese Elephants episode, don't wait another second. I believe it's called 'The Family plays Password. It will fracture you!
"Gimme that phone you hussy" lmao

Does anyone know who that actress is? She looks familiar. a little like Dee Wallace.

Carol has a new book out about this show. It is very interesting to read, although some of it is also from her book This Time Together.

It was the only show my mother permitted me to stay up and watch.
I grew up near Raytown and these characters are spot on.
@kirbykipling9515 It's about 10 miles south of Kansas City.
"Why the hell you keep calling me Mother Harper, ain't you got a mother of your own?"
According to the Mickey's Apartment sketch, all he had growing up was an abusive aunt, and he ran away from home at 14. ...Of course, Mother Harper still couldn't care less...
Dear Carol😘, when it comes to Comedy nobody can hold a candle on you, you're the BEST and MEXICO 💖YOU.!!!
Mama cuffing that tub stopper 😂😂😂
What a voice Carol has... at 11:10, she exhales the words, "Run this store" in the whistle register :0) She is adorable.
I love how they try not to laugh at each other. The show was live, wasn't it?This show was the Seinfeld of its time. It was that good then and it's true today. These 4 have such chemistry.
I know wut U mean, I loved me some Carol Burnett and casts, and yes it was LIVE ON TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Seinfeld to. I loved Mamas Family.
Cant compare Seinfeld to this..SorryNotSorry 😂
I think they taped it in front of a live audience twice.
@@mendezinatorfulI am pretty sure it wasn't aired live, but it was filmed live, I think 2 shows each day
I love carol Burnett! She is so crazy! I love watching these shows too!
I had a friend who was as talented as Carol and is funny and her mother always reminded me of Mama, only my friend's mother was nicer. It was just the way she talked. So funny, to just think about it now, how much my friend and her mother were like Carol and Mama. :)
I'll take those purple light bulbs! 🤣😂
Keisha Nicole TV I wanted purple light bulbs for Halloween! lol
I like the combination of purple and green for spring! 💜💚
Ed needs to order more.
"I like your blue hair!"
"Give me that phone, you hussy!"
"I am going to the Waldo, Mama, and if you don't want to come, you can climb a tree!"
Eunice is also hilarious every time she gets mad & squints her eyes. Lol!
I love this skit!
And sticks her chin out. Lol

I think the blue hair line was ad lib, look at their faces, they're all laughing and looking away!
@@bunkyman8097 I wondered if it was. Seemed they were unprepared for the line That is when they would udually break up. Made the skit funnier though.
Lol love Carols expressions..❤❤❤Vicky Lawrence a gem as Mama and Tim always a ham
Carol Burnett ROCKS I wish I could still see comedy this good.
HEr Comedy was Fun n Family Fun,.. today all they want to do is Curse n Insult politicians n each other in a mean way,.. Love Old Comedy,.. Wish it would come back,...
Every skit cracks me up!BUT THE ELEPHANT SKIT MAKES ME ALMOT CRY EVEN TO THIS DAY AND THE DENTIST SKIT RUNS REALLY CLOSE TO IT.
Love this show. I just discovered it over the Christmas holiday when we spent it in a cabin with no tv. I am addicted to it now.
Loved this show. My all time favorite sketch was Gone with the wind. 😃
"I saw them in the window & just had to have it!" 🤣😆
Her curtain dress with the rod attached was hilarious!
"Went With The Wind" XD
Once you watch one episode, you’re watching EUNICE and MAMA all day!!!
Classic comedy at its finest. I miss Harvey, now I'll miss Tim as well!
I die every time when Eunice goes high pitch. My ma and I watch this show all the time.
Run this store!!!
8:12 I love how everyone looses it. Tim was a legend.
10:47 "You just shut up or I'll take that little rubber stopper outta your purse and ram it down your THROAT!" :D
8:18 "Like your blue hair"
Everyone starts smiling....😁😁
I am so glad I found this channel.... wonderful childhood memories of laughter !
They kept saying go down to acme or go over to that other store acme...... BUUUUTTTTT ACME HARDWARE IS ON HIS WINDOW!!!! Just noticed that. 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
God Eunice is the most hilarious character ever!!!! My laughter has returned.
Yes she is 😂
I love mother Harper and Eunice
A tragic figure giving us gallows humor.
I luv Eunice I'm happy when I get to see her put her back on m e channel

I love these family skits. I can watch them over and over.
I love the Carol Burnett show!! The family skits are my favorite
I wish that would of casted Tim Conway more on Mommas Family....Those four together were the funniest ever....real comedians
Yes! If only they'd cast Tim Conway, instead of that odious Ken Berry.
roger thornburg ... would HAVE, HAVE, HAVE!!!.... It always bothers me
Tim Conway as the hapless dentist is still one of the funniest skits I've ever seen.
@@megaswenson lord Ken Berry was horrible
@@me-qq6gp That skit and the Hitler puppet skit with Tim and Lyle Waggoner are the funniest ever!!! 😁
The beautiful thing about these sketches how the actors and actresses try to keep in their laughter.
Eunice actually came in playful, and wanting to spend time with Ed.
"actually"
I noticed that too..
Cute to see mama laughing 😂
J* good show
Her. Face. As she leans On the countertop, 😆
I have watched this show since I was a small in the early 1970s. Funny shit
Same....I always looked forward to Saturday 🌙
I love the Mama's Family sketches. I'm glad they made it into a full series!
...."you gonna hang those butterfly nets on the Christmas tree too?" Love it.
Ed should've said, "No, Mama, I'm gonna hang you on the XMAS tree!"
“Did I FOOL ya?! Did I FOOL ya?!” 😂😂😂
Still funny to watch Ed say "Welcome to Central Hardware" and refer the customer to Acme Hardware for cloth tape ... even Mama mentions she usually shops at Acme ... when the HUGE window behind him clearly says "ACME HARDWARE" in giant letters.
That must've been a mistake for them to say Acme instead of Central.
I didn't catch that. So much was improvised from an outline script. These shows were so interesting and funny. take care.@@sha11235
Vicki Lawrence is a riot🎉🎉🎉
Love this! So hilarious, they don't make um like this anymore, this is a classic brightens up my day!!!😄😄😄
"You got good color, Mother Harper. Like your blue hair!" That seems to be one of Tim's ad libs. Vicki, Carol, and Harvey were trying hard not to break up!
+SymphonyBrahms
Now, I've watched this particular scene on UA-cam for years and I NEVER ever noticed their reactions to that line til you pointed it out, you sure are right! They're all trying very hard to keep from laughing. Thanks for pointing that out, it's awesome!
They probably did because it wasn't blue.
SymphonyBrahms I could tell the others were struggling not to laugh.
They were. And from my understanding, it was VERY hard to get Vicki to break. Lol
SymphonyBrahms With the blue hair she could fit right in with SJWS today.
'Run this store..' I almost cried!
The way Carol practically whistles her second “run this store?!?” Perfection
Everyone one on this show was just so God damned good! I miss tv like this.
With Eunice the way she is in this skit it makes perfect sense that Ed left her in later seasons. Totally believable even if she does treat everyone badly.
Both of them were too selfish to make a marriage work. It might have helped if they could have moved away and left Mama behind.
Eunice was always good to Mama. Mama was the bitch queen from hell who complained about everything Eunice said or did. She danced on air though whenever she saw Ellen who visited her once every 5 years or so, and stayed 5 minutes. No wonder her sons never visit.
@@scootergurl48 I agree, Eunice was treated badly by her selfish mother. Eunice was always trying to please her family but never succeeded. Her mother and Ellen were mean to her.
Maybe he left her for this woman?
They all put the fun in dysfunctional.
Eunice, Ed, Mama and Mickey put the FUN in dysfunctional!
Sucks never having found a wife. But watching these sketches takes some of the sting out of it. 😃
This is such a great show!
Steven MacPhail
Awwww Steven, if you appreciate these wonderful videos, you shouldn't be alone for long! I'm alone too, but these hilarious clips sure makes life worth living!!
Steven MacPhail
Awwww...I would love a man who I could enjoy shows like this with! I'm a single older lady, by the way.. I'm a big kid at heart!
Been there, done that. Avoid the heartache...trust me, it sucks being stupid and naive and marry the wrong man.
No worry Stephen, women can be such a headache that you may be better off!
I love that the window clearly says "ACME HARDWARE," yet Ed welcomes the charming young lady to "Central Hardware," and not long after Mama complains how Ed's selection of stoppers are inferior to that of "Acme hardware, where I usually shop!" I think Ed mentions it again when he suggests to the woman she try Acme Hardware downtown for cloth tape, which he doesn't carry. Deliberate gag or-? And of course, the Japanese Rabbit Traps we hear mentioned in other Ed and Eunice skits, I love it!
I think it was just an error.
@@sha11235 Yes I guess it had to be, it's just so shockingly obvious though! But most of us are focusing on the comedy and not the set design...
@@CrashingCrockery I only noticed the Japanese Rabbit Traps being on sale there recently. I only heard Eunice mention it, which I thought was the only callback on that joke.
@@sha11235 ha ha I think over the span of several seasons of Carol Burnett, the rabbit traps are mentioned at least twice, maybe a third time! Unrelated: have you ever seen Eunice goes to a Fancy Restaurant? I watch that one at least once a week, so hilarious, and the set is amazing...
I remember back in 1969-late 70s, my mom had the same wall phone in yellow in the kitchen
Same here!
Love it when Eunice tells Mickey to shut up through his hearing aid!
These Mama's Family skits are genius. And more than 13 minutes long!!!
This is bout the only time I've seen Vicki break character.
What the YT video of "Mickey's apartment".. Vicki Lawrence cracks up a couple of times..
@@hankaustin7091 she cracks up in the elephant skit too, she just does a good job of hiding it
@@hankaustin7091 Yep, when they had to dump her out of the beach chair
Lol!
She’s a rock!
@kirbykipling9515 I'll have 2 check it out. Thanks.
run this store...RUN THIS STOORE...!!!! Lmao
The Best show ever 💕💕💕💕💕nothing can compare😣
This skit makes me laugh, but also makes me sad. Mickey is the only one with compassion. RIP Harvey and Tim.
Mickey was the only friend of Ed's who treated him well.
