    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 .

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 !

    The beautiful thing about these sketches how the actors and actresses try to keep in their laughter.
