      I remember watching this as a kid. She would start thev show with questions from the audience. I remember a guy stood up and said, " Can you stop doing Moma's Family? they remind me too much of mt family and I just want to enjoy the show." I never forgot that all those years.

      @BrunetteOnTheCouch 7 місяців тому +7

      Mama likes all the other kids better because they're 'successful' (i.e. got some money, moved elsewhere) in her eyes. Mama sees in Eunice everything she doesn't like about herself and how her life turned out so Eunice gets the brunt of it. They both didn't get the life they really wanted and settled for men that impregnated them. They're 'stuck' in that town and miserable.

    There is something about these comedy sketches with Eunice and Mamma that touches on a sadness at the same time . How many of us are there that have known the deep despair and anger from trying to please someone that never will be pleased no matter how hard you may try .

    • @rhsharp
      @rhsharp 2 роки тому +49

      Regarding this particular sketch: This was very sad and disturbing. Brilliantly written, acted,and directed…and I don’t like watching it. It’s really psychodrama for the writers. The talented Betty White’s character is downright hateful, as is Mama. I much preferred the earlier sketches of “The Family,” such as the three of them playing Sorry, or when Alan Alda, Tommy Smothers, and Roddy McDowell played Eunice’s brothers. Those sketches were funny. But then “The Family” took a dark turn that I detested. Thank goodness they lightened it up again when it morphed into Mama’s Family.

      I know that's right! I grew up watching these episodes and 45 years later I'm still watching them! Some one commented that they felt rather sad for Eunice. I didn't feel sad for Eunice until after her Mom died she thought Ed wanted to get back with her and because of her low self esteem and genuine help for others; she did not even get to go with her brother Phillip to New York and she really wanted to go to see new places and enjoy life's true blessings.

    "Eunice shut the hell up."
    That was my favorite line. 🤣 I was just a kid back then. But it cracked up. I use to walk around repeating all the time. 😂

    Don't forget Carol Burnett, I loved her as a child and even more so when I was old enough to understand the adult side of her comedy.

    17 minutes and 33 seconds! The comedy today couldn’t last that long on their best day! This was the golden age/era of comedy! Nobody did it better!

    “Be a bush if you can’t be a tree” Both mama and Ellen ganged up on her. “Darling you just stunk. Lord you were pitiful, just pitiful darling”
