      Excellent writers, indeed, and dialog and scenes so true to life. When Mama pinches Eunice, and Eunice squinches up her eyes at her, well, that is something I've actually seen. It happened in church between my great grandmother and my unruly cousin, both named Martha. Too funny! Carol Burnett's Texas roots shine through in Eunice's accent. I love how Maggie Smith laid down the law in her classroom, and the family sat, diminished as if spoiled brats being chastised for bad behavior.

    As a preschool teacher, I’ve come across many families like this one…where kids act out so badly at school but it’s because they have disfuncional family lives. And as a teacher you try to be truthful and honest and dive deeper into what’s going on at home and parents want none of it. Parents have no clue of the impact they have on their kids even in the little arguments and spats that they have. Most parents think “they are too small and don’t get it” but kids are smarter and pick things up more then they realize. Children might not verbally express the problems perfectly but they know hence they act out. It’s sad we need better teachers out there like Miss Collins

On many occasions as a child I wanted to end my life so that my parents could be happy. If not for my caring teachers while I was in school, I would have committed suicide before I reach the age of 13. My teachers looked after me, help me get good grades, even got me a part-time job working after school. That part time job lasted over 3 decades until the company went out of business , dued to change of technology. My teachers made me a better person.They looked after me and took good care of me.I moved out at age 15 and moved into my own place .If not for the love and care my teachers have me,I would have been dead from suicide at age 9.

    I was in a family like this growing up, and was heavily bullied so it did no wonders for my self esteem. I can remember teachers thanking their lucky stars I was not in their classes, and some that I did have making fun of me constantly. When the family fell apart and the town found out there was a whole lot of "fake sympathy". Truth was they knew, and they were ignorant to it all. If we had teachers like Ms. Collins we wouldn't have this problem. I met a few and they helped me get through the hard things. However, given the state of education today, and especially parents today. Often teachers who tell it how it is find themselves quickly out of work by entitled and clueless parents who think they can do no wrong.

Before flying home from London in June of 2007 I had the high honor and deep privilege of seeing two-time Oscar, Emmy and Tony-winner Dame MAGGIE SMITH at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in the EDWARD ALBEE play "The Lady from Dubuque." After the evening performance, I was lucky enough to meet this gracious, elegant lady and have our picture taken at the Stage Door. Right before she left, I bowed and kissed her right hand. That was over 30 YEARS after her performance on CAROL BURNETT and MAGGIE SMITH still enhances every show she does. Just saw the 2019 DOWNTON ABBEY movie.

    I thought that I was going to die laughing when I seen that picture that Bubba drawled the funny thing is there was a family that lived in my neighborhood when I was a kid growing up in the 60s that actually acted like them and their grandmother wore the same kind of print dresses and that blue rinse hair

    These Mama's Family skits were like a therapy of sorts for my mom back in the day. Unfortunately her mother was "Mama" through & through, right down to the way she dressed. The only real difference was my grandma put a "rinse" in her hair in a shade called Apricot (very light brown), & we're from Pennsylvania, so no southern accent. But boy she had a sharp tongue. And out of her 7 offspring (4 boys, 3 girls), my mom was definitely her Eunice. Grandma always made my mom feel like a failure as an adult, even though she really wasn't, & she'd physically abused my mom frequently, though her other girls never got whipped. Mom was born in 1926 & it was like a normal thing for parents to take a belt or a switch off a tree to their kids' backside. At least in the rural area we're all from. My mom was able to use the humor of Mama's Family to help get herself through the hurt she'd had all all those years. I always wondered what it was like to have a nice loving grandma like all my friends did.

      Carol said once in an interview that people from all over, not just the South, could relate to them.

      I totally understand. My mom never whipped us but she would tell daddy!! Then we’d get in trouble. I vowed I would never do that to my kids and I didn’t.

      This is not a “Mama’s Family” sketch. That was a different show.

    • @darlenehoward2340
      @darlenehoward2340 Рік тому +2

      @@dma124 No kidding, I'd have never guessed that, since it says "The Carol Burnett Show" in the title. I never said it was the "Mama's Family" TV show. I said skit- meaning a short acting piece. I watched "The Carol Burnett Show" all through my childhood, & then "Mama's Family" later when it began as it's own show. Was my "supposed" mistake the most important thing you had to worry about on a Sunday morning? If so, I'm very sorry, & I hope things get better for you. Have a blessed day.

      I love CB's facial expressions when Mama pinches E's arm. She conveys shock, outage, hurt, and shame--- all with no words. So talented.
