    I wonder if Harvey Korman's "Ed" character inspired "Cousin Eddie" from NL's Christmas Vacation? Similar character. 😆

    How many children did Mama have? Would've been nice to see the boys in the skits sometimes but at least we got to see Bubba later on Mama's Family.

    • @eduardo_corrochio

      At times Eunice's sons were called Bubba and Raymond, and then it was Bubba and Billy Joe. I believe that Mama had five kids: Ellen, Phillip, Eunice, Larry and Jack. Phillip was played by two actors-- Roddy McDowall (in a few skits, including the very first Family one) and then in the 1982 TV film "Eunice" they had Ken Berry play him.
      I enjoyed Bubba when he first started on season three of Mama's Family the sitcom. But after a while his character changed somehow, lost his spark and likeability for me. I didn't care for some of the changes they made during that series, like Mama going from hard and grouchy and judgy to someone who sang giddily around the house and came up with wacky schemes, even enjoyed tap dancing or dirty dancing. This wasn't the Mama from the original sketches. On "Mama's Family", the character of Thelma Harper should have been the _Straight Man_ ... reacting to her family members, always deriding and being sour; that's what worked in these hilarious skits on Carol's series. But when Vicki's sitcom was going into syndication Harvey Korman convinced Vicki Lawrence that Mama had to become warm and cute in order for the show to work, in order for the viewers to like her or find her funny. I disagree with that idea 100%. But I do like Mama's Family for what it is .... especially the first two seasons when Mama was still an ornery hot head! :)

      On the mamas Family reunion on Vicky Lawrence's show, I believe she said the number of children Mama has is a mystery. On Mama's Family it's generally accepted that she has 3 children, though she did mention having 4 in an early episode. On the Carol Burnett Family sketches it's generally believed she has 5... Although she did mention a Mary Ellen once. I'm assuming this is the same Ellen that we know, but she has never been referred to as MARY Ellen outside of that one time, so who knows if this is another daughter that we've never seen

      @@eduardo_corrochio I think Vicky or Harvey said if Mama was going to be the main character of a 30 min sitcom, she's gotta do more than just sit around and frown all the time. I was happy to see her evolve into a likeable character.. I always wondered how Eunice would have gotten along with the brighter cheerier Mama of later years. Mama was nicer but I thought when she did insult ppl she could be a lot more cutting in later years

      ​@eduardo_corrochio I agree. By the time we got to the last seasons of Mamas Family, the characters became watered down and lost their grit. Even in the first run of Mamas Family, Mama and Naomi stood up against eachother and created drama.

      @@jonnaking3054 Absolutely agree! It was nice to see the growth with mama and not have her be one dimensional and the backstory with her own mother. I also understood the change in Bubba's character. He clearly needed good parenting which he wasn't getting from Eunice and Ed. By the end of the show Bubba was a mature responsible young man who was in college I don't think that would have happened with his parents.
