    This was back when families would sit in the living room together. And watch television as a family I have a lot of memories sitting in the living room and watching this show. Good memories from glad I was raised when I was raised wouldn't want to be raised in today's world.

Now I’m 56, and all I can remember is watching the Carol Burnett show and then came MAMAS PLACE. How beautifully awesome was to sit dwn and watch their programs with the family. Those were the great OLD DAYS. We don’t have much of those anymore. Traditions had been stored away in a far far away closet some where. How wonderful was to have them in our lives. R.I.P.

    A little info for people who may not have known, Mama's family was a skit on the Carol Burnett show. It was so popular that they did a show of it's own. You see Unis and Ed, Carol Burnett and Havey Corman at the start of the series, but "moved away" as so did Ellen' "Betty White. That was decided before the series was made. Also, Fran Crowley, Rue McClanahan dies on the show." FAKE OF Course!" and they changed the kids. First they were the children of Vince . I think they went to college and Bubba being the child of Unis and Ed's was in trouble with the law and couldn't leave the town on some probation. That's why he stays with his Grandma. I thought I was older than the kids. Wrong! I'm 55. Watched the Carok Burnett in rerun and when on air and watched Mama's family religiously. I know all of the episodes and Love dearly both shows! I washed they would make show like them!

      There was also a pilot film for the show (after the Carol Burnett Show ended its run) in which Ken Berry (Vinton) played another son "Phillip". In the film, "Mama" actually dies in the end, and Eunice (who'd also been left by Ed) is convinced to finally go off to pursue her dreams on her own. I think it originally aired in 1983.

I was also watching All My Children at the same time and Naomi - Dorothy Lyman - was also on that show at the same time. She would fly between NYC and LA to film the two shows. So, I saw her play two different characters at the same time. I still watch Mama's Family today because its always on some channel at some point. I just loved the 80s tv shows.
