Eunice and Ellen were always bickering and fighting with each other, ever since the family sketches, right into Mama's Family. I think that in the family sketches, Ellen was more like the "bad" one, and in MF, Eunice looked like the "bad" one. Whos side would u be on? Id definitely go for Eunice!

Eunice.

Ellen. Eunice was a brat. Funny but bratty.

Ellen was a snob but Eunice was delusional or psychotic. So both were messed up!

I agree with you there!

Newhart fan hit it on the nail regarding Ellen and Eunice. What a pair.

I think they were both pretty bad... even though being a big Betty White (and Rue McClanahan) fan...But I guess Ellen is a little bit beter than Eunice... that girl needs ritalin! Ellen was bitchy & rich... and Eunice was just plain annoying!

------------------

Personally, I'd rather be on Mama's side breaking the two psychos up! Ellen was a caniving little wretch while Eunice was *agreeably* dilusional and psychotic, and both were selfish brats who were always in competition over everything.

Sometimes I pitied Ed, and sometimes I thought he married what he deserved.

**Gracie**

Eunice!!!! Ellen was funny, but I have never heard of anyone as obnoxious as Eunice!!

Well at least both Harper girls agree on something---they both dislike Naomi.

Eunice. I could stand a crazy person rather than a snob any day.:crazy: They're both funny!

Eunice! Ellen's stupid!

DEFinitely Eunice! Ellen had her hilarious moments---many of 'em---but she was so dang bitchy and snobby. Plus, she seemed to look down on Naomi more (and I *love* Naomi).

I hear ya!! Ellen was DANG snobby! I wish Eunice & Ellen had been on the show more. Speaking of Naomi, when I was little I thought Naomi was so pretty. She was like my idol when I was a rugrat!

Lol, cute, Blair...we all have our fond childhood memories. ;)

Eunice Just plain cracks me up, lol. Does anyone know of a network that airs "The Carol Burnett" show? I am only 14, and I watched their reunion thing, and I want to watch this show BAD!

Definately EUNICE!!!!

:rotflmao:

Seems like every time they got into an argument, everybody would just dump on Eunice, or find some way to pick on her. Sure she's nasty and sets herself up it, but I tend to look at her as the underdog.

Mama came right out and said herself that Ellen was her favorite, so naturally she's going to side with Ellen, no matter how right or wrong she may be, over Eunice.

There were a few episodes, such as the one where Eunice and Mama ended up in jail on Eunice's birthday, and the one where Eunice got an acting part at the Pepperpot Playhouse, that I thought delved pretty good into Eunice's character. Eunice always wanted to be a star, and would get quite delusional, but about the only support from her family she'd ever get was "wake up and smell the coffee". I think deep down inside, Eunice tried to be a good person, it's kind of hard when all your family does is pick on you!

Sure, Eunice would get nasty (and the biggest laughs) in every episode she appeared in (all of 5, I think). But it always seemed that someone would push her into it...either Naomi, Mama, Ed, Ellen, or the snobs at the Pepperpot Playhouse!

Yeah, I agree. Lol @ Ed.

No doubt-- EUNICE RULES!!!

Yes, Andre 1969 said it all.

Ive got to go with Eunice because it did seem Mama always favored Ellen.

I'm a Eunice fan, so.. I'll have to go with EUNICE!!!!!!

Andre 1969 has said what I have always felt. EVERYBODY picked on Eunice. Like when Vint and Naomi got married and Eunice came to the Bachellorette party everyone was talking about Eunice but they didn't know she was listening. When she defended herself Mama turned aganst her and sided with her heart Ellen. So that left Euice no choice but to tell Ellen that her precious husband Bruce was having an affair with his secretary Peggy. WAY TO GO EUNICE!!!!:lol: :eek: :lol:

I also have to say Eunice. She could be somewhat of a crybaby at times, but always seemed to have the right intentions. I love Betty White, but Ellen just came off as a cold bitch alot of times. Sort a Southern & bitter Sue Ann Nivens :lol:

My sympathy definitely goes to Eunice. Sure, she was a classic case of arrested development, throwing tantrums when the slightest thing didn't go her way. Yet, looking at her childhood, it's really no wonder. Thelma inarguably favored Ellen, and Eunice never got any support for her ambitions. Is it any wonder she grew up to be an insecure adult?

Plus, I like that at one time (in another universe, seemingly), Eunice and Naomi were drinking buddies! (t least that's what Thelma alluded to in the special Eunice.)

Good! :D Just remember....:whip ;)

I would have to go with Eunice, I just love her she is wild and crazy.......go Eunice go:)

Though, I haven't watched this show in some time, I will start going to bed earlier to watch it at 6 AM. Anyway, I'm on Eunice's side. Ellen was so annoying. I thought Eunice was funnier but I like the syndication years much better anyway, so I could have done with neither of them.
