What's your favorite episode of Mama's Family??? I have been watching Mama's Family from the early days on the Carol Burnett Show,to the NBC years,and now the reruns on cable!!
My favorite episodes are the early years,especially the 2nd episode where Vint hocks Mama's silver to bail out Claude Cainmaker out of jail! Especially when Fran comes downstairs and wants an extension cord and Mama asks if her hair dryer would work without one and Fran says I'd have to crouch in a corner! As Mama was looking for the cord, she notices that the box with the silver is gone! And Fran says it does seem to be gone! Mama says,"Oh I see,I say it's missing and that doesn't count, you say it's gone and we can put it in the headlines, "Fran Says The Silver's Gone"!!! Very funny show

my fave would have to be her the one where her mother come back form the dead to haunt her or the one where she wins the dancing contest for Dirty dancing

I love all the pre-syndicated episodes! As for the syndicated I like: the one where they give that foreign girl a make-over, when Thelma's mama haunts her, when Naomi had Tiffany Thelma, the Bone Crushers and so many more!

I have so many! Mostly from the syndicated series. I don't know the titles but here are the descriptions;

>The gooseberry jam episode(NBC)
>The love letter that gets into everybody hands
>The christmas, Valentines, Thanksgiving and April Fool's episodes
>Iola's new best friend Arlene
>The intercom
>Dirty Dancing
>Bubba's movie
>Naomi gets amnesia
> Vinton and Naomi's wedding(NBC)
>Mama's birthday(NBC)
>Eunice and Mama get thrown in jail(NBC)


Oh! So many!

My favorite episode is where Mama gets the

#2 is when they go on Family Feud.

Kelli

:lol: Me too! My favorite of all time is when Thelma goes to work at the Raytown Travel Agency- (It's a GREAT day here at the Raytown Travel Agency- May I HELP you?)- lol- I almost have the whole episode memorized!

My second favorite might have to be the one where the escape convict from Juvi- (spelling)- sneaks into Bubba's room then goes downstairs to ruin Mama's Dinner Party. Bonneta- (The Kike)- (spelling)- lol- cracks me up.

I also enjoy Naomi And Vint's Wedding! The Family Feud Episode is okay! Oh- I totally forgot- I love the one where Bubba makes a video for his class about the family- After seeing that, I taped my family and did some awesome editing!- lol-

Mama and the Family on "Family Feud" was HILLARIOUS! Another good one was where Mama went on that local show that had rhyming weatherman and the rooster or chicken, whatever.

Geez...there are so many good ones it'll be hard to say. Some that stand out for me though...

"The Really Loud Family" this is the one where Bubba tapes the family and the camera keeps shorting out. The end product shows the family supposedly talking bad about each other.

Mama: "When I think of my family...all my kids and their kids..." (snow) "it just turns my stomach!...husbands beatin' their wives, wives cheatin' on their husbands, and you know where I place the blame?" (snow) "right with this old lady.." - LOL! That ep just cracks me up everytime!

The freeze dried cat...:lol:

Bonita Rokiki the escaped convict..."They wantcha to listen to Barry Manilow while you're watin' for your throat to be slit"..."Inga, shutyourpussorgobacktojuvie!!" :lol:

The one where Mama gets the consumer radio show, was just on this week...

The April Fool's ep - lemon spongecake!!

"Mama's Girls" - where Vint and Bubba repair the phone...finally at the end of the ep, the phone literally explodes...Vint: "I'll get it"

The one with the dream sequences about marriage. Bubba's married and Thelma's old and scenile..."Hey! Who was that fat girl"? Iola is Naomi and Naomi is Iola, then the "Rebecca" sequence...:lol:

There are so many more great moments and eps, there's just too many to list. As you can probably tell, I'm more biased to the syndicated years. Either way this show was always great, and if there was any actor ever robbed of a well deserved Emmy, or at least a nomination, it's Vicki Lawrence for her role as Mama...talk about playing it to the hilt! She was great...:)

Also, how could I forget...

The one where Mama & Bubba get jobs at McRay's - those Scottish outfits were hilarious!

The one where Vint thinks he was adopted. The scene where Thelma performs the duet alone is absolutely hysterical! :lol:

Ah, there are just so many memorable eps...:)

I'll second that. :D

Oh yeah! I just remembered my favorite one; where Bubba has that camera from the school and he records everyone saying something? HAHA!! When it finally shows at the end and everyone's statements are turned into something completely different because the camera shuts on and off. Mama is displayed as a negligent parent and a drunk, etc....Haha, this one is so funny...

Yeah, that's the one I and a few others mentioned. Seemed there was a short in the camera...:lol:

That is easily my favorite episode...

OMG, I just remembered a funny one! This one bas been stuck in my mind all day and I keep giggling every time I think about it... It's the episode "Mama Learns to Drive", right after Mama asks, "What the hell's a PRNDL?" and after Fran explains everything, she goes, "Okay. Hang on to your ta-tas, Frannie!"

:rofl:

Without a doubt the Aprils Fool day, that one rocks!!

The Wedding episodes- Loved Eunice's drunken spectacle

The one where Mama gets hit with a pot by Naomi, Ellen and Eunice

The one where Mama works at the Food Circus, much to Naomi's dismay

The one where Vint and Naomi go to the hotel and Mama ruins their evening by showing up there- Loved teh part where Mama was watching the porn on TV

The Grandma USA episode

The one where Bubba and Vint and Naomi switch rooms

The answereing machine episode- "It's your Dime, Spill it"

The Episode where Mama tries to save her house from the wrecking ball

The APPPRIL FOOL's Day Episode

The Thanksgiving Day Episode

The Christmas Goose Episode- Goose, Goose, Goose!

The Casanova book episode

The Bone Crusher Wrestling episode

The Episode with the annoying Parrot- "AWK, It sure is a Full Moon Tonight!"

Bubba's Home Movie episode

The One where Thelma looks after the Reverend's kid- I like how she said "That boy needs a swat team because he definietely needs a good swat!"

The Big Wheel episode

The episode where Naomi has a baby in the trailer.

LOL! The "wrecking ball" episode was actually written by Beverly Archer, who played Iola. It surprised me that she didn't write herself a bigger part in it though...:lol:

She also wrote a pretty funny episode of ALF, and guest appeared on that show a few times...

Anyone know what she's up to these days?

of those...I picked Family Feud. :)

my favorite episode is deffinatly the april fools one and my second would be the one when mama's mother comes back to haunt her

april fools one
the one with that guy who always say "REBECCA" lol!
family fued and jepordy
and that one with bubba's video camara

that's all i can remember...

My favorite Mamas Family episodes are when Bubba tapes the family:talk: Iola and Mama argue over the flower (Iola called it the Boylen Beauty, Mama called it Princess Thelma):lol: Mama and Iola compete for the leader of the CLL:D Iola accuses Bubba of stealing her pearls ( Mama said Bubba didn't steal yous pearls but whoever did did you a big favor because all they did was attract attention to that geeky pencil neck of yours!!):dance: :bouncers Naomi and Vint's wedding is another one. I have many Iepisodes just thought that I'd mention a few.




PS I love this website. The smiley faces are rally cool.:cool: :lol:

I love almost all of the syndicated episodes, however these are my very favorites:

The breathing class one

The adoption agency one

McRays Burger Stand --"Of course we got eggs, what do you think we're putting in the damn blankets!!"

Mama's Mama haunting her.

All the ones with the Reverand and Mrs. Meechum

Ellen in the Hospital

The one where Bubba tapes the family with a shorted camera.

The one where Mama becomes the radio consumer advocate

The Wedding

Eunice and Mama in jail

Mama Driving

Ellen and the Younger Man ''Trout Manure"

The one when Mama gets all the Church ladies drunk

Mama vs. Iola for President

The one when Bubba gets drunk and they flash back to when young Eunice embarrassed Mama at the Mother's Day Banquet

The one when Ellen is being honored at the Country Club and the family gets an invitation to come.

Well now since I've listed off so many... I guess I can say that I love them all!! (especially all of the syndicated ones!!)

I also like the episodes where the cast members play different characters like in the one with the dream sequence when Iola imagines herself as a Naomi -type being married to Vint and Naomi playing the Iola-type. That was so funny! Also Mama playing herself when she is younger(in several) and also playing cousin Lydia.Vint played his father in one episode too!

My favourite episode is where Mama gets hooked on the shopping channel.... that cracks me up every time! And I also love the Hawaii ones...

I like the one called its your dime spill it. That is where Vint and Naomi find a stray dog and they call the dog old lady. The expression on Momma's face when they said they were taking the old lady in for her shots, or when they said they were sending her to an old folks home, lol. Then everyone pretended they did not hear a dog barking.
