You don’t realize how depressing these skits are because you spend time laughing at the characters making buffoons of themselves.

As for Mama’s Family and it’s relevancy nowadays, it’s ironic how popular it is when it wasn’t even in syndication for years. I think MeTV airing it in 2016 brought the show back to life. It’s everywhere now, MeTV, Logo, CMT.

Yes. There were some dark years for Mamas Family in the early and late 2000's. I remember there were message boards and Mamas Family websites trying to organize some TV networks to bring it back. After TBS ran it forever in the 1990s it went off the air. Now its a staple on Logo and MeTv.
