Hello all,

there was something i noticed while i was watching Mama's Family
this morning, it was the one where the Mayor threatens to tear
down Mama's house to make it the city dump, and when the Mayor
releases the ball, Mama gets on top of it and rides it around. this
i figured was a recycled idea from the Carol Burnett show, there
was a sketch of Stella Toddler and she almost does the same thing.
i have noticed this same repetition before, in other eppisodes as well
but i just thought i would bring it up now.

What do you all think?

Very likely since both shows had the same writers.
