This show sucks! All the characters are EXTREMELY annoying, especially that nutbag Eunice. Ken Berry was Excellent in F-Troop, not so much in Mamas Family . This and The Carol Burnett Show are 2 shows Im an avid hater of

So does anyone else share my hatred of Mamas Family?

Quite so! I saw some of it when it was in syndication back when I was a boy, and I found it incredibly boring, not to mention too "down-homey" for my taste.

I LOVE Mama's Family!

I finally bought all the season's since it's not on any channel I can get. I never liked F-Troop though and think Ken Berry was great in Mama's Family and Mayberry RFD. Just my opinion.

I have to agree, Ken Berry was good in Mayberry RFD

Not me. I like Mama's Family a lot and also enjoyed The Carol Burnett show.

Crusinforabrusin · 01-10-2016, 04:14 PM

I'd take Rowan And Martins Laugh - In ANY day over the other two shows

I loved Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In and like it more than the two shows you hate. But for me it's all relative: I am fond of all three shows-Laugh-In first, Mama's Family 2nd, Carol Butnett Show 3rd.

I haven't really watched much Mama's Family but from what I've seen of it, it looks like a good show. I'd try to watch it if MeTV put it on at a better time later at night.

I love Mama's Family! I especially love Eunice. She's hilarious!

Bonniegirl · 01-10-2016, 07:16 PM

NO!!! I love Mama's family! Glad METV is showing it!!! My husband is really getting into it too! It's on when he comes in from work. He can catch the whole second ep.!! (Maybe he's just happy I'm not drooling over Erik Estrada anymore when he gets in form work )LOL!!! NO! He really finds Mama's family amusing!

Crusinforabrusin · 01-10-2016, 07:25 PM

Here's another reason why I couldn't watch it: Poor lighting. Just like those 1970s sitcoms, the show also had poor lighting. Hurts my eyes to even look it. Plus that Eunice character makes me want to vomit all over the place. I'd call her an eyesore to look at.

NOTE: I am not trying to hurt anyones feelings , but these are just my opinions about the show. .

Bonniegirl · 01-10-2016, 07:45 PM

Well, Eunice is supposed to be nutty and overbearing. That is how the character was written!! And Carol Burnett plays crazy characters so well! It's hysterical , her mannerisms and facial expressions!!! And the banter between her and Mama is hilarious !!! I don't know how many episodes you've watched, but you know Eunice isn't in all of them anyway right?

But ,I'm thinking you might like Mama's family when it gets into later seasons. Season 3 brings in some new characters (Bubba and Iola who are really good) and Eunice isn't on anymore!

Torgo · 01-10-2016, 07:47 PM

Love Mama's Family and The Carol Burnett Show both.

Crusinforabrusin · 01-10-2016, 07:51 PM

I admit, Carol Burnett did have SOME funny skits, but the skits generally involved anyone BUT Carol Burnett

Becca3557 · 01-10-2016, 08:37 PM

I like the show, although I think it got better after the 1st season. I agree the lighting is awful!
