A portrait of a very dysfunctional family. I loved watching The Carol Burnett Show especially when the family episodes were on. I still laugh very loud watching these fantastic episodes!
I love the Carol Burnett show. I used to watch it every night on TBS when I was a kid. This is a great skit too. Plus Maggie Smith is one of the best actresses of all time. She's so classy!
Many years ago, I had a coworker, who had meltdowns like that. 1 day, in our department, we were on our lunchbreak, my supervisor laughed about it among us coworkers, we thought she was away from the office during lunch. Next, she snuck in, & in 1 of her 'Eunice Higgins'/'Carol Burnett' moments, she yelled, "HELLO, EVERYBODY! LINDA IS BACK! DRAMA QUEEN LINDA! PATHETIC LINDA! TEMPER TANTRUM LINDA!!!! 'SCREAMBABY' LINDA IS BAAACK!!!!!!!!" We all laughed @ her.
Oh my goodness...im in a public library watching this on a computer and I managed to hold my laughter until Carol Burnett(Eunice) says "Is that supposed to be my hair?"
Eunice: "WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING @ ME FOR?!" "OH, I GET IT, I GET IT!!" "YOU'RE GOING TO LAY IT ALL @ MY FEET, JUST LIKE ALL THEM OTHER TEACHERS DID!!" "IT'S EUNICE'S FAULT, HUH?!" "EUNICE IS THE HEAVY, I'M ALWAYS THE GOAT!!" "WELL, JUST WHEN AM I EVER GOING TO GET OFF THE PAN?!" "WILL SOMEBODY TELL ME THAT?!"
I remember the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie also. It used to come on tv late on a Saturday night when I was a teenager. It was considered a risque film at the time.
Bubba was mentioned many times, but was never seen until 1986. What grade is he supposed to be in here? if he's still in high school, then it's very strange how he is still in high school on "Mama's Family".
That's crazy, Eunice is worried about how her hair is drawn on the drawing instead of her son. I remember on "Mama's Family" the episode when Bubba graduated high school; Eunice wrote Bubba a letter telling him she was not going to attend.
OMG I did know Dame Maggie Smith was in this eps. WOW...I've only seen her from the 90's and on and not with Red Hair...She definatley plays extremely well in this eps.
When I looked at the Harpers' bios on Wikipedia, it appeared to me that favoritism ran in the family causing some to be torn apart hence bitterness. Bubba wasn't at fault, Eunice wasn't at fault, neither was Mama whose mom / dad favored her brother over her. So now, I see the root of bitterness within the family.

haha she wrinkles her hair when she says "Hes usally hits someone always someone much smaller than himself" she acts like its her"!! Maggie Smith is amazingg!!
The drawing is hilarious. The figures are so simple - only a few lines - but it's obviously Ed and Eunice. And i think bubba NAILED Eunice's hair. LOL!
Too bad that they didn't bring Maggie Smith onto Mama's Family to reprise her roll as Ms. Collins to see how well he turned out and recanted her statement about Mama being a "bitter, uncaring Grandmother"
Someone please tell me what color Eunice's hair is. I always thought it was BROWN, but a lot of people say it's RED and Bubba drew it red in the picture.
"Is that supposed to be my hair?" ROFL!!! It reminds me of something that Hilary Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air would say! Overall, I love their portrayal of the characters in this show and subsequent spin-offs and series.
Am I the only one who thinks that "Ed Higgins"- & possibly son "Bubba"-- has a serious case of undiagnosed ADHD going on? It would explain A LOT.
