Ken Berry looked like a weird killer with a mean streak in the first seasons, then all of the sudden its like someone slapped the shit out of him and set him straight lol
@ekocentric You're absolutely right. The whole time the show aired, I was always pretty sure that the only people that were younger than Lawrence on the show were the actors that played her grandchildren. :)
My gawwwd! That was painful to watch! I have never seen the show Mama's Family nor Vicki, but as an outside observer could see Vicki is pretty much up herself. Always talking about herself, or her character. Poor 'Iola' was never involved by Vicki at all. The questions by the audience are cringe value. You'd think the producers would have asked prior to the show then picked the questions which were interesting or appropriate! Ken Berry looked like he wanted to just hide under a chair!
@aidenangola I'm just glad to see that Ms Archer wasn't wearing pink, Mr Berry was without the tan and brown, Dorothy didn't have the big wig, yellow come-to-me-slut outfits and mama wasn't calling everyone dirty names.
All in all, this little get together was a big success as far as I'm concerned. Lol
Have you taken notice the cast is reminiscing About Mama's family while it was in syndication and not the Original NBC run in my opinion those we're the best ones.
@MAinsworth0375 That's because syndication was more recent for them. This was in 1992 and they had just finished the syndication series 2 years before. By then, the network series was almost 10 years ago for them.
@melville80 Yeah she just basically skipped over her! WTH is that about? Did they not like each other? The entire show they didn't let Beverly talk not once!!!
@melville80 I've always liked Vicky Lawrence, but if she was going to cut people off, then why'd she even have a reunion show? She could have just had pictures of them and done a narration.
So called experts say tight jeans on guys look bad? Well look at Allan Kayser. Season one he wore baggy jeans .Goofy cartoonish flat butt. After that he wore tight jeans! He looks FANTASTIC IN TIGHT JEANS! He looks more masculine.clean cut and far better in tight jeans!
I live in Kansas City,, and loved this show,, I was never sure if they lived in raytown was that the raytown in missouri,, and hell me and allen could be neighbors lol he is so damn hot allways thought so,,
Mama's Family airs on ION Television where I live on the east coast. Those audience members asked the worst questions, and I also picked up on a bit of animosity between Vicky and Beverly. We all know she went on to Major Dad, but when the question was asked it didnt get answered....still love the show.
Late 1992 or early 1993, it was during that TV season. Betty White mentioned they were doing Golden Palase and that aired only one year after the Golden Girls ended in 1992.
I don't think Beverly and Vicky were on good times around this time, let alone today. You hardly ever hear of Beverly at all. She just disappeared in the mid-90s all of a sudden. Vicky, on the other hand, you see her in guest spots to this day. Vicky is the only cast member working. The others just retired or just laid low for a long time. Beverly is quoted to say that wearing pink is the most horrifying experience ever.
I still watch this show every single night of the week. It airs at 8:00pm and 8:30pm where I live. It follows another great show, "ALICE". It is shows like this one though, that still make TV worth watching! This was one of the all time funniest casts ever!
Wow did Vicky and Beverly have issues in real life? What was that all about when Beverly says "One of these days you're gonna accept an invitation." and Vicky says "Next time you invite me I will."
Yeah Samoan you're right about Vint but that's made the shows so good to watch. As people were talking about characters on Mama's Family... what about the two guys who played Bubba's friends Dwayne & T-boy?
I don't think the actor who played Buzz has acted for many years. The actress that played Sonya does the occasional acting gig. She just doesn't do anything very popular.
Thank God for this show...it gave me a laugh on many days where I did not have anything to laugh about. I can still watch the show and find myself letting out a laugh over one of their jokes
When Vicki later wrote her autobiography, "Miss Fireball", she hardly mentions "Mama's Family" at all! She did write that the syndicated cast was better than the first, but her favorite person seems to have been Dorothy Lyman, whom she tried to work with again after "Mama" went off the air. I once saw an episode of "Major Dad" which guest-starred Vicki, but I don't think she and Beverly Archer were close.
Dang, Beverly Archer really exercised restraint. (Seriously) Was "Vicki" an NBC show and as such it was illegal or warranting death to mention CBS shows?!
Great show, but it's too bad that the Buzz and Sonja actors never even called in or even got mentioned. They could have also had the actress that played Aunt Effie if she was still alive and well. Oh, what they could've talked about and had on this episode if it was a 2 hour special!
I read this somewhere. Eric Brown now works for the William and Flora Hewitt Foundation. Karin Argoud seems to have disappeared from the public eye, having last acted in 2001.
Best show ever
