As memory would have it....mama served fluffly up for dinner. Stating years later that.."Hell Eunice...if we hadnt eaten the damn thing up....hed of died of old age by now" lol
How lucky we are to have Carol Burnett entertaining us... and with such a great comic team behind her...love the Family sketches!!
But Burnett is so versatile as an actress that she suits almost any role... Does anyone have a copy of 'The tenth month' ... I think it was made in 1979? If you could upload it, I'm sure it would be much appreciated by all.
I don`t understand why this has never been released on DVD! It is as vivid to me watching it now as it was when I watched it that Monday night in 1982!
Yes, I know, it was a very cold night if I remember, they gave this show a big build up then, my parents back then were expecting big laughs, this was more of a drama than a comedy. I recorded the audio track that night, I taped it with my Sony radio-recorder, (old school), lol. I still have them. We did not get a VCR till the following year.
A masterful portrayal of passive-aggressive dysfunctional behavior within a family, along with deep-seated insecurities manifesting itself in subtle negative criticism and inane ritual. It's more than just funny; it's brilliant. Match that with Eunice's inability to overcome this dysfunction due to self-preoccupation; unlike her brother Philip. Trying desperately to not follow her mother; she became her because of a lack of self-introspection; just like momma...
That's it in a nutshell. Unfortunately, too many who watch this have the same issues as the characters, making them, ipso facto, incapable ot making that conclusion. There are simply too many issues here for any sane person to cope with. GreAt comedy!
Good God...screaming about where to put macaroni! This special was hard to take; there was a lot more dysfunction and discord than laughs. There was plenty of criticism and anger and tacklessness and ignorance and selfishness and bad behavior, but very little humor.
Take a look again at what I commented; maybe it will help... I agree; these people are taxing; even more than that, they are vampiric soul draining demons. But, well.... that's the point
This specia didn't seem to know what it was supposed to be, a comedy or drama. It succeeds much more on a drama level. What humorous aspects it does have are overshadowed by the overall darkness of story. I found the original "Family" sketches on the Carol Burnett show by and large very funny. I didn't find this special funny at all; in fact, it's very disturbing to watch.
Eunice hair in this one, cracks me up everytime; it looks like she was trying to take a crap while brushing her hair, she must have strained har to get that crap out LOL
Iola's mother was never shown, and Carl was only shown briefly in 1 flashback episode.
Bubba is Eunice's son, and he occasionally referrred to her lack of love for him, which explains why he moved in with Thelma. Vinton's 1st wife ran off to be a showgirl, and his high school crush, Naomi Oates, met him and his children, Buzz and Sonia, when he moved in with Thelma. Iola just sort of popped up out of nowhere.
Themunificent, I have to disagree. I think recasting Ken Berry as idiot Vinton was good for the show. I always felt sorry for Phillip, being the only decent, sane, intelligent person in the entire family. I did prefer Roddy McDowall in the role and I think Ken Berry was better suited to the Vinton Character. Just my opinon, anyway. I think Vinton's best ever line was "No matter how hard you try, you just can't get a Hush Puppy to take a shine." I laughed so hard I almost hurt myself on that one.
i wonder why she keeps mentioning ms boylen like at 5:03 that name was metioned before and TWICE in the early mamas family seasons 1-2 when acually the character didnt make an apperance untill 3-6 but saying she lived across the street all her life .....anyone no what im talking about ?
Yeah. It was the same for Ed's friend Mickey Hart. He was mentioned in the early Family skits but never seen until Tim Conway joined the cast in '75. Maybe they were treating the character of Ms. Boylen the same way?
idk maby ... he should of made a few apperances in the show it would be hilarious this is what im thinking mabythey just tought of and used the name earleir then when it was time to cast new they thought of the name theyhad earielr and decied to give it to her to tie her in easier ...maby
When she talks about Mrs. Boyland I'm thinking she means Iola's MOTHER and NOT actually Iola herself. BUT you gotta remember This Eunice movie takes place in a different TV universe than Mama's Family, so Iola may not even exist in this realm!:)
everyone is constantly on the show (iola and thelma mostly) that she is overwieght and bearly mobile, the lady shown dose not really seem to fit the description given, also when thelma was waving and calling she was doinng it on the oppisite side of where the woman was idk maby im wrong ??
i think that the show started of on a clean slate mentioning nothing of any previous movies or skits because in the show as far as we know there are only 3 children of mama( vint eunice and ellen ) and a brother of bubba was never mentioned of course they didnt take off of the movie there are many many things that would be different if they did one of course is thelma not even being alive ...its a good movie and skits and mamas family isone of my fav all time show
