Mama's Family: Mama's Favorites The Complete First Season (DVD)

Fans of classic television will love MAMA'S FAMILY, the delightfully offbeat TV comedy whose successful run spanned from 1983 to 1990. This wacky sitcom originally began as a skit on the legendary Carol Burnett Show. As portrayed by Vicki Lawrence, the formidable Mama put the "diss" in dysfunctional. Mama dispenses no-nonsense motherly advice, discipline, and verbal kicks in the backside. There's her nervous sister Fran (Rue McClanahan), slow-witted son Vint (Ken Berry), his bubble-headed girlfriend (and later wife) Naomi (Dorothy Lyman). Plus frequent appearances by Betty White as Mama's snobbish daughter, Ellen, and Carol Burnett as Mama's uptight daughter (and anger-management-class failure) Eunice. As you may guess, this isn't the Brady Bunch!
