Can you tell the difference between Mama’s Family and The Carol Burnett Show?
The Harper family starred in sketches before getting a sitcom.
Though they are now some of the best-known parts of The Carol Burnett Show, the iconic family sketches with Vicki Lawrence as a cranky southern mama always at odds with her daughter Eunice didn’t start until season seven, over halfway through the show’s run. Before the first sketch aired, the writers even had doubts about its prospects, especially having 20-something Lawrence play the mother.
Of course, now that decision seems like nothing but a stroke of genius and one of the reasons the sketches are so funny. The sketches were so popular, they spawned the sitcom Mama’s Family that lasted six seasons and 130 episodes!
Carol Burnett was obviously a part of every family sketch on her show but she also appeared in a few episodes of the sitcom, along with other famous Carol Burnett Show faces.
