Episode Notes |
| |
In the first and second seasons, there was an opening by Harvey Korman, whom portrayed "Allistair Quince" in these openings. These are not shown in syndication, and maybe explain the odd sequencing of episodes.
| Mama's Family is actually a spin-off of the sketch on "The Carol Burnett Show" called "The Family" which had a different set for the house, and Vint was not Mama's son. Instead, Mama had a son named Phillip who was an actor. And Fran did not live with Mama. And there was no such thing as Naomi.
| Throughout the first and second seasons, though listed as a guest star, Betty White and Carol Burnette will appear in the opening credits that they guest star in.
| Mama had 3 other sons Phillip (Roddy McDowell), Jack (Tommy Smothers) and Larry (Alan Alda) from the sketches on Carol Burnette. They were never mentioned again. Vint (Ken Berry) did not appear on the Carol Burnette Sketches
| Shown as the 4th episode in syndication.

Episode Quotes |
| |
(Fran sees everyone moving things and asks Ellen what's going on)
Ellen: Fran, Mama has some bad news and some good news for you. The bad news is... there isn't any good news.
| Fran: One must chew one's food.
Mama: One doesn't have to chew eggs. You just let them slide down your throat
| Naomi: If you're not gonna pay any attention to me, I'm just gonna have to take it to the small claims court.
Mama: Well, take it to the Supreme Court for all I care! They can always work in one more lunatic.
| (Sonja is reading a story she found in her new room)
Sonja: Gladiola said hush to her confused mind as the senator's strong, primitive body slowly crushed her to the ground.
Mama: Well, how did this smut get into my house?!
Fran: That is my BOOK!
Sonja: Wow, that's hot stuff, Aunt Fran.
| (Looking at the bag of walnuts Vint brought her)
Mama: Just what I need: some more nuts in this house.
| Mama: I need a beer. Only way I'm gonna keep from going crazy around here is to stay half lit.
| (Ellen looking at her old english composition notebook)
Ellen: Ohhhhhh, "What I Want To Be When I Grow Up" by Ellen. "I want to be a famous movie star, an author, and one of the richest women in the world."
Mama: None out of three ain't bad.
| Mama: (referring to Vint's first wife Mitzi Harper) Well, I warned you that that ding-a-ling wife of yours was gonna run out on you one day. Lord, I knew the minute I layed eyes on that woman, she wouldn't paddling with both oars in the water.

Episode Goofs |

Perhaps the biggest flub of the series: Fran is upset about losing her studio, indicating that there are 3 bedrooms upstairs. Mama's, Fran's, and Eunice and Ellen's old room (which Sonya got when she moved in). But Later on, in episode 36, Vint and Naomi are upset about losing the upstairs room to Bubba. If there were 3 bedrooms upstairs before, what happened to the other one?
