The Mama’s Family Appreciation Thread 2

I loved Thelma’s song “Oh Raytown”.

Sonja was a total dud

I liked the episode where Thelma works as a receptionist at Raytown travel

Oh Raytown

They cut Eunice’s part in the community play and Mama can’t believe she’s standing for it. Lol

One of my favorite pieces of shit.

Eunice crashes the bridal party!!

Requisite Bubba's bulge post

I loved the episode where Naomi got mad at Vinton for smacking Bubba's keister too much.

Anyone else like this show other than the trolls who stink up Mama’s Family threads who goon to Bubba?

that is one of my favorite eps

I cannot get the theme song off loop in my brain

I am on a MF binge today! Blasting the theme song loud out of sound bar

I’d give anything if Food Circus was a real grocery store. I’d do all of my shopping there and only go through Naomi’s checkout lane.

I went shopping at the Galoraya mall

Too pricey for me. I'll stick to Ray-Mart.

Why is there no MommaCon or RaytownFest?

I condole Vicki on the recent loss of her husband, Al. Saw her last night on an episode of "Lopez vs Lopez." and she looks pretty good for a 75 year old. I think she would be great in a reboot of the series.

I’m watching it on Pluto TV. Mama found a Casanova magazine under Bubba’s mattress.

I caught a few episodes over the weekend during the marathon on catchy tv.

Momma would have voted blue but the rest of the family. . .

Vicki’s best ad lib

Iola’s invalid mother - much like Hyacinth Bucket’s possibly gay son Sheridan shared at least one thing in common.

The Rashomama episode was the best show of the original network run.

Just saw an episode where they were eating at the Bigger Jigger rib night all you can eat for $4.99. Iola had only one order and Thelma complained that she needed three to beat the house. Those were the days.

spot heaven mama

Mama appears on Jeopardy. There’s also an episode with the family on Family Feud.

R27, wasn’t she on Wheel too, or am I dreaming?

Mama uses the cash machine.

This is no time for this only marginally funny sit-com.

R30, do you know what you get when you put your brain and my brain together?

My brain

Mama is MAGA.

Mama’s too smart to be hoodwinked by a character like Trump. Vint, seeing as he lived in his mother’s basement would probably pretend to love him in front of the his buddies then reply with a sad “Yes, Mama” when Thelma dresses him down. OG series Naomi knew his type all to well and would be anti, but syndication Naomi would be on board. Bubba I’m on the fence about, since he was getting his education and had a reform school background, hopefully he’d be Never Trump Republican at least. Iola would be anti because he’s so vulgar but Mother would be a full bore Q-Anon conspiracist. Buzz would be anti but Sonja would think it’s cool and unique to be MAGA. Aunt Fran would definitely be against. Eunice and Ed would be MAGA. Ellen would be a country club Republican who held her nose and voted for him but would think he’s tacky. Aunt Effie would be anti. Tiffany Thelma would probably be pro-Trump mainly because she was born in a RV parked in her grandmother’s driveway.

R30 is that tub of lard roselle huplander

Another excellent episode is the one with Iola meeting a "new best friend." Surprisingly, Mama gets jealous of the friendship but has them both over for high tea. Mama learns that the new best friend is anxious to get rid of Iola, who is suffocating her with her constant presence. Arlene listens to Mama's advice and is honest with Iola which hurts Iola's feelings deeply. Beverly Archer will break your heart in her reply. Happily, the whole thing is resolved in the end and the extra bonus is we get to see Bubba's great legs.

The late, great Mary Pat Gleason plays Arlene Madison.

I watch 2 hrs of Mama’s Family on Pluto TV every evening

I’ve been watching a lot of Carol Burnett the past couple of weeks. It helps.

But every time The Family skit comes on I swear I think I’m watching the genesis of MAGA.

R37 you sound like an uptight gay wad

This evening's episode was the appearance of Cousin Lydia also played by Lawrence.

It was so GRAND!

Mary Pat Gleason - another performer who spent time acting (and writing) on Guiding Light.

Honestly, I’ve been thinking about getting the DVD set for Christmas for myself. CMT has got where they only run Mama’s Family once or twice a week and I still don’t think I’ve seen every episode.
