MAMA'S FAMILY - THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON

Details

• Release Year: 1983
• Genre: Comedy
• Plot: In the world of prime-time television, success often begets success by way of the spin-off. The Carol Burnett Show lasted eleven seasons on CBS, thanks in part to the recurring comedy sketches that attracted a large, loyal viewership. 'The Family' remained a favorite because fans related to the Harpers' constant squabbling about mundane stuff. As the irascible Mama Harper, Vicki Lawerence was wondrously transformed into a full-tilt senior citizen, and it wasn't a matter of if, but when, she would get her own TV series.; ; The second season of Mama's Family finds the Harpers matriarch meddling and peddling he homespun wisdom to anyone within earshot. She ghosts as an advice columnist for her sister, Fran (Rue McClanahan), and helps spring cousin Gert (Imogene Coca) from a retirement community after livening up a birthday party there. Mama takes her lumps, especially when she's clocked by a pot while making gooseberry jam with daughters Eunice (Carol Burnett) and Ellen (Betty White), or dealing with dimwitted son Vint (Ken Berry). But you can't keep the old lady down for long.
