Mama

"Mama's Family" mined humor from a squabbling family in the Midwestern blue collar suburb of Raytown. The noisy clan was headed by Thelma Harper "Mama" (Vicki Lawrence, "The Carol Burnett Show," "The Vicky Lawrence Show") a buxom, gray-haired widow with sharp opinions and a sharper tongue who shared her small house with her high-strung sister Fran (Rue McClanahan, "The Golden Girls"), a journalist for a local paper. Mama's lazy, dimwitted son, Vint (Ken Berry, "F-Troop") a locksmith by trade, moved in at the start of the series with his troublesome teenage children, Buzz (Eric Brown) and Sonja (Karin Argoud), after his wife runs off to become a Las Vegas show girl. Much to Mama's disgust, Vint soon took up with the flirtatious neighbor Naomi (Dorothy Lyman, "All My Children"), who works as a checker at the local grocery store, Food Circus. Episodes include: "Vint And The Kids Move In," "For Better Or For Worse," "The Wedding (1)," "The Wedding (2)," "Family Feud," "Cellmates," "Mama Gets A Job," "Double Standard," "Mama's Boyfriend," "Fran's Dress," "Alien Marriage," "Positive Thinking," "Mama's Silver".
