Mama's
Family
lives on DVD in this hilarious compilation of the Sixth
Season
on DVD from Star Vista! Capturing the hilarious antics of Mama
Harper and the Harper Family and starring Vicki Lawrence (credited as
Vicki Lawrence Schultz here), Ken Berry as Vent, Dorothy Lyman as
Naomi, Beverly Archer as Iola, and Allan Kayser as Bubba in this
season, which aired between 1989 - 1990 and was the last season of
the show.
A
spin off of the Carol
Burnett Show,
Mama's
Family
continues to be relevant and is vastly superior in terms of comedic
timing than many shows on television nowadays.
Guest
Stars in this season include Liz Torres, Anne Haney, Robert Mandan,
Stacey Q and more!
Some
highlight episodes include Mama's
Medicine Show
where after reading about how much it costs to raise a child, Vint
and Naomi decide to start a business selling bottles of Mama's
mother-in-law's "miracle tonic", Tri-State's
Most Wanted
where Mama is attracted to actor Leslie Lemoyne, until she sees him
on Tri-State's Most Wanted (the local version of America's
Most Wanted),
and believes that he is the infamous widow waster. Now
Hear This
where an intercom is installed in the Harper House and causes all
sorts of problems and An
Affair To Forget
where Mama suspects that Vint is having an affair with his new
trainee Heather, so she and Iola go to his workplace to investigate.
The
show looks great on DVD and is captured in standard definition with a
4:3 fullscreen aspect ratio and a lossy 2.0 Dolby Digital track that
improves upon the original broadcast.
Extras
include Interviews
with the Producers, Writers, Vicki Lawrence, and the Costume Designer
of the show.
I
never get tired of watching this show and feel like its charm will
never fade. It's great that this show now gets a second life on DVD
so that fans like myself can see the seasons in their entirety.
Recommended!
