I HAVE SEEN IT!!!!


I recently ordered this movie on Ebay. It was copied onto a dvd from the original airing on tv. It was very fun to watch. It took place between The Carol Burnett Show, and Mama's Family. It had 4 acts. Ranging from the mid 50's to the 70's. It starred Vicki Lawerence as Mama, Carol Burnett as Eunice, Harvy Corman as Ed, Betty White as Ellen, and Ken Berry as Phillip (later Vinton on Mama's Family). There were mentions of Ellen's husband Bruce, Naomi, Bubba, and others who would become main characters on Mama's Family. Being a big fan of both The Carol Burnett show, and Mama's Family, this was great to watch. It is a must have for any fan of the show!!!!

I would love to get a copy of this DVD. Any idea where to find it? I couldn't find it on ebay. Thanks.

I would keep checking ebay. Maybe it will turn up. Thats where I found it. I don't know where else to find it at. Good Luck.

Awesome! I've always wanted to see it in full. I'm surprised, given it's unavailability, that it hasn't sprung up on a site like YouTube or something. (HINT, WINK)

I tried buying it on ebay earlier this year. The guy who was selling it said that his master copy had been damaged beyond repair. I don't know if this was the same guy, but it looks like until someone else puts a copy up for sale, we may have to wait for SOMONE to get it on dvd.

It looks like it is finally going to be released on DVD as part of the release of "Mama's Family - The Complete 1st Season" from StarVista Entertainment (formerly Time Life Entertainment). The description says "Includes all 13 original episodes as well as the original never-before-released made-for-TV movie 'Eunice' which launched 'Mama's Family'." It's scheduled for a Fall 2013 release.
