Thelma Harper began as a loud mouthed, opinionated, outspoken and hilarious old woman in a sketch on The Carol Burnett Show. Vicki Lawrence played this part well in the 1970′s on Carol’s show and eventually Mama’s Family became it’s own TV series in the early 1980′s.
The TV series is full of laughs and outrageous antics by Thelma, Iola, Vinton and Bubba. The show will bring back fun memories for those who watched it when it was on TV. Those who are too young to have seen it when it originally aired, will enjoy a hilarious step back in time to fictional Raytown and Mama’s Family.
