I would love to see a complete set of Mama's Family including all of the original, uncut episodes (Joe Hamilton's family or Carol Burnett might know where they are). And you can include the following:
All of the Family skits from The Carol Burnett Show
The 1982 TV movie Eunice
And the reunion episode of The Vicky Lawrence Show
And imagine packaging it in a box that looks like one of Mama's wigs or have it in the shape of the house.
This is a set the country would love! |

Member since: 5/9/2008 | | RE: The Complete Mama's Family | | John Hamilton (Joe's son) does own the unedited master tapes, but the terms of the distribution agreement he has with Warner gives them exclusive rights to DVD releases. According to Hamilton, this prevents him from releasing the 1st and 2nd season shows himself, and Warner has never approached him to acquire the unedited shows. That's pretty much where it stands. |

Member since: 6/23/2009 | | RE: The Complete Mama's Family | I'd love to see Mama's Family the way it was shown in first run. YouTube has a few Alister Quince introductions, and I'd love to see them intact with the episodes themselves. I love the packaging idea of using Mama's house. I'd also despreatly would like to see the first, second and third seasons the right way, from the production numbers, because I hate watching the first season because its shown grossly out of order.
Does anyone know when Warner Bros. rights exspire on Mama's Family?

Member since: 10/13/2009 | | RE: The Complete Mama's Family | I just got the first season of Mamma's family and I couldn't believe how long ago it was released and NO SECOND season yet?????????? come on now, I see all the stupid stuff that's out there, and I would LOVE to have a box set of Mamma's family ! don't care how much it would be- I think its about TIME we did a shout out for MAMMA because the show sure made us LAUGH. unlike the shows of today. Carol Burnette and Vicki Lawrence [sorry if misspelled]- well they were VERY good actress'es and the show is soooo funny. I want to start a petition to get mamma' family out there ! who is willing to help/?? Its been since 2006 ! for goodness sakes its not right to have only one season out. There are people who enjoyed mamma's family and I and my mother and neighbor love it. !! so come on lets get started on Mamma's Family season 2 or a box set! money don't matter- laughter does. ! |

Member since: 2/24/2009 | | RE: The Complete Mama's Family | | This show unfortunately was the victim of a no-win situation when S1 came out on DVD in 2006. It was one of the most highly-anticipated releases of the year, yet when a pre-release review leaked that the episodes were cut and did not include Harvey Korman's original introductions as "Alistair Quince", fans cried foul and MANY people cancelled their pre-orders. I was not one of them, as I really wanted to support Mama's (it has to be in my all-time Top Five of favorite series), but was still disappointed. Warners tried to defend themselves saying they didn't own uncut masters, and poor sales discouraged any sign of a S2 or beyond on DVD. I have written to them asking for a MOD release if nothing else. |

Member since: 7/21/2011 | | RE: The Complete Mama's Family | | Its so odd that season 2 said it didnt sell well? I remember that i had a hard time getting it~! I went to Best Buy the second day after released and it was SOLD OUT. Then I went to Target and the space for it was EMPTY! I ended up having to order it online. I thought sure that was a good sign for the rest of the seasons to come out. |
