I love all the old sitcoms!! Mamas family, golden girls, good times, all in the family Archie's place, Maude Jeffersons, Sanford and son threes company! They don't make them like those any more!!
Another great vlog!! Vicki Lawrence is one of my favorite actresses and I love Mama's Family! What makes me love it even more so is I graduated from Raytown High School in Missouri! We like to think Mama's Family is about our town. There is an episode that mentions 63rd Street which is a major street in Raytown. Also a little more Raytown trivia Cynthia Fee who sings the theme song for the Golden Girls is also a Raytown graduate. We are Raytown proud!
@@monicatdelgado1971 Vicki Lawrence says in an interview on TH-cam that the characters and the southern vibe of the show came from Carol's "Texas and Arkansas roots."
You always put me in a good mood even on my sad days. I love your content. This brings me back to a better time. You’re a great guy Jordan. Thank you so much!
My favorite episode was when rue went before a judge and confessed she took the tag off the mattress that was not supposed to be removed!! Love that show!!
I am a big Mama's Family fan so I really enjoyed this. Keep up the good work. I use to imagine what it would be like to have the Harper's for neighbors! LOL!!
My sister was in school with Vicki Lawrence, and, I went to school with her younger sister, Joni in Inglewood CA. Joni and I were pretty good friends in school in 1967/68. They moved out of Inglewood, and I never heard from her again. Too bad they didn't have social media in those days. We could have kept in touch! 🤔
Love Mama's Family! But FYI, shoes that are hanging across wires like that is one way that drug dealers "communicate" ( i.e. territory markings) It also let's potential "customers" know that drugs are sold in that area.
@@DazewithJordantheLion it is I live for it every week night even thrw it's reruns I love it There will never be a show like that ever again nothing can ever replace it ever I was born in 83 when it came out I have always wanted to see the house man that was cool to see it
Correction to the video: The Carol Burnett Show ended in 1978/79 and Mama's Family debuted in 1983. So Vikki didn't leave the Carol Burnett show to make Mama's Family, as the Carol Burnett show was already over.
Mama's Family is 👌👌 I love when iconic locations look exactly the same. Makes me happy! Edited: I wasn't done watching and i just got to the Halloween part lol! So cool!
Amazing! I'd always assumed a crew went to a town in Missouri, to do the outside shot of Thelma's house (in my head, it was Sikeston, which is about as close to a real-life Raytown as you're likely to find). And I figured that the town in 'Halloween' was somewhere in Central California - not LA. But with LA's endless variety of topography and microclimates, you can find pretty-much any 'look' you want (probably a big reason for the Film Industry's remaining there).
I loved Mama’s Family even loved it on the Carol Burnett show. Never knew why Vince’s kids left and never said anything about them anymore. They named the baby Tiffani Thelma or Thelma Tiffani I cannot remember which one.
I didn't know the reason they cancelled the show was Vickie just being tired of playing in it. That makes me sad. The ending never really felt right to me.
My uncles and aunts lived in that house. It's an attic upstairs, but that's it. The entire set was made in Hollywood. This is an actual house but the people that live there don't like people coming onto their property all the time. The set was made in Hollywood, but the house is real. There are people that live there, but they don't like to be disturbed. The top floor is basically a dump of an attic. I know this because my aunt lived there. It's a nice house though, but Hollywood made it seem so much bigger than it really is. It's located in Hollywood, near the Palm Springs area. Halloween was also filmed in that location. The set was the only thing that made this house famous, the house itself was just a basic home with an attic that everyone could see through. It was an awful looking house from the outside but it had Hollywood style. I do love this house though.
Shoes on the powerline is too mark your neighborhood. It has been used by gangs but not started by gangs. Some also consider it to be goodluck for being able to return home.Military etc
Traditionally, whenever you would see a pair of sneakers up on a wire in front of someone's house, it usually meant, "Drugs sold here". In my neighborhood in NY, anyway. Just my two cents. :)
One of the most commonly believed reasons shoes are thrown over power lines is to signal the location of a crack house or prime drug dealing spot. Dangling shoes can also be the symbol of gang members claiming territory, especially when the shoes are hanging from power lines or telephone wires in an intersection.
That park is on Santa Monica Blvd. not far from where I live. I live near Capitol Records. Mama's Family is such a great show. Halloween is my favorite movie. I'll have to go to South Pasadena and check out the location for myself. Thanks.
Hi Jordan, I agree with all of the positive praises that folks have posted! Your videos are informative, entertaining, and historical time capsules. I think that in the episode where Naomi had the baby she decided to name the baby Thelma. Thank you for your videos on TH-cam!!
Mamas family was great loved it we had some awsome movies filmed here in west mich couple of places they made movies at are down the street from my house
I know for sure, that home owners and tenants receive money for allowing the filming..I was talking with a realtor, and he told me that he can hook me up to allow filming of my home, but I haven't purchased a house yet.. FYI, the house was sold on February 28 1996.. When the filming took place, there were other people living there..
Thanks for all the cool vlogs. I’m enjoying them. You said it would be cool if somebody was binge watching your vlogs. Well that’s what I’m doing. I’m a year behind but by Thanksgiving I’m hoping I’ll be caught up.
It's very interesting how a Carol Burnett sketch ended up turned into a fairly successful sitcom. It's very unusual and I'm not surprised that NBC wanted to kill it as soon as they could. Fortunately it got picked up and they made what I think are the four best seasons, from 3 to 6. Thanks!
Shoes on The Wire means drugs can be bought in the area. My nephew's and niece's told me that years ago LOL. Seriously none of us use drugs but they knew that cuz they were teenagers who knew everything.
I love the show and still watch it. So hilarious. Vicky Lawrence had another show recently called The Cool Kids. It disappeared shortly but was really funny.
You mentioned where Mr. Ed was filmed , and that got me thinking that I wondered where the house was that they showed in the opening shot. I tried to do some research, but was unseccussful . Do you know??
You bring great vlogs Jordan, everything is enjoyed by this viewer. I am learning about people and places I did not know so a big shout out to you. Cuddles for Jah, Over in my country people started putting shoes, bras on fences.....go figure
I would watch the original airings, when I was a teenager. Now I watched the show's rerun's with my mom here in L.A., on Sundays 5:00, and 5:30. I was wondering if the show was filmed in Pasadena, because the house looks like many homes in Pasadena. I would say to my mom that the house looks like a house that maybe located in Pasadena. She said, "Or maybe Monrovia." I said no. I don't know why I knew that it was Pasadena and not Monrovia, because Monrovia has similar homes that look like that. I googled it, and yes the house is in South Pasadena. I was right, since I had driven past the city back when I did promotions for Ralph's grocery store, and I would do my sister in law favors and deposit money at her postal credit union located in S. Pasadena. I would see homes similar to the one on Mama's family..
There was balasters attached to the pilar's, and now the are gone. Google the homes address.. 1027 Montrose Street, South Pasadena California. I currently watch this show with my mom, on Sundays in Los Angeles from 5:00 and 5:30, and I watched the show when it was originally fresh on the air back in the 80' s when I was a teenager.. Everytime I see the credits, I tell my mom that the house seems to be in Pasadena.. I found out watching the video that was right
I watch mama's family every night on channel 33 in Bergen county nj. It use to show 2 1/2 hour shows now i just get one show at 6pm est m-f. I have seen each episode at least 20 times. Mama still makes me laugh
Mama's family went off the air for 2 years. It was actually cancelled. Then they decided to put it into syndication in 1985. So the show ran for 100 contracted episodes. 1985-1990. Carol Burnett was so mad at Vicki Lawrence for rebooting the show with her ex husband Joe she wouldn't talk to her for years. Mama's run for mayor was shot at a different house. In the first 2 seasons Mama had a different house.
Kevin Eaton, thank you for your comment I just ordered all six seasons of mama’s family but on the first two it shows a very small White House and I stared to think I was going crazy!
You’re absolutely correct! That smaller house is actually in St Louis Missouri... right around “Raytown Missouri”. (Watch Mama Buys a Car” and you’ll see old Missouri plates on the car, even!) That St Louis house still exists today!
Hello I'm a big fan I watch every video of you but I was watching the video that you made about the Mama's Family House I was watching an episode of Mama's Family recently and it was the episode where it's Mama's Family parent teacher conferences or Eunice and Ed had to go to Bubba's teacher and have conference with her and they bring Mama along and it was very interesting to me because in the episode it was mentioned about a chicken salad sandwich and mama was telling Eunice how to make it and Eunice brought up the fact that she had more than one son and I thought that is being interesting because in all the other episodes Eunice never had more than one son other than just Bubba

I think this is my all-time favorite sitcom. I have every show memorized. It’s like the TV version of comfort food for me. Thanks Jordan!
I still watch Mama's Family. I grew up on that show. Much love.
I love all the old sitcoms!! Mamas family, golden girls, good times, all in the family Archie's place, Maude Jeffersons, Sanford and son threes company! They don't make them like those any more!!
That's when TV was was good...
Yep
Mama’s family reminds me of the relationship I had with my aunt. You know how Thelma and Eunice are always segueing.
Bickering.
Andy Griffith Show too!!
Mama's Family was a hilarious show.
Yep it sure is

In an interview Beverly Archer said Mamas Family is based in Missouri 👍
@@monicatdelgado1971 Vicki Lawrence says in an interview on TH-cam that the characters and the southern vibe of the show came from Carol's "Texas and Arkansas roots."
Mama's Family, The Golden Girls, and Designing Women were my three favorite shows when I was growing up, I never missed an episode of any of them!
Mama's family is classic!!
Mamas family was so good. I love all the old comedies. Thank you Jordan for making this happen today.
It's April 2019 and whenever I can watch Mama's Family I will. Love it.
You always put me in a good mood even on my sad days. I love your content. This brings me back to a better time. You’re a great guy Jordan. Thank you so much!
My favorite episode was when rue went before a judge and confessed she took the tag off the mattress that was not supposed to be removed!! Love that show!!
What episode was THAT?!!!! They seem to play just a few episodes, over and over - and not some of the funniest ones.

@@johnfire3194 Thank you!
I loved Mama's Family, I grew up on it. Thank you for this vlog.
I have very fond memories of watching Mama’s Family back in the day with my grandma
I love that show ..I still watch all the reruns.
This had me smiling through the whole vlog. The end when you are so happy, it rubs off, it made me feel happier! Great job, Jordan!!! ❤️
The scarfs are for the homeless for the winter and people are also putting coats around poles
I am a big Mama's Family fan so I really enjoyed this. Keep up the good work. I use to imagine what it would be like to have the Harper's for neighbors! LOL!!
I love love Mama's Family and I almost know all the shows by heart but I keep watching just incase that I have missed something along the way. Thanks
My sister was in school with Vicki Lawrence, and, I went to school with her younger sister, Joni in Inglewood CA. Joni and I were pretty good friends in school in 1967/68. They moved out of Inglewood, and I never heard from her again. Too bad they didn't have social media in those days. We could have kept in touch! 🤔
I watch mama's family every Sunday from 2pm to 7pm I used to watch mama's family back in the eighties with my mom Laurie Alvaro
Big fan of a lot of the old sitcoms love mama's family, use to watch the carol Burnett show all the time. Thanks, Jordan 🦁
Love Mama's Family! But FYI, shoes that are hanging across wires like that is one way that drug dealers "communicate" ( i.e. territory markings) It also let's potential "customers" know that drugs are sold in that area.
also, I said harold Lloyd's short was called "Safety First". it was actually called "Safety Last". misspoke..
Daze with Jordan the Lion I love you because your from Dayton and I'm from Toledo !
Loved Mama's Family, Such a classic show good times.
I love the show and Vicki is doing her show at a casino in Baton Rouge in July. It’s interesting to know that the house from these shows do exist.
You can see The Mama's Family House on the 1978 movie Halloween on the street where the 3 girls were walking by in the street in Pasadena.
Thanks Jordon, I loved mama's family.
Beautiful house. Although i wish the current owner would add back the white picket fence and lattice to the porch.
Wow I love that show still watch the reruns aone of my favorites.
It's still hilarious
we love mama's family.

Perfect dysfunctional family I 😍 watching this show even today on re runs .Thank you so much for the info and efforts 😊
OMG. That hedge....I have to see this house now for sure!!!!
Mama’s FAMILY IS MY FAVORITE TV SHOW OF ALL TIME WE SAW VICKI LAWERNCE DOING HER STANDUP IN SARASOTA FLORIDA IN THE 1990’s
Mama's Family always been one of my favorite old time sitcom.

Those are spots in the hood commemorating where someone was murdered or died

I lived on a military base for years. Shoes or boots on a line mean " I'M GOING HOME".
I love the mamas family. Thank you for the vlog.
That was amazing! Good for you!! My favorite show. 🥰
1 of my fav shows.Mama' s Hilarious!!!😂😂😂
Watching all your old vids, great.

She also sang The Lights Went Out In Georgia which Reba re did
Did you see Vint & Naomi's trailer parked at the driveway ?
I loved the episodes with Beverly Archer and Alan Kayser the best, because to me those were the funniest.
Thanks man, Vicki Lawrence reminds me of my Grandmother.
Mamas family was great loved it we had some awsome movies filmed here in west mich couple of places they made movies at are down the street from my house
The sneakers on the wire is to tell you that gangs are in the area. They do it here in Massachusetts
So enjoyable about mama’s family.
Pause at 6:09 look at the long bush, it’s actually the same bush that Michael Myers hid behind while stalking Laurie and her friends
Yes indeed
Does anyone know how much the homeowners would have gotten paid to have their house used in the credits?
I know for sure, that home owners and tenants receive money for allowing the filming..I was talking with a realtor, and he told me that he can hook me up to allow filming of my home, but I haven't purchased a house yet.. FYI, the house was sold on February 28 1996.. When the filming took place, there were other people living there..
This is such a cool video, thanks for all the info. Love Mamas family’s, and Three’s Company.
Lmao@ you whistling the theme song. Great show!
Funny to think of my parents in this way but they were just like Archie and Edith Bunker from All in the Family. 😄
Thanks for all the cool vlogs. I’m enjoying them. You said it would be cool if somebody was binge watching your vlogs. Well that’s what I’m doing. I’m a year behind but by Thanksgiving I’m hoping I’ll be caught up.

Betty White is actually 27 years older than Vicki Lawrence
How was this house picked for movies and Momma's family?
Shoes on The Wire means drugs can be bought in the area. My nephew's and niece's told me that years ago LOL. Seriously none of us use drugs but they knew that cuz they were teenagers who knew everything.

I love the show and still watch it. So hilarious. Vicky Lawrence had another show recently called The Cool Kids. It disappeared shortly but was really funny.
