Thursday, June 07, 2007 SEASON TWO DVD NEWS!:
A recent chat with WWW.TVSHOWSONDVD.COM and Warner Brothers have showed that Mama's Family may be released on DVD if the fans of Mama's Family feel the syndicated edited cuts are good enough for fans. They do not own the rights to the unedited original cuts and they are only allowed to supply the edited cuts. Warner Brothers will not release another set unless fans are willing to buy their version. We need you to sign our official petition in our message board to help generate sub-sequent seasons of Mama's Family on DVD.
TVSHOWSONDVD.COM'S Gord Lacey has agreed to help us with the petition and contact Warner Brothers about our petition, isn't that great news! We would all appreciate you to go over to our message board directly and please sign the petition to get Mama's Family Season 2 and subsequent seasons released on DVD, please help make this official petition a success. The ball is in our court, let's not screw this one up.
Good Lord! I bet the neighbors are just loving this. Mama's Family mined humor from a squabbling family in the Midwestern blue collar suburb of Raytown. The noisy clan was headed by Thelma Harper "Mama" (Vicki Lawrence, The Carol Burnett Show, The Vicky Lawrence Show) a buxom, gray-haired widow with sharp opinions and a sharper tongue who shared her small house with her high-strung sister Fran (Rue McClanahan, The Golden Girls), a journalist for a local paper. Mama's lazy, dimwitted son, Vint (Ken Berry, F-Troop) a locksmith by trade, moved in at the start of the series after his wife runs off to become a Las Vegas show girl. Much to Mama's disgust, Vint soon took up with the flirtatious neighbor Naomi (Dorothy Lyman, All My Children), who works as a checker at the local grocery store, Food Circus.
Important Note: To see future releases of later seasons/era's of this outstanding long running series (1983-1990) be sure to order the latest release.

MAMA KNOWS BEST!
WARNER HOME VIDEO BRINGS THE HIT COMEDY SERIES
MAMA'S FAMILY
TO DVD September 26, 2006
BURBANK, CALIF. (June 19, 2006) – Good Lord! Warner Home Video is bringing one of television's most beloved dysfunctional families to DVD this fall with the release of Mama's Family: The Complete First Season on September 26, 2006. The two-disc set will include 13 episodes of the show's first season and will retail for 26.97.
Mama's Family, the delightfully offbeat comedy whose successful run spanned from January 22, 1983 to March 12, 1990, originally began as a skit on the legendary Carol Burnett Show. Entitled The Family, the sketch was roughly based on Carol Burnett's childhood and was such a hit that it generated its own spin-off series which premiered on NBC.

"Mama's Family is one of those shows that has a unique appeal because of its offbeat humor which pokes fun at the faults and dysfunctions of a quirky mid-westeren family. The premise of the show was great, the cast was terrific and, the story lines were funny," commented Rosemary Markson, WHV Vice President, TV Marketing. She added, Mama's Family is one of those shows that gets better and better season after season. For years fans have anxiously been asking us to release it on DVD and we are delighted to bring it to consumers at last. There is no other series like Mama's Family. it has such character, charm ad appeal. It's meant for those who want to take a break form everyday life and just have a great laugh."
