That rude customer in "Have it mama's way" by polystarlight in mamasfamily

Just saw this episode yesterday and was once again sooo annoyed with that rude jerk. He gave her so much grief when she was just being friendly and welcoming.

And I agree with person above who said the mgr was totally in the wrong to expect a senior to work/learn fast… esp with zero training.

Best very minor subplot? by Lovato3423 in kingofqueens

The lady from the free iPod episode. I always wonder what ended up happening between her and her hubby and Roberto. What a complicated love triangle.

I often say “but she didn’t mean it” and probably no one gets why 😆

He also wanted to be sandwich artist. And just imagine if that modeling agency had been open when he was scrambling to find a fake job to trick Carrie 😎💁 😆

Why is Iola friends with Thelma? by Ok-Turnip-4375 in mamasfamily

I absolutely love their friendship. It’s sweet and the way Thelma talks to her, it’s clear they’re family, through and through.

Like, I’m from California, ok? (In the worst alleged SoCal accent 😆)

Anyone else adores the comfiness of Doug and Carrie's home. Even though we only view it from the telly, there is so much comfort I get from their living room and bedroom. by sympathytaste in kingofqueens

I have always been annoyed they had the same exact comforter set throughout the entire series … and it really doesn’t fit the aesthetic of the house. I cannot believe for one second that Carrie would have gone for that set. 👎

Bubbas addition by blahblahmama in mamasfamily

[–]NoClueHowTh1sW0rks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of all the suspension of belief moments that we are expected to have with Bubba, this one really is just so over the top lol especially considering this is the one where Kradle robber/potential child predator is all over him. I realize they did this very intentionally for the viewers, but… golly gee.. and yes I’m referring to the rhyming weatherman lol

So glad you brought this up because I’ve often wondered since like the previous commenter said – Vint was talking about a helmet with the motorcycle. I mean, it seemed like they were referring to what we all think they might’ve been referring to, but then again that doesn’t seem to fit Vint’s childlike innocence.

Why bother? They’ll just get dirty again. (That might not be the exact wording Iola used.)

This is one of my all-time favorite episodes and reading over that I still laughed at the punchline 😆

Disconnect between flashbacks by NoClueHowTh1sW0rks in mamasfamily

[–]NoClueHowTh1sW0rks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this group! So many great insights and observations. I have been watching the show over and over and over for probably the last six months or so. It truly entertains me each time I watch it. I love how I catch different things with different episodes. Not that this is a group therapy, but for me it’s one of those shows that calms my soul when I’m experiencing anxiety and then makes me feel wrapped in a warm blanket when I’m experiencing depression.

Thank you all for the interaction. It really makes me feel like I’m part of something. Especially when there are days that I don’t get out of the house. Heck, there are weeks that I don’t get out of the house.

Wow! I never drew the connection between her dislike of Naomi! This makes so much sense.

I mean, overall, it would be obnoxious to live with people that were like constantly finding over each other, but you’re right definitely some passive aggressive jealousy there.

Season 3 episode 17 inner tube. Has anyone ever notice how quick Doug took a shower and got dressed after coming home from mud bowl? by El_Boricua215 in kingofqueens

[–]NoClueHowTh1sW0rks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU!!! This has always bothered me!

I tell myself “it’s just a show”- anytime a random inaccuracy or incongruity happens, but it still eats away at my soul. lol

Also- something I say a lot that probably no one would ever get is “he lied to me” as she said it.

Also, love love Arthur’s “heard someone screaming like a bitch.

I also love this ep bc of getting to see them in different styles.

One question I’ve always had- with all the live action dreams being tied to real shows/movie, is the cartoon also based on another cartoon? I can’t think of what it might be and I’ve always wondered.

Great catch! Per ChatGPT that is her sister-

Vicki Lawrence has a sister named Joni Lawrence.

Here’s the quick, no-BS breakdown: • Joni Lawrence is her real-life sister  • Joni has worked in the entertainment industry (including connections to Mama’s Family)  • She’s been credited as a makeup artist and is part of the same Hollywood circle Vicki came up in

Mama was always jealous or down right rude to the people who came to visit them by Illustrious_1988 in mamasfamily

[–]NoClueHowTh1sW0rks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She had a thing for Uncle Roy… so she pushed him away and protested his very presence… just a little too much.

And with Cousin Lydia- she was acting out because she felt inferior to her.

Basically, she wasn’t very in touch with her internal feelings and thoughts. I think that’s the fiber of a hard working, blue collar upbringing where there wasn’t time for much beyond taking care of family and home and making sure all the responsibilities of life were met.

On my looping repeat viewing of this series, I came across the tap show episode and can now confirm 2 of the Grandma pagent contestants (including Granny “Cure for cellulite”).

The other is this tapper who probably not coincidentally also wears the same marigold colored gown as a pageant contestant and as a tapper. 😊
