ORWEN: I always felt sorry for poor Eunice--having to grow up with a mama like that. Not to mention snooty old sister, Ellen Harper Jackson!! ORGOCH: Ketch yer broomstick, sister! Ain't NOBODY in that whole dang fam'ly can hold a candle ta Mama!! The world'd be a better place if'n ev'rybody'd start followin' HER example! ORDDU: Anyway, there was once a fan web site devoted to Mama's Family that we conjured up in our crystal ball a while back. We don't remember the name of it, but I'm sure you'll find it if you do one of those google search things. They even had some scripts available to read from some of the episodes. The one that stands out the most--in our minds--was the one called 'Mama Moves Out'--where Eunice and Ellen get into a fight over who's going to have to take care of Mama when she's too old to take care of herself. ORWEN: Hmmm...that reminds me of the same sort of disagreement you and I sometimes have, Orddu--over who's going to have to take care of a certain nasty old biddy in HER declining years!

Originally Posted By Witches of Morva ORDDU: You're welcome, dear. We MORE than appreciate Mama's Family.

ORWEN: By the way, we made a mistake about the script we mentioned back there. The script for Mama Moves Out had Jim Neighbors guest starring as a cab driver and this was one of the sketches on the Carol Burnett Show. ORDDU: I seem to recall that--many years ago--there had actually been some talk between the Disney Channel and Carol Burnett about reviving Eunice Higgins in some form for them. But apparently the talks fizzled out, which is a shame. Carol used to say that Eunice was her favorite character to play. Eunice and Mama together was the most perfect commedy team ever, in our humble opinion. So sad they didn't get to act opposite each other even more than they did.

Originally Posted By chickendumpling Get OUT! You did *not* get your eyebrows waxed! Did you? I thought you said *real* country boys didn't do those sorts of things. hahaha
Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy I did so! lol Well, I'm not the Skoal-NASCAR-cowboy hat/boots-rodeo kinda country boy...more "country roots", lol. But really, the eyebrow wax is a reg'lar thang fer me now. I never woulda thought about it until the gal who cut muh hair in college suggested it, promised how great it would look, said lotsa guys do it now, and eased me into it (I had that typical "male insecurity" about "such a thang", lol). But I was open to it cause I *do* tend to have a unified "Bert 'brow" (Bert from "Sesame Street"). I thought it was a neat new-fangled thang tuh have *2* eyebrows, so I'm a waxer fer life, LOL. So if Vicki sees me, she'll see a TALL Disney Guy with not one, but *two* eyebrows!
