That is very disapointing news. I'm less disturbed about "Mama's Boyfriend" because I didn't really care much for that episode but anything that Carol Burnett appears in is pure gold. Time LIfe still claims that all of the NBC episodes were provided by John Hamilton and are the original...

It's possible, but since this was over twenty years ago, she may have misremembered. Someone contacted TVShowonDVD.com and asked them to check with Time Life about these so-called lost episodes a few months ago. They did, and Time-Life in turn checked (presumably with Warner and Joe Hamilton...

Thank you Rob. There is a comment on Time-Life's Facebook page from someone who bought both season 1 and 2 at Best Buy who says that there are a total of six edited episodes over both seasons. So that means that four episodes from Season 2 are also edited. Boy does that stink. Completely...

I guess we could have seen this coming... from Time-Life's Facebook page: Time Life I apologize for the delay in reply. The set appears to have been delayed at the manufacturer, though we are working hard with them to try to get it shipped out this week. We'll announce here when they start to...

I'm sure StarVista is planning to release all six seasons, depending of course on sales of season 2. Since a lot of fans probably bought the botched Warner release, the sales of the first season probably aren't as important as season 2. I ordered the complete set on the second day it was...

I noticed that also. StarVista probably doesn't know anything about the show being shut down after the first few episodes were produced, and then retooled to make the characters more likeable. They probably just assume that NBC aired the shows in the logical order, not knowing that the first few...

Just a head's up that another online retailer, Deep Discount, now has all four Mama's Family releases scheduled for September 10 available for pre-order. As of now, Amazon still only has the Season 2 listing that was supposed to go away along with the other three releases a few weeks ago...

Sorry to disagree, but I read the same interview with John Hamilton from around the time Warner's first season release came out and while he did say that his contract with Warner prevented him from releasing the NBC episodes, there was NO mention in that interview of this being only for a...

Actually, the production numbers are correct. Mama's Silver and Alien Marriage were the first two episodes filmed. Neither NBC or Vicki Lawrence liked what they saw. The main complaints were that the show was too dark and the main characters (Mama, Vint, Aunt Fran) were too unlikeable so...

TVShowsonDVD.com indicates that Walmart has prelisted the new season 1 Mama's Family and the description indicates that the "Eunice" movie will be included as an extra! Box art is also there and the street date is still listed as September 10. This has not been officially announced by StarVista...

I imagine most of the sweet-talking was with Warner since as early as 2007, John Hamilton was quoted as saying that he was more than willing to provide them with the uncut masters for seasons 1 and 2 but that no one from Warner had approached him before the season 1 release, nor was he expecting...

Since "Eunice" is also a Joe Hamilton Productions property, it's certainly conceivable that T-L could have acquired the rights to that along with the uncut Season 1 and 2 masters. We shall see.

Wow. For once, an announcement that's prefaced with the term "incredible" that's totally justified. This is the best TV on DVD news in years. Being a professional skeptic, I honestly never thought that Warner (or whoever) would care enough to acquire the unedited "Joe Hamilton cuts". It's been a...

Agree completely, although only the NBC episodes (Seasons 1 & 2) have the edit issue. The runtime of the first-run syndicated episodes (Season 3-6) were three minutes shorter than the NBC episodes to allow the local stations that signed on more commercial time. It would seem totally senseless...
