- Thelma_Harper abstract "Thelma Mae Harper (nee Crowley), also known as Mama, is fictional character played by Vicki Lawrence. Thelma is a Southern, 65 to 68-year-old senior citizen, with a southern drawl. She is the widowed matriarch of a rural, Southern family.Mama first appeared as a supporting character in The Family sketches on The Carol Burnett Show, followed by the Eunice movie (in which the Mama character dies and owns a different home as between the precedent sketches and subsequent show, creating plot holes), then as the main character in the sitcom Mama's Family (first on NBC, then revolutionized in first-run syndication), and finally in the ongoing Vicki Lawrence & Mama: A Two-Woman Show. With Lawrence continuing to play the role into the present day, the "Mama" character has made numerous other post-television show appearances, such as on Hollywood Squares; The Talk; "Larry the Cable Guy's Christmas Spectacular" (2007); "Betty White's 2nd Annual 90th Birthday" (February 5, 2013); etc.Lawrence performed on The Carol Burnett Show for 11 seasons. In the 7th season in 1974, The Family skit was created, which debuted the "Mama" role. Four years after The Carol Burnett show ended, the TV-movie-special Eunice (the character of Mama's daughter) was broadcast. The special included the key characters from The Family sketches, including Mama. The skit turned movie was spun off for a third time with a sitcom that surrounded the "Mama" character. Mama's Family has two contrasting lives. This is as result of the show's cancellation from NBC after one and a half seasons (1983 to 1984). In 1986, the program was relaunched in first-run syndication, where it enjoyed a highly successful second life all the way to its series finale in 1990.By the "Mama" character's full development on the second life of Mama's Family, Thelma had spent much of her time tending to the housework and nurturance of her loved ones, constantly engaged in cooking, cleaning, and providing loving support to her family. She ruled the roost with a smart mouth and snappy retorts; an explosively quick temper; and a brash, rough and abrasive manner. Mama solved most of her problems with a can of budweiser; a purse whack; an object slam; a shove; a startling shout; and a healthy dose of wisecracking insults and criticisms."Carol Burnett was originally supposed to play the "Mama" character while Lawrence was to play her daughter, but because Burnett's desire to swap roles, Lawrence played Mama. In her autobiography, Vicki called Thelma "the only role which I got to go to makeup to get ugly!" It is Lawrence's most well-known role.".
