www.youtube.com Mama's birthday. The skits,the characters,the outrageous costumes,the foul ups,and most importantly,the performers themselves got me in front of the set as a child every Saturday night.From Carol's Tarzan yell to Eunice and Mrs. (uh)Wiggins,from Tim's Old man sketches to Mr. Tudball,from Harvey's dressing in drag to the troubled Ed Higgins,from Vickie's high pitched voices to Mama Thelma Harper,this show was an absolute delight.It's unfortunate that the variety show is a thing of the past,because they were far more entertaining than the overwhelming barrage of reality shows that contaminate our screens today.This was,as best as I can recollect,the last great variety show.I miss it!
