    I used to watch Mama’s Family all the time. I didn’t realize Vicky Lawrence was that young. I knew she wasn’t that old because I had seen her outside of costume.

    I grew up in the 80s – My mother and I loved Carol Burnett, was a fun and clever, hilarious lady. That show and here cast are just amazing.
    I think my sense of humor and the absurd comes from there; I couldn’t imagine a word without it ! Thanks for years of fond memories !!

    ‘Here’s Agnus. She was born in Germany, her parents are German. She lives in current times. She entered the United States illegally and her activities are suspicious. Agnus Shweitzhaufer!’

    Which came first: the first Family sketch or All in the Family?

    edit: I replayed the video. If Vicki was 24 with the first sketch, it would be 1973 or, maybe 1974. All in the Family premiered in 1971.
