Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What show did "Mama's Family" spin-off from?

Answer: The Carol Burnett Show

Vicki Lawrence, who played Mama, was a regular cast member on The Carol Burnett Show. She was supposedly hired because of her close resemblance to Carol Burnett. "Mama's Family" started as a sketch on the hit comedy show, and soon became a show of its own.

Answer: 3

He had two kids, Sonya and Buzz, from his first marriage to a woman who left him to go to Las Vegas. He then married Naomi and they had a daughter, Tiffany Thelma.

3. What was Iola's only niece's name?

Answer: Vernette

Iola's niece came to stay with her and during her visit, Bubba was going to a dance, but his date cancelled. Iola and Thelma volunteered Vernette without Bubba's knowledge, but he had already gotten his date back. He ended up taking Vernette anyway because his date was a snob.

4. What is Mama's beverage of choice?

7. What does Vint dress up as during his and Naomi's stay at the adult motel on their anniversary?

Answer: Bull

8. Where do Naomi and Vint plan on going after their wedding?

Answer: Arizona

During the episode where they get married, they keep saying how happy they are to finally leave the house and Mama keeps saying how happy she is they're leaving. They end up coming right back home though, because they were cheated out of all their money.

9. Whose son is Bubba?

Answer: Eunice

Bubba is Eunice's son, which makes him another one of Mama's grandkids. Eunice and Ed moved to Florida before Bubba got out of reform school, and they put the responsibility of taking care of him onto Mama's shoulders. Bubba was played by Allan Kayser.

10. What was the name of the Reverend's snobby wife who disliked Mama?

Answer: Alberta Meechum

Rev. Meechum's wife was Alberta. She was a snob who didn't want to re-elect Mama for the head of the Church Ladies League for a second time. Lollie and Roselle were friends of Mama's, and Effie was one of her aunts. Thanks for playing!
