welcome everyone Adams the woo here it's
0:04
my second channel daily Vlog channel
0:06
it's the daily woo coming to you from
0:09
the non Mean Streets of South Pasadena
0:14
the crossroads of Shong Kong Kong Oxley
0:21
Street and Monro Avenue in South
0:26
Pasadena one of my favorite areas of
0:29
Southern California because I am an 80s
0:31
child I love 80s movies I love80s TV
0:34
shows and this whole region of Southern
0:38
California is a veritable playground of
0:41
80s filming goodness and today is no
0:46
exception to that rule I would like to
0:48
show you something from my
0:51
childhood I remember watching this show
0:54
in the80s I don't know if I actually
0:56
watched it when it was on or if I
0:58
watched it when it was actually
1:00
displayed on the rods the show actually
1:03
only lasted 2 years but it spawned from
1:07
the Carol Bernett show a little
1:09
character a little show a little
1:13
fantastic compilation of characters by
1:16
the name of Mama's Family do you guys
1:18
remember that show Mama's Family do you
1:20
remember the Carol Bernett skits with
1:22
Harvey
1:23
Corman and the other cast of characters
1:26
that were on there that eventually
1:28
became a television show in the ' 80s I
1:31
believe it was maybe 84 and ' 85 maybe
1:33
85 and ' 86 could be incorrect in that
1:36
it may have even been earlier than that
1:38
the show did not do so well it only
1:40
lasted two seasons however once it was
1:42
syndicated once it was actually brought
1:45
onto the networks and actually shown in
1:47
reruns it ran for four years actually
1:50
did better in syndication than it
1:52
originally did when it was aired and the
1:55
exterior filming locations of the Mama's
1:58
Family House
2:00
are right there are right there this is
2:04
amazing this is absolutely amazing are
2:07
you ready for this prepare yourself now
2:10
for the Mama's Family House
2:21
sh there it is now if you go on YouTube
2:22
and actually watch the trailer the intro
2:24
not the trailer the intro of the actual
2:26
show you will notice they had a crane
2:28
shot that came down across the front of
2:31
this tree you can see this little
2:34
concrete area right here between the two
2:37
yards so the camera would have Swang by
2:41
this way you can see Mama herself
2:45
walking
2:47
down that little sidewalk from the porch
2:50
and picking up a newspaper she's picking
2:54
up the newspaper right there and then
2:56
walking back into the house and then
2:58
sham
3:00
Mama's Family the logo right in front of
3:05
the house absolutely
3:09
fantastic you got to love
3:11
the80s you got to love the Carol burnout
3:14
show and you got to love Mama's Family
3:18
which I didn't realize till recently
3:19
I've been watching a lot of Threes
3:21
Company lately and the director of
3:23
Threes Company actually directed A lot
3:25
of the episodes of Mama's Family there's
3:28
a cool Threes Company Mama's Family
3:30
Carol Bernett 80s tie in th's company
3:33
was late 70s into the 80s and then he
3:35
went on to direct a lot a good
3:38
percentage of the episodes of Mama's
3:40
Family of course they didn't use any of
3:42
the interiors that was all in front of a
3:44
live studio audience and in a studio
3:45
somewhere but all the exterior scenes
3:47
and especially that intro when the
3:50
camera pans down and shows the house
3:53
this is the house here in South
3:57
Pasadena and one other little tidbit if
4:00
you watch the Adam the woo video
4:01
recently the Halloween filming locations
4:03
which I did not very long ago maybe a
4:05
few days ago maybe a week or so ago for
4:08
Halloween I released the Halloween
4:10
filming locations this was actually PJ
4:14
Souls house in Halloween and you know
4:17
that hedge that Michael Myers you know
4:20
that creepy hedge that Michael Myers is
4:23
standing behind it is actually right
4:27
here look at at that the Michael Myers
4:32
hedge why am I pointing there that's not
4:33
the Michael Myers hedge that's the
4:36
Michael Myers it's very hard to get your
4:39
bearing sometimes when you're actually
4:40
looking at yourself on a screen that's
4:43
the Michael Myers Edge that's the
4:45
Michael Myers hedge no the Michael Myers
4:47
hedge is right there and you can just
4:50
expect to see not Michael Myers but
4:53
imagine seeing Mama come out from around
4:57
the corner with her newspaper her
5:00
wielding some disgraceful comments and
5:03
insults to us just like she would on the
5:06
show all right one last look of the
5:08
Mama's Family House little South
5:12
Pasadena Southern California television
5:16
history and actually it's interesting
5:18
because the show started because of a
5:21
character that was developed by Vicky
5:23
Lawrence I think her name was I think
5:25
she had a Mary name at that time and
5:26
then I think but I think now it's back
5:28
to being Vicky Lawrence she created the
5:30
character she acted the character as
5:33
mama in the show and then after the
5:35
Carol Bernett show they actually made a
5:36
movie like a full length television
5:38
movie I think it was called correct me
5:40
if I am wrong I think it was called
5:42
Eugene and it was about mama and the
5:44
whole family and because of that they
5:46
spawned it off they did the two seasons
5:48
using the exteriors of this house and
5:51
then that ended up not doing so well but
5:53
then in syndication four years it
5:56
actually become a very highly rated
5:57
actually got better ratings in in reruns
6:00
and syndication that it did when it was
6:02
originally on which is actually kind of
6:04
a rarity doesn't always happen that way
6:06
there are a lot of shows that that
6:07
happens to but normally shows do better
6:10
when they are on not when they are on
6:12
syndication so very cool little facts
6:14

written as a real song There were
7:05

7:08
Family theme song but they opted to
7:10
actually only use the instrumental

version but the song was actually
7:14
co-written by Mama herself the woman who

played Mama wrote that song pretty cool
