The hapless Harpers give new meaning to the term "nuclear family" in Season 1. Nothing is easy after son Vint (Ken Berry) and his brood move in. The Kwik-Keys locksmith marries Mama's next-door "floozie" neighbor, Naomi (Dorothy Lyman), which brings out the worst of the Harper clan at the home ceremony. All hell breaks loose when a beer-blasted Eunice (Carol Burnett) sings "Oh Promise Me." Eunice is a diva devil in cheap disguise. Self-help, positive-thinking tapes don't work for her. She turns a surprise birthday party into a disorderly conduct charge, and gets thrown in jail with Thelma, where they share some quality mother-daughter time alongside a savvy hooker. Mama reluctantly steps out from behind her apron and heads to Hollywood with daughter Ellen (Betty White) and Vint's crew to appear on Family Feud. Can they win $10,000?
