I filmed the following unboxing video the day I got my
set in the mail (September 12, 2013). I planned to post this the day it was
filmed but due to technical difficulties, I was unable to. I'm sorry it's
not very good quality; the only camera I have that I can transfer videos to
my computer from is my old digital camera, but I did the best I could with
what I had to work with. Also, when you watch this you may think from my
tone of voice that I'm not very excited about the set, but let me tell you -
when I filmed this, I was consciously composed and business-like and
it took everything I had not to squeal like a little girl when I first
opened it. Enjoy:
Below is the disc breakdown. There are 130 episodes and
over 13 hours of special features spread out over 24 discs - 3 in Season 1,
4 in Season 2, 4 in Season 3, 4 in Season 4, 4 in Season 5, 3 in Season 6
and the 2 bonus discs. I've listed which episodes and special features are
on each disc and their run times. Some episodes have edits due to music
licensing issues or other things worth mentioning and those are noted
underneath each of those episodes, too.
Season 1 - 13 Episodes on 3 Discs
Disc 1:
"Vint and the Kids Move In" (25:00)

Disc 2:
"Cellmates" (21:23)*
*NOTE: This episode appeared to be the edited-for-syndication version because it runs much
shorter than the rest of the Season 1 episodes, the Harvey Korman/Alistair Quince
introduction (if one was filmed for this episode's original broadcast) is missing and the
opening credits contains the shots of the house used in the series' syndication edits,
rather than the original house used in the original NBC opening. Time Life/Starvista
confirmed this is the case, 9/19/13. The original broadcast master of this episode did
"not [withstand] the test of time and [was] lost."
"Mama Gets a Job" (24:57)
"Double Standard" (24:57)
"Mama's Boyfriend" (21:24)*

Intensive Care.
"Amateur Night" (24:06)
"The Mama Who Came to Dinner" (24:02)
"Mama Learns to Drive" (24:06)*
*NOTE: The Harvey Korman/Alistair Quince introduction for this episode appears to be missing or
has been cut (for reasons unknown). Unlike several other episodes from Season 2 that
don't have introductions (where it's possible they never had one to begin with), you can
tell this episode had one originally because a split-second remnant of it can be seen just
before the opening if you pause the episode at the beginning (right after hitting play from
the menu) and go frame-by-frame. But, because the episode DOES have the original
NBC opening, it seems to be otherwise uncut.
"Black Belt Mama" (24:05)*
*NOTE: This episode has no Harvey Korman/Alistair Quince introduction, but because the rest of
the episode seems to be uncut (it DOES have the original NBC opening), it's possible
there never was one to begin with.
"Mama Buys a Car" (24:02)*

the episode seems to be uncut (it DOES have the original NBC opening), it's possible

*NOTE: This episode has no Harvey Korman/Alistair Quince introduction, but because the rest of
the episode seems to be uncut (it DOES have the original NBC opening), it's possible
there never was one to begin with.
"Mama for Mayor (1)" (21:34)*
*NOTE: The Harvey Korman/Alistair Quince introduction for this episode appears to be missing or
has been cut (for reasons unknown). Unlike several other episodes from Season 2 that
don't have introductions (where it's possible they never had one to begin with), you can

NBC opening, it seems to be otherwise uncut except for the following 2 music edits: The
part where Vint - testing the microphone just before the mayor arrives - sings "Moonlight
Becomes You" and Mama calling him a jackass is cut. And the entire campaign
sequence featuring Mama's take on "Happy Days Are Here Again" - or "Harper Days
Are Here Again" - has been completely removed. The cut begins just before Fran starts
to play the song on the piano and ends as Naomi - with Mama sitting on the back, still
exhaustedly waving from the campaign - pulls the car into the driveway.

"Last Week on Mama's Family" introduction has been edited because the "Happy Days
Are Here Again" song was used there again and had to be cut.
"Harper Versus Harper" (23:57)
"Mama's Birthday" (24:02)*
*NOTE: The Harvey Korman/Alistair Quince introduction for this episode appears to be missing or
