program opener:
Katrin:
"I remember the big white house on Elm Street,
and my little sister Dagmar, and my big brother Nels,
and Papa. Bust most of all, I Remember Mama."
Mama was one of the best-loved of the early family comedies,
and was in many ways the prototype of the "growing Family"
series which later proliferated on television. There were
no cheap gags or bumbling parents, but rather a warmhearted,
humerous, true-to-life account of a Norwegian-American
family of five making their way in turn-of-the-century
San Francisco. Events in their lives are seen through the
sentimental eyes of Katrin, the older daughter, an aspiring
writer who records their daily activities in her diary.
Episodes focus on Mama, warm, wise, compassionate, and
loving, the guiding light through their difficult times.
