MeTV pays tribute to Ken Berry all week with five episodes of 'Mama's Family'
Tune in Monday through Friday for select episodes of 'Mama's Family.'
In honor of the late, great Ken Berry, MeTV is proud to present select episodes of Mama's Family all week. These five stories shine a spotlight on his character Vinton Harper — and Berry's diverse talents. Tune in each weeknight, Monday through Friday, at Mama's Family's regular time, 6PM | 5C, to catch these delightful slices of Berry's career.
We start at the very beginning, as Vint comes home to live with his Mama (Vicki Lawrence). We then move on as he commits to the love of his life, Naomi (Dorothy Lyman). Later, we see Berry's stage skill on display in "Amateur Night," when Vint enters a talent showcase at the Bigger Jigger. Keep coming back, as Vint deals with his possible adoption and brings his Binky Bunny lunchbox to work.
Here is what you will see in our tribute to Ken Berry.
