Very sweet, down to earth guy. I didn't care for his predecessor, but he did have a nice butt. As a footnote, there was mild tension between Carol Burnett and "Mama," because Carol's then husband was producing the show, and they went through a divorce. She didn't say, but I gather Carol felt Ms. Lawrence should have dropped the show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-26082257239733920242022-08-13T07:29:58.304-04:002022-08-13T07:29:58.304-04:00Bubba appeared in season 3, episode 1.

Carol Burnett was not on the show anymore, even as a voice on the telephone, but they figured a way to let Bubba stay with Grandma, to add a teenager to the show. I'm not sure why they wanted Bubba instead of Buzz and Sonia from the earlier season. Maybe the actors weren't available, or mayb they wanted someone hotter, to provide beefcake interestNYSocBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658785942817017972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-71192163929219382312021-10-06T17:02:14.775-04:002021-10-06T17:02:14.775-04:00Wait, wait.

I wasn't living in West Hollywood during the first season of "Mama's Family," so I don't know if he was a heart throb, but probably not. Gay men in the 1980s were very careful to not express any interest in teenagers, or actors playing teenagers.NYSocBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658785942817017972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-61176384429284430612018-06-07T05:58:51.025-04:002018-06-07T05:58:51.025-04:00Buzz and Sonia were alluded to in the first episod...Buzz and Sonia were alluded to in the first episode of Season 2, and then retconned into having never existed.
