[Opinions] ...Higgins. Or Chantilly. (m)
in reply to a message by Lily
Eunice Higgins was from "Mama's Family", and Eunice Chantilly was from "The Cosby Show." Can't hear the name without thinking of one or both characters, though we never saw Eunice Chantilly (she was Cliff's high school sweetheart, before Claire.)

Higgins!I mentioned that Eunice too. I could not remember her last name for the life of me. That family was so dysfunctional. I don't know why I loved that show so much. As a seventh grader. Haha!

I loved it because the family was dysfunctional. It was refreshing to see in the 80's, when every other sitcom was gooey-sweet and taught you a lesson.

You know, that's probably why I liked it too. Mama was the absolute best though. Even as young as I was when I was watching it (and they were all reruns; I was too young to see the originals), I was like, "How can x, y, or z be so dumb?" Vicki Lawrence is a very talented woman.
