S08E21 - with Roddy McDowall and Bernadette Peters
Synopsis
Three actors played Eunice's brothers in "Family" sketches: Roddy McDowall, Tom Smothers and Alan Alda (a fourth brother, Vinton, was played by Ken Berry in the signoff series, Mama's Family). This eight-season show marks the second of Roddy's three appearances as Philip, a Nobel Prize-winning writer whose success is lost on Eunice (Carol), Ed (Harvey Korman) and Mama (Vicki Lawrence). Roddy also appears in one of the series' sharpest movie parodies, "The Lady Heir," a terrific take-off on The Heiress. The episode's other guest star, Bernadette Peters, sings "All That Jazz," appears with Carol in a bit about typists who are the same type and joins the company for the mini-musical Paris finale (featuring the songs of Fiddler on the Roof composers Harnick and Bock).
