Before that could happen, however, she agreed to star with Vicki Lawrence and Ken Berry in “Mama’s Family.” The series went on in 1983 and for much of that season she did both shows, the ABC soap in New York, the NBC comedy in Los Angeles.It was a demanding schedule but it helped make the versatile actress a household name.“That was one of the happiest times of my life,” Lyman recalled.
