In the 80s, if a TV station acquired a film they showed it endlessly. So if you’d seen it once, you’d probably seen it a hundred times. This amount of repetition helped movies that already had memorable scenes and original lines to become utterly seared into the minds of the American public. Mommie Dearest (1981), in all its melodramatic glory, was one of the films to benefit from this.
