The series began two years ago, with four original episodes of ''The Honeymooners'' that had been missing for 30 years. ''I Remember Mama'' is the third exhibition in the Museum of Broadcasting's Discovery series, an ongoing search for classic programs believed to be lost. The titles for the five remaining weeks are ''Mama and Papa,'' ''The Children,'' ''Relatives and Neighbors,'' ''Family Affairs'' and ''Mama: The Year On Film.'' Each program comprises three half-hour episodes and is shown three times in an afternoon. ''The Three Stages of Mama -Radio, Live, and Film,'' which runs this week, presents the original 1948 radio broadcast with Miss Dunne, ''Citizen Mama,'' which spawned the TV series, the kinescope of a 1950 live telecast and a filmed 1956 Christmas show. ![]() Each week of the exhibition will be devoted to a different aspect of the show. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the trio will reunite with the show's original producer-director, Ralph Nelson - who is now a film director, known for ''Requiem for a Heavyweight,'' ''Lilies of the Field'' and ''Charly'' -for two public seminars at which they will reminisce about the early days of television and answer questions from the public. Judson Laire, who died in 1981, two years after Miss Wood, played her husband, Lars. In the television program, the late Peggy Wood portrayed Marta Hansen, the wise, gentle matriarach of a Norwegian immigrant family trying to make ends meet in San Francisco at the turn of the century. The series was based on Kathryn Forbes's book ''Mama's Bank Account,'' which spawned a successful play by John Van Druten and a 1948 movie, both titled ''I Remember Mama,'' and a radio offshoot starring Irene Dunne. '' 'Mama' was very important as the precursor of the domestic comedies to come - it set standards and defined the approach for programs like 'Father Knows Best,' 'Leave It to Beaver' and 'Make Room for Daddy,' '' said Robert Batscha, president of the museum, which is at 1 East 53d Street. ![]() For the next six weeks, the show, which ran from July 1, 1949, to March 17, 1957, will be honored by the museum in ''I Remember Mama,'' an exhibition consisting of seminars and screenings. Beginning Tuesday, it will warm the hearts of television buffs who journey to the Museum of Broadcasting.
