Reviews

O2D I don't understand how anyone could ever enjoy this show.I watched eleven episodes and only laughed once.It's hard to know for sure but it seems like they parody a lot of very old movies that no one under fifty would have ever seen.Maybe if I was sixty or seventy years old I would get more of the references.It blows my mind to hear that people consider this a great show.I guess half a century ago people would laugh at anything.This is definitely a show that you should avoid.

edwagreen This show was an amazing hit due to the fine comedic talents of Carol Burnett and a terrific supporting cast of Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman and Lyle Waggoner.Those sketches of Burnett will be forever etched in the minds of television viewers. Who can forget Mrs. Wiggins or Nora Desmond, the latter a take off on the brilliant performance of Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond in 1950's "Sunset Boulevard?" Swanson, at one time, guest starred on the Burnett show and stated that she never realized that Norma Desmond was such a comical rather than tragic figure.I'm so glad we had this time together.

TxMike Carol Burnett is a talented singer and comic actress, and I don't doubt that she could have had a successful one-woman TV show. But she didn't try. Her variety show was wildly successful because of her supporting cast. Before Saturday Night Live ever existed, Carol and her regulars were putting on hilarious short skits.Tim Conway was arguably the most inventive and funniest guy on TV back then, and maybe even in the history of TV. He had this way of crawling into the character he was playing and make it completely off beat. Add to that all the ad libbing he did, and in many episodes you could see the others on stage with him barely restraining their laughter. Harvey Korman was also a jewel in the crown of her show. He was not as inventive as Conway, but was mostly effective as an ensemble player, and often the butt of Conway's humor.Vicki Lawrence was an interesting cast member. I remember when she was added. Carol was looking for a 'look alike' to play her sister, and Vicki was chosen from among a group being considered. She was not new to show business and even has a hit record on her own. She joined the troupe and became a TV success eventually with her own show.The list of funny and talented personalities that joined Carol on her show at various times is almost endless, but some of my favorites were Ken Berry, Joel Grey, Dick Van Dyke, Lyle Waggoner, Nanette Fabray, and Jim Nabors, trained operatic singer who became famous as Gomer Pyle.

CHPK Carol and Joe Hamilton made a family feeling for the whole cast and Crew.She wanted everyones insight and her ego was not driving that show it was love and chemistry.she surrounded herself with the best.she could stand on the side and let others shine-that is rare in todays business of look at me-She knew she couldn't carry the show she needed the support of others to make the whole show great.She looked about what it meant to have a great second banana because she was one on Garry Moore.She couldn't have picked a better one-Harvey Korman who cut his teeth as a second banana on The danny Kaye Show was the best choice.Vicki lawrence because one of the finest comediennes in around.The only negative I have is that I didn't like when Tim Conway broke up H.Korman.it ruined many of sketches.To be honest my Dads best work was when he wasn't in a sketch alone or with Tim Conway-is best work was in Blazzing Saddles because for that moment he proved he didn't need Tim Conway to be funny-just my opinion
