Still one of the funniest shows ever to grace the small screen.
Went with the Wind still cracks me up; a classic. Loved As the Stomach Turns.
Never did get the Tarzan call though. And never thought Mama’s Family was even slightly funny.
Some of the best moments were the cast’s inability to keep a straight face, especially Harvey Korman. There was so much ad-libbing you could just see some cast and guests trying to keep up. I’m giggling thinking of Tim Conway as the old man.
Amazing guest stars over the years, so funny to see Steve Martin and Betty White together.

THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW
Carol Burnett had such a great show… it’s really easy to remember some of the great things she and her guests did. It’s so easy to understand why some of the players laughed when they shouldn’t have, but that was when it was a live show.

I love that show. I used to look at Harvey Kormans’ face, waiting for him to crack up. He could never keep it together with Tim Conway. One of my favorite memories was a guest appearance by Robin Williams. After they had done the “Funeral” sketch, they did it again, allowing Robin to ad lib. No one could keep a straight face. Thank for the trip down memory lane.

Agreed! Sheer genius writing and improv! My fave skit was the No Frills airline one…Tim Conway was on the same plane as everyone else but his section had WAY MORE turbulence….lol!

There will never be another like Carol Burnett. So many wannabees, but no one will ever = her, or even come close.

She was one of a kind and the show is still funny, that can’t be said for many.
