- Quotes
as Thelma "Mama" Harper: You ain't playing with a full deck, Eunice. I think somebody blew your pilot light out!
Carol Bradford: Oh, boy. That's a new one, Mama!
as Thelma "Mama" Harper: You wait, there's more, Eunice!
Carol Bradford: Oh, no!
as Thelma "Mama" Harper: You know what? You've got splinters in the windmills of your mind! You're playing hockey with a warped puck!
- Crazy creditsIn the closing credits, the charwoman (an animated caricature of Carol Burnett) is seen in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen mopping the floor. As the credits roll she suddenly turns and notices them and for the rest of the sequence she leans on her mop and watches them move from bottom to top (except for a brief pause to scratch her behind).
- Alternate versions1972-78 episodes were re-packaged in a half-hour format (with the comedy sketches ONLY) and sold to local stations in syndication as "Carol Burnett and Friends."
- ConnectionsEdited into Diagnosis Murder: Comedy Is Murder (1997)
Featured review
The Greatest Variety Show Ever
i can not understand why this show is not in reruns. I'm writing a letter to TV Land, to ask why they have never aired this on their network. What makes this show so good, is the chemistry between the perfect cast. A variety show like Saturday Night Live is greatly dependent on the chemistry among its cast members. When one of them leaves, it upsets the balance among the rest. This show was lucky enough to have most of its cast stay for the duration of the run, and therefore, it is the best.
