The Carol Burnett Show (1967–1978)
10/10
the show

Great cast of characters! They were like pieces of a fine swiss watch,who all fit perfectly, and timing was always correct.I was watching an A&E special,and was still rolling from Mc Hale's Navy, and Carol Burnett clips. He and Korman are a very underrated all time comedy duo. Vicky Lawrence, as seen by her great performance in Mama's Family is also a versatile person.Carol Burnett went out on top,and the show could have lasted longer. Conway is hilarious in the "Dorf" videos. Ialmost cry with laughter when I watch them. Where has that great type of comedy gone? With the lack of imagination,need for instant gratification,hip-hop influenced immorality,and deviance running amok in the world, we'll probably never see it again.

My favorite comedy of all time.I have the DVD,and watch it at least twice a month.The comment the prior poster made about the "PC Commies",I agree with.It's start to finish funny.Many great role players.Madeline Kahn,Alex Karras,who is just a "mere pawn in the game of life",Slim Pickens,etc. I thought Harvey Korman stole the movie,as he did as "History of the World,Part 1.A classic.Brooks is one of the greatest comedy writers of all time.He can really assemble a cast and have them play off each other perfectly.Madeline Kahn,was again,one of my favorites.She was also great in Young Frankenstien.The best line of the movie has to be the scene where Gene Wilder is holding Cleavon Little by the scuff of the neck,and Sheriff Bart asks the question,"Hey,where the white woman at?"
