The Rose Marie operetta sketch at the end of the show is my very favorite of all time. I laugh every time I watch it.

Wow we sure had some fun uplifting shows for the family back then. Thanks Carol & Wonderful Ensemble. You guys the VERY BEST.

[@Elle281-fm1yi]

I grew up in the 70's watching Carol Burnett, The Bionic man/Woman Sonny & Cher, Lawrence Welk, and the Grand Ole Opry! There is nothing even close to this caliber of a show here in 2024.

[@Helloder-v1z]

Love Carol Burnett so glad your healthy and doing well. Love you Lady!!!!

[@ashleypatel5461]

Loved that spider dance, that was cool!

[@alonsovaliente281]

Los 70 son una época de oro para la televisión. Carol también es una de las reinas de la comedia clásica norteamericana

[@annetteparker305]

Her comedy is FABULOUS

[@pinkydogbear]

so true

[@wmcki76058]

This was delightfully fun to watch. Naughty Marietta and Rose Marie are two of my favorite classic movies. Also, I had no idea Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman could sing so well.

I never knew that Carol's actual little sister Chris was in one of the shows! They have the same beautiful smile!

It’s Vickie Lawrence,,,,not her real sister

[@Rach1313]

@@Daftok In one of the episodes her real sister was an extra in a couple of the sketches and Carol told the audience when the show was finished in the end Song that carol sang while celebrities signed the autograph book. I know that Vicky played her in the Carol n Sis sketches.

Watching Lyle and Harvey dance together for extra laughs really saddened me 🥺.. made me wish if human life span was 200. Those two may have left us too soon but they’re forever to us.. alive. So long buddies... 🖐🏻🍃💐

I love 💕😘 Carol 🤩 she is amazing and smart i wish she could come over my house someday and she's funny 🤣🤣

[@crivket1233]

Lyle is the PERFECT TV Beefcake 🥰

[@classicalaid1]

He is a perfect foil for Harvey. A dreamboat and credible actor who never even intended to be a performer.

[@Elle281-fm1yi]

So are his sons!

[@vickieharris9834]

I always ♥ Carol Burnett hair style like is

[@myrabraxton4289]

Carol had that magic touch with teenagers! I believe it came from raising her younger sister Chris! When you have an open communication with young people that says a lot about your character!

[@beenaplumber8379]

That boy who asked about her mouth or her body slayed me! Imagine being so well known for kindness and... all people skills really, that a teenage boy would feel comfortable asking her such a provocative question in front a live audience and on national TV! I'm sure he and his parents knew she'd give a great response rather than making it an uncomfortable moment that we'd never even see in a cutout reel. Teenagers don't make it easy for you to get to know them, but you're right, she had a way in with them. I adored her as a teenage boy. Sometimes it even felt like a crush, but mostly it felt like she was my friend.

[@classicalaid1]

@@beenaplumber8379 Some of those questioners sound pre-determined and some the real deal.

[@beenaplumber8379]

@@classicalaid1 Yeah, I can't imagine she had plants in the audience asking for her Tarzan yell :P But it would be silly for her producers not to have a few ringers in the audience.

Its amazing ...because many years later Chita Rivera played the Kiss of the Spider Woman! And won a Tony for this theatrical masterpiece !

[@Puddycat00]

I wasn’t impressed at all. What did she do really but slither around, hang on that fake web, she didn’t do anything special. Kiss of the spider woman was also crap. I guess they give anybody a tony for any crap reason.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

I won't defend that show, but think how hard it was to balance on that, to descend by stepping across yourself, and doing it all at just the right time, all her weight on one leg at a time, and making it look easy to stupid you.@@Puddycat00

Very funny skit...

[@russellschmidt1414]

I remember this episode I was very young S4 was 1970 I would have been 2yrs old😂

[@shyman99]

Chita Rivera's dance segment is performed to a live version of Blood, Sweat, & Tears' hit, "Lucretia Mac Evil". I'm sure there must be an interesting story behind that decision. Super cool.

[@RepentfollowJesus]

Well it was a popular song at the time . They often get ideas from songs and certainly from old movies.

[@shyman99]

@@RepentfollowJesus - Yes, but playing an unreleased live recording of a song to a dance routine is something I don't recall happening in TV history. You can even hear the audience in the recording.

[@rhsharp]

I noticed that the Harry Zimmerman Orchestra did a prelude at the beginning of the song. At first, I thought they had Blood, Sweat and Tears record a special version for the show, but you're right, it's from a live performance somewhere. Really cool.

[@beenaplumber8379]

@@rhsharp Was that David Clayton Thomas singing with the Harry Zimmerman Orchestra, recorded live before one of Carol's audience at an earlier taping? Was that actually David Clayton Thomas? It sounded like him but kinda different, which always happens in live recordings. Or was it another talented singer they found who just happened to have that kind of soul in his voice? I'd really like to know. It was a fantastic vocal performance in any case.

[@rhsharp]

@@beenaplumber8379 I really don’t know.

I find it interesting that Harvey plays the hero in the finale. Usually he plays the villains.

[@DreamDancer82]

@@cserannie80 When I first saw this, I didn't know that, but after thinking it over, that's what I figured. I'm just surprised that it was Harvey and not Lyle who had the male lead.

[@1bornconfused922]

Harvey was the male lead in Rancid Harvest, A Lovely Story, something in s10 with Carol playing a Broadway star obsessed with her cultivated pose 🤣 and Harvey plays a former theatre critic turned piano player who fell in love with her years ago when he wrote his first piece about her performance

[@beenaplumber8379]

27:48 - That was a Kodak Instamatic 126 with spring-loaded flash cube! Is there anyone here in their 50s & over who didn't have one of those? Super cheap, super simple, and tough as nails... except the latch on the film door... I had to tape mine shut after a while. If you didn't have one of those, you probably had a Polaroid type 88. For the younger folks, the Kodak/Polaroid thing was roughly equivalent to the 60s/70s version of the Mac vs Windows thing.

[@lizcademy4809]

Not me ... I had my mom's Brownie camera. My kid brother (born 1961) had the Instamatic.

[@michaelmcgee8543]

Wasn't the girl scout sequence on another earlier episode of the show? Now originally the music of Chita Rivera dance was played in monaural, but, obviously more recently was stereo enhanced . I don't think back then they had an episode audibly broadcast on FM stereo radio, even though this was done on Disney and an episode of the George Goebel show in 58.

[@RepentfollowJesus]

Not with that song.

[@BenjiOrthopedic]

Carol had some amazing guests on her show - including many who appeared multiple times. She and (producer-husband) Joe Hamilton did not have "everyone who was anyone in Hollywood" as guest stars. Nope. They only had those who fit the format of their show. Gloria Swanson was an example - Hollywood legend and star of like 50 motion pictures - not a comedian by far, but she was able to do what they needed. Bette Davis never was a guest. Maybe just as well. Even many comedy TV stars of that day were not invited to appear if they felt they weren't a fit. That's called good production values. Much, much later - 30+ years or so, when Carol was praised by Tim and Harvey for the show's longevity, she finally admitted, "Joe and I had very good taste." We never saw Joe. I've never seen any interviews with him. He died more than thirty years ago now but he was quite the producer. Prior to his marriage to Carol, he produced a lot, including "The Garry Moore Show", where he met Carol. As his marriage to Carol was ending in the early 80s, he took on his last production job which was "Mama's Family", the Burnett Show spinoff.

[@beenaplumber8379]

Get out more! Take in a few shows featuring a local dance company. Music theater is everywhere, and the big Broadway and West End shows have touring companies you can see if you don't live in NYC or London. I love a lot of the amateur stuff I've seen locally. (I can afford their tickets.) There's a lot of talent around that could use your support :)
