About The Carol Burnett Show
While there’s no truth to the rumor that “CBS” ever stood for The Carol Burnett Show, for eleven seasons and 278 episodes, this star-studded extravaganza of sketch comedy, song and dance became entertainment central for the network and TV viewers. Burnett operated in a relaxed theater setting that allowed her to take questions, cut loose with her famous Tarzan yell and join fellow performers Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner to have a laugh or sing a song. The show received 25 Emmy Awards and eight Golden Globes, making it one of the most honored shows in television history.

I know Carol is a very modest, shy person off camera, but on camera it's like she transforms and is just always naturally hilarious.

[@cdes1776]

WoW! Sonny and Cher look so young, carefree and innocent.

[@monicakelley2733]

I watched her all the time with my dad on Saturday nites . It was our little ritual and we played backgammon at the sametime. I really miss those moments with my father.

[@yevettebamber4273]

I could swear this show came on at 10pm on Sunday nights. I was born in 1964 and remember watching it with my Grandma late 60's thru the 70's. I live in Fl.

[@kenyattasimpson8468]

I hope that tv network executives will see this and bring a show like this back on television. Carol set the precedent of how a family show should be...

[@michaelmcgee8543]

Carl Burnett show humor reflected the late 1960s, just as to days t.v humor reflect the 20,00. Please remember back then you had laugh in and The smother brother show, which was a bit edgy for the time. Carol would express certain issues like pollution at the end of the show

[@davesoucy1086]

I don't think so. I think the networks Force things down our throats nowadays and that's why they don't have the viewers anymore. A show like this would work today for sure.

[@Sakrysta]

Honestly, Sonny & Cher were such good sports during Harvey & Carol’s song because that was a brilliant parody - both their performances and the song itself. 😂

[@TwiZoneInc]

Yeah that was hilarious - obviously, Sonny and Cher were quite a few steps better than Carol and Harvey in terms of their musical ability and that's what made it so funny. I remember when Sonny died 25 years ago and Cher spoke at his funeral. They were long divorced but you could tell that the bond between them was eternal. It was heartbreaking.

[@poetcomic1]

@@TwiZoneInc Sonny took a 2nd rate rock singer, found a narrow range in which she could sound good and worked to make her reach her limits in that range and wrote songs that worked for them both.. She freely admitted that Sonny MADE her and was NOT the modern controlling monster, but really quite sweet.

Carol ninety was my life ❤️ we always had a talent show at my school and my two friends and myself performed a skit of mama and family 🤪 it was a hit and I remember that day always!!!! To me it was Lucille Ball and Carol Burnette

[@RBS_]

...I've said this before....Lyle Waggoner TRULY never received his proper accolades being a part of this CLASSIC TV Series; he was handsome, but we was VERY adept at the comedic timing needed for his parts, and showed versatility in his singing, dancing, & acting...a TRUE talent, that should ALWAYS be added with Tim, Vicki & Harvey..... RIP, Lyle... (47:43)

[@andrewbuhman1066]

And he was ripped, too...

[@karlakor]

Is Lyle Waggoner dead?! I had not heard that. I will have to look him up on the Internet and learn about his passing.

[@rtususian]

The problem was Lyle left the series around 1974, so his shorter tenure I think did him in a little bit. He should have stayed with the series until the end. Harvey actually also left the series before the very end, that was why DICK VAN DYKE was added to the cast but for some reason that didn't work out, even though you would think it would be a smash!

[@RaineStudio]

@@rtususian Van Dyke was hardly a drop-in replacement. Very different energy. I think this is when TCBS jumped the shark.

[@RaineStudio]

Lyle was perfect. Handsome, with just enough smirk to let us know the straight man was in on the joke.

[@melreslor2114]

Nanette several years later played the mother of Mary Richards on the Mary Tyler Moore Show, a bit part in only two episodes as "Dottie". 'Nette who was born in 1920, outlived MTM who reached the age of 80.

[@seltaeb9691]

We all die & that was decades ago & Cher is still rocking. There is an affectation on KZbin of RIP no matter decades or decade ago. There is a time & place for it in a recent death or in a family remembrance of a loved one but here it has become overused & lessens its proper use. There was a discussion about Ray Harryhausen film but one person made his fair comment then out comes, yes, RIP Harry. Bonkers

4:50 - this was only the eighth show into 11 years that the Carol B Show was on, and even by then, Q&A was already such an important part of this show. And the kids were very much a part of that.

It's cool that Sonny and Cher, who were on what I guess was "a competing variety show" appeared on Carol's show. Although I can't remember the years their show was on - maybe it was later than this.

[@tpajay]

It was. This was filmed in 1967 & The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour started in 1971. Both shows were on CBS. It was not uncommon for guest stars to appear on variety shows, even from a competing network.

I really have no idea why the first five years of Carol's show has been hiding for so long.

[@rtususian]

Carol was the one who refused to let them be released in syndication on CAROL BURNETT & FRIENDS. She was embarrassed about how she looked in those early seasons and some of the silly looking 60s fashions. And in her later years she disliked her "goofy" persona on those early shows.
