Good comment--I'm in my 20s and I couldn't agree more. Entertaining is entertaining :-)

[@Widda68]

Carol Burnett was a true team comedian by that I mean she never had to steal the show. She let the other actors and actresses shine as brightly as they could along with her. Comedy was a team sport with Carol. She clearly loved the interplay between herself and the other comics on the show. And you could see her affection for those comics come through each time. A talented and very generous spirited person. My love of my life. Certainly from TV at least.

[@ray_ray_7112]

I agree! Carol Burnett and Tim Conway were a great pairing, as well as her and Harvey Korman.

[@salamanca1954]

@@susanwenner8738 The amazing thing about her show, and it was a variety show, is that, during a period in which variety shows were dying, hers thrived for 11 seasons. When a huge audience tunes in faithfully, you're going to buy ads there, and the studio suits will love that. It's what quality entertainment is all about.

[@gabbyg7315]

I once wrote a letter to Carol Burnett. I just sent it off to her book publisher, hoping it would reach her. I felt the urge to tell her how much her humour meant to my mother and to me; as I nursed Mom through terminal cancer, we used The Carol Burnett Show reruns for daily laugh therapy - what wonderful afternoons together. My intent was just to thank Ms. Burnett, but imagine my surprise to receive a handwritten thank-you note from her. What a class act - on top of all of that talent.

When Harvey struts in, raising an eyebrow so perfectly Rhett Butler-esque, and she, as Scarlett, appears wearing the curtains (but with the curtain rod still in them, sticking out both sides of her shoulders), well, I must have seen that dozens of times and never tire of it or cracking up over it.

Ironically, this very generation depicted here is largely responsible for the havoc we see today. After enduring the stress of the Great Depression and the War, they compensated for their difficult upbringings by lavishing their children with whatever they wanted. These children grew up spoiled, entitled, and convinced that they were the center of the universe. The hedonism, gluttony, selfishness, and greed that came to define the following decades were direct results of poor parenting.

[@SomethingSomethingg]

By the way, keep in mind you're only looking at one slice of America here. This is the New York elite. If you went To an expensive Manhattan cocktail party today, people would still act like this. Even back then all you had to do was take a walk to a working-class neighborhood and you'd hear a lot of vulgar language.

[@mmjhcb]

She changed.

[@AN-vt8qq]

Wow shes still here 2018 and everyone else on that clip is long long gone.

[@blister762]

Buddy hackett and Carol Burnet. Two of the greatest comedians ever. I grew up watching them and had a crush on Carol for years. Thanks for posting this.

This episode is of my favorite of the whole series. In all this time I've looked up the TV show Carol and Buddy was on "Stanley", but I never looked up the musical she was going to be in at the time. It was finally called "Fade Out-Fade In". Believe it or not it was up against "Funny Girl" and "Hello Dolly", but Carol got into an accident in June. Tina Louise contract got bought out by CBS so she could do "Gilligan's Island". After Carol came back to the show, she still had health problems, so she finally had to leave, and the musical never recovered after that.

Wow!!! Carol Burnette was absolutely gorgeous!!

[@kathym2501]

In 64 I was a 7 and in love with the Beatles. This show I saw sometimes. A few years later I was in love with Carol Burnett and still a fan!

[@epaddon]

The series Buddy and Carol did, "Stanley" was released on DVD last year, a rare case of an obscure 50s show making it to DVD.

[@chuckcap6878]

I remember the show, 'Stanley' with Buddy. Don't remember Carol on it. Last line of the opening song,"...where do we go from here?"

[@cynthialyman2636]

When you only had three major networks competing for the attention of all viewers, the Neilsen Ratings were a big thing. It measured a show's popularity with the public and could therefore make or break a production.

[@computersoftwaretraining7937]

Very smart panelist... CB's a doll and such a good spirit!

[@moonlightray8493]

12:40 I love the way John articulated the "NO", and the subsequent laughter from Arlene and Bennett was so contagious - you hear Dorothy giggling offscreen too! I simply adore how everyone seems to be genuinely having a blast on this show.

[@crystalheart9]

I love Carol, isn't she adorable!

[@allison9615]

She is

[@scdevon]

Seriously cute.

[@bigred3164]

Carol Burnett will always rule!!! Natural performer, the comedic genius in her just cannot be contained!

[@ColettaHughes]

You could clearly see Carol's wonderful spirit :)

[@craigpennington1251]

WOW!!! Carol Burnett is drop dead gorgeous. Remember watching these shows and you learned quite a lot about things. It sure was a different world back then and I miss a lot of it and some parts NO. Thanks for the memories.

[@unclejustin7267]

Buddy Hackett is such a comedic talent and carol burnett is a doll.

[@stephenvincent4989]

A truly great comedic talent, Ms. B was a very special multi versatile performer and a legend on tv for decades.

[@solarwave]

This made me smile and feel good.

[@mistie8908]

We so need tv shows like this today. I also hope the law finds out who murdered Dorothy even though it was years ago. Rest In Peace dear lady

[@alancasey2513]

She did have addiction issues - we'll never find out the truth everybody's gone now - so sad...

[@dr.OgataSerizawa]

@mistie8908 Too late. Frank Sinatra passed away in 1998.

[@gearheadpatriot3709]

She was working on who killed JFK, think about how many Journalists have lost their lives for going after the truth, no wonder we have well paid anchors dishing out BS as news these days.

[@NRecob]

Carol Burnett = ICON & NATIONAL TREASURE. GOD BLESS YOU CAROL!

[@kitsunefire1]

"You make skis?" "No." "Why??" Buddy Hackett cracks me up

[@jowga]

Fascinating....seems that the shows throughout the years reflect its society. So whether is good or not is really subjective.

[@call2872]

Carol Burnett was absolutely delightful in the parody of Mildred Pierce named 'Mildred Fierce'. It was a brilliant skit, and she captured the essence of the character so well.

[@rmelin13231]

I never knew that valet was pronounced like that. And I've been around a while. Looked it up on Webster and sure enough, this gentleman's pronunciation is the preferred, with the alternate val-LAY being the secondary. Goes to show you how we continue to learn from What's My Line.

[@ModMokkaMatti]

Art Vandelay, the valet, laid the floral spray upon the duvet.

[@karenedmiston4721]

Loved the comradery between Buddy and Carol. They were like magic!

[@catherineleary9831]

Buddy Hackett was very quick witted.

[@martinda7446]

These are so wonderful, funny and warm. Carol Burnett was great.

[@marquonuk]

I've only recently started watching these as I'm from the UK and I don't think they were shown here (I think we had our own version), but also because I'm a little too young to have watched them anyway (something I rarely get to write these days!). Anyway, even though I don't know the regular panellists and only occasionally the guest panellist, I do know Carol Burnett! Sadly, again, we didn't get Carol on UK TV (nowhere I lived, anyway), but I've since discovered her via KZbin! Plenty of her shows on here. And she's great! :-)
