Pearl Bailey & "F. Lee Bunny" on Vol. 16,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Carol Burnett Show - The Collector's Edition Volume 16 (DVD)
Burnett Show #1: Legendary entertainer Pearl Bailey & semi-regular Tim Conway are guests in a Fall 1972 show. It begins with a hysterical "Sunset Boulevard" sketch about network executive Tim convincing Nora Desmond (Carol) to appear in a bug commercial. What makes this sketch memorable are some unintentional boo-boo's (including Harvey Korman as butler "Max" injuring himself in a tender spot with a fake sword). Carol & Pearl are in a comedy sketch which turns musical. Tim reprises his "oldest man" character--this time, on a slave barge. Not the funniest of these bits; however, Harvey starts laughing the moment Tim enters the set. Then Carol plays a woman seeking help from attorney F. Lee Bunny (Tim in bunny makeup, and milking it for all it's worth). The show's finale pays tribute to the studio Twentieth-Century Fox.Show #2: Returning guests are Eydie Gorme & Paul Sand from Fall 1973. Includes: Husband Harvey trying to placate loud-mouthed wife Carol at a diner; Harvey in an entertaining musical excerpt from his film "Huckleberry Finn"; Carol & Paul as newlyweds on the road, and getting "honeymooner's anxiety" in a major way; and an amusing finale paying tribute to famous film series ("Dr. Kildare", "Tarzan", "The Wolf Man", and "The Bowery Boys"). It's standard Burnett Show fare, but pretty enjoyable. |
