5.0 out of 5 stars
A horror star, a comedienne, and a Broadway singer on Vol. 20,

This review is from: The Carol Burnett Show - The Collector's Edition / Vol 20 (DVD)
Show #1 (1975): The legendary horror movie actor Vincent Price & the talented comedienne Joan Rivers are the guests. Included: A sketch about a distinguished mystery author (Price) who meets his match in a young girl scout (Carol) during a book signing; Carol & Vicki do a musical tribute to famous people from Brooklyn, which eventually cues Rivers to do a hilarious stand-up routine; theatrical couple Funt & Mundane (Carol, Harvey) find themselves sabotaged & ambushed during their stage performance by their understudies (Vicki, Price); a marathon spoof of then-current T.V. shows like "Police Woman", "Chico and the Man", "Rhoda", "Tony Orlando & Dawn" (the genuine articles make a cameo), and "The Waltons" (their spoof is called "The Walnuts"); and the climax is an amusing chorus version of "Peter and the Wolf".
Show #2 (1976): Up-and-coming Broadway star Kay Cole is the guest. So impressed was Burnett with young Cole's performance in "A Chorus Line" that she invited her on the show. Included: A sketch about a woman (Carol) going to extremes to prove that an accident victim (Harvey) she injured is a phoney; an amusing bit of banter as Carol & Co. give Cole their support (and advice)--she soon demonstrates her great voice in a musical number; the always-worth-waiting-for "family" sketch, which introduces Ed's (Harvey) twerp-of-a-friend/employee Mickey (Tim) in a celebration which soon disintegrates into another family argument; and a musical climax with songs all about rain. Again, two good shows with a crystal-clear DVD remaster!

I bought this for my dad. These shows never get old. He has watched them over and over.
