5.0 out of 5 stars The show at its creative zenith, May 13, 2009

This review is from: The Carol Burnett Show - Collector's Edition, Vol. 1 (DVD)

A few years ago, I bought this DVD thru Columbia House...and then foolishly gave it away, thinking an official collection bundle might be coming. Boy, was I wrong! I've now re-bought Volume One, and am staunchly holding on to it!
Carol & company hit the perfect pitch on the Dinah Shore show. This, of course, contains the "holy grail" of Carol Burnett sketches, "Went With The Wind". Of all the movie parodies they did, none can compare with this one. The writing, performing, costuming (who can forget Starlet's dress made from window curtains?)& set design were dead solid perfect in this one. Carol was terrific as usual. Vicki Lawrence was hysterical as the servant Sissy. Tim Conway offered fine comic support in his usual turn as a fumbling twit. Even guest Dinah Shore had her moments in the sketch. But the person who deserved an Emmy was the late, great Harvey Korman who was channeling every little squint & vocal inflection of Clark Gable's so well that it was downright spooky.
Add to this another inspired comic performance from Conway as his "Old Man" in a butcher shop sketch, and this volume is a real winner, and no doubt, a genuine T.V. treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Comedy Series Ever!, March 2, 2009

This review is from: The Carol Burnett Show - Collector's Edition, Vol. 1 (DVD)

It's too bad you cannot get the whole seasons of Carol Burnett Show on dvd (something to do with copyright problems I think). But since you can't, I've been ordering the collectible series released by Columbia House (I think Guthy-Renker released some too), and I am enjoying them tremendously. They don't make comedy on TV the way Carol Burnett & crew used to - wholesome but hilarious! Hopefully they'll release the seasons sometime in the near future, but till then, I'm going to keep on collecting these dvds!

3.0 out of 5 stars Typical Burnett, September 12, 2009

I assumed a "collector's edition" would be cream of the crop of the shows. It's two whole episodes and I didn't find them particularly funny or special.
