This review is from: The Carol Burnett Show / The Collector's Edition - Vol 22 (DVD)
From 1975: Show #1 has Tim Conway as guest (before he became a regular). Included: A "family" sketch has an injured Mama (Vicki) recuperating in Eunice & Ed's (Carol, Harvey) home after a nasty spill...and then proceeds to get on their last nerves; the "oldest man" (Tim) is a hospitalized witness to a crime, with a cop (Harvey) trying vainly to get information from him (Tim's physical comedy here is astounding); Carol & Vicki perform the lively song "Mama's Got A Date" (originally aired on an earlier show); a wishing well spells trouble for a couple (Carol, Harvey); a clever sketch about two robbers hitting the same cashier (Tim); and a musical Egyptian Nile finale.
From 1976: Show #2 is a "family" show; no guests, just regulars. Included: Another "family" sketch has Ed looking forward to a weekend of convention fun...that is, until it's revealed that Ed chooses friend Mickey (Tim) to come along instead of wife Eunice; the Ernest Flatt dancers in a "baby" number; a last-minute dictation from dumb blond secretary Mrs. Wiggins (Carol) turns into another exercise in exasperation for boss Mr. Tudball (Tim); a round of the game "honesty" gets out of hand for a couple (Carol, Harvey); and a poignant change-of-pace finale allows the show to look back fondly on a few of its great moments. The iconic "cleaning lady" character closes out by singing Carol's signature song. If you're looking for a volume where the regulars run the whole show, then this is the one! |
