5.0 out of 5 stars Much star power in Volume 17, August 15, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Carol Burnett Show DVD Volume 17 with 2 Episodes. Guests: JOEL GREY, VINCENT PRICE & THE JACkson 5 (DVD)
Show #1: From 1974...legendary horror actor Vincent Price & "Cabaret" actor Joel Grey. Grey appears in a "domestic" sketch as Vicki's date, who isn't what he appears to be. Others include: Price giving a speech about Abraham Lincoln's sense of humor on his birthday; Carol as a hotel operator listening in to the busy chatter of four parties (Price, Grey, Vicki & Lyle); and a musical climax about puppet shows.
Show #2: From 1976...The Jackson 5 & legendary clown Emmett Kelly. A wacky sketch about a governor's aide (Tim) who must contend with the governor's mentally unstable wife (Carol) kicks off the show; the Jackson 5 perform (by themselves & with Vicki as they teach her to "groove"); a movie parody of an old Bette Davis film in which Carol plays twin sisters (a tragic boating accident has one sister pretending to be the other); and Carol reprises her "cleaning lady" role in a part-pantomime/part-musical climax with Kelly.
Considering the recent loss of Michael Jackson, Volume 17 is a definite keeper!
