3.0 out of 5 stars CAVEAT EMPTOR!, December 25, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: The Carol Burnett Show, Vols. 1-5 - Collector's Edition (DVD)

REVIEW UPDATE: All the complaints below are still valid; HOWEVER, the seller was contacted and offered a full refund for the returned disks. I upped the star rating from 1 to 3 for better than expected customer service. HOWEVER, they made the excuse that they are third party handlers and cannot be completely familiar with the product they ship. At least they stood behind the product and made the return as painless as a W@lmart return (almost.)

************************************************************************************************************

The set implies you might be getting a sequenced set. IN FACT you're getting a random selection of episodes that ARE NOT very good episodes and contain only 2 shows per DVD. That equates to $15 per show. Plus you get a lot of "blah blah blah" talk from the three main stars that just eats up space and time.

Additionally, the set received was suppose to be VOL 1-5, in fact VOL 3, 4, 6, 9, & 16. There was no way to discover I had not received an unsatisfactory order without breaking the seal and playing the DVD's.

The only way I can file a satisfactory feedback for this order is to return the order for a full refund which I am in the process of requesting.

I suggest EBAY!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars RESTORED and UNCUT with New Introductions by Carol & the Gang, November 17, 2007

By 

Rhonda Edelstein "Ronny" (Eastern U.S.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Carol Burnett Show, Vols. 1-5 - Collector's Edition (DVD)

Let Carol Burnett and friends (Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence & Tim Conway) introduce you to some of their favorite episodes and give some back-stage stories.

This wonderful box set features ten full uncut hour long (ie., 50 minutes due to no commercials)shows. All of the original opening & closings and mid show comedy spoofs are here as well! Carol takes questions from the audience the way we remember the original shows. The video has been restored and looks like it was taped yesterday.
