Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

One of the most endearing features of The Carol Burnett Show was the Q&A session with the audience that opened every show; it provided a charming forum for Burnett’s warm rapport with her fans, as well as a showcase for her improvisational skills. This 2004 TV special (which, like Burnett’s Showstoppers retrospective from 2001, posted huge ratings) puts the comedienne and her series co-stars--Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, and Lyle Waggoner--in front of an audience once again to reminisce and introduce some vintage Q&A clips. Burnett remains fast with a quip, and game enough to once again venture a stellar Tarzan yell, and she’s well-matched by her former castmates, who spin some terrific stories about smooching male and female audience members, wrangling with the legendary Mrs. Miller, and struggling to keep a straight face while one of them (usually Conway) stole the show. For fans of the series, this is an enjoyable highlight reel of its funniest unscripted moments. --Paul Gaita

1.0 out of 5 stars carol burnett bump up the lights December 2, 2006

By Mona Baldwin

Format:DVD

I cannot believe that Carol Burnett would put out anything like this. They sit on a stage and reminisce. Very few outtakes, or showing of best scenes. I recorded the 25th anniversery of CBShow on VHS some years ago, and I thought that was what I was going to get. This is may be a money maker, as so many of us like CB, but this is absolutely false advertising. I unfortunately opened it up and probably will not get my money back, but I warn you, this DVD and Carol Burnett Show stoppers is not worth the postage. I thought this was going to be great christmas presents, no way would I insult anybody by giving them these two.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Talk Not Enough Classic Carol January 25, 2006

By jax jordan

Format:DVD

This two pack set was a BIG disappointment. The old cast spent way too much of the 42 MINUTES!! talking and taking question from the current audience and doing boring musical numbers and not enough of the classic Carol Burnett Show. Both DVDs would have been an interesting Special Feature Bonus track on a complete season DVD of the show. I personally felt cheated and will be careful before buying anything else from CBS/Paramount Collection

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Episodes Per Disc??!!! December 16, 2005

By Ian Keeper

Format:DVD

I was watching the Tony Danza show this morning and one of his guests was Carol Burnett. Watching the old clips from her 70's show really made me want them on DVD so I signed onto Amazon.com to see if they were available. To my amazement, I found that there are only TWO EPISODES PER VOLUME and very costly!!

I hope they consider box sets with multiple episodes SOON..when this happens I will be the first in line to purchase them. But at TWO EPISODES PER VOLUME AT THOSE PRICES???!!! No way.

Still love you, Carol!
