The packaging advertising is deceptive. When you get the DVD package it states A CAROL BURNETT CHRISTMAS, and in tiny lettering above The Garry Moore Show Presents. To be totally honest that should have been made clear from the beginning when advertising this on Amazon. And rather than a 1970's color photo of Carol, a late 50's, early 60's photo should have been used. Now as for content, the episodes are actually pretty entertaining IF you like that era of TV variety shows. "The Garry Moore Show" helped launch Carol Burnett and these Christmas episodes (particularly the third one featuring Julie Andrews) are good. Along with Carol as an ensemble member of Garry ('I've Got a Secret')Moore's cast you have Durwood Kirby and Marion ('Aunt Clara' from Bewitched) Lorne as well as the Garry Moore Show singers and dancers. If you are looking for wall to wall Carol Burnett you won't find her here. She is featured, to be sure, thru-out but there is a lot of content not involving Carol Burnett. However, if you enjoy long-a-go Christmas variety shows/specials and enjoy the work of some of the performers included on this DVD, as I do, then you might enjoy this.

Take a good look at the pictured item. It appears to be episodes from the Carol Burnett Show. It's pretty deceiving. It states "Special Collectors Edition", and also states "4 Hilarious Episodes Featuring Carol Burnett. It comes across as though you are getting 4 Christmas episodes from her weekly variety show. When you receive the DVD, the "Special Collectors Edition"notation isn't there. In it's place it states "The Garry Moore Show Presents"...A Carol Burnett Christmas. These are black and white skits from the Garry Moore Show, which is where Carol started her career.
Nothing against Carol or her talent (or I wouldn't have ordered it to begin with) but the way this is marketed is very misleading and in my opinion, unethical. And the "4 Hilarious Episodes on the item pictured, is not what is stated on the actual item. It says, "3 Hilarious Classic Chrismas Episodes starring Carol Burnett..and on the bottom..."Includes a rare lost episode from the first season of Candid Camera". I'm sending mine back. Shame on whoever used this image for marketing.
If you are a fan of Carol Burnett, you may want to purchase it....but at least now you know what you are buying. In my opinion, this is way overpriced for what you get. It should be in the $ bin at Walmart.

I am returning this DVD because I was deceived into buying it, both by Amazon and the producer of the DVD. The picture of the DVD shows a color version of Carol Burnett in a Santa hat beneath the banner, "A Carol Burnett Christmas." All well and good and enticing. But when I opened the package there is small print above the banner reading, "The Garry Moore Show presents"...
The clips, good though they are, are in black-and-white, grainy, and replete with edited out visuals and vocals.
True, Carol does appear, but this is NOT a Carol Burnett Christmas - she appears as she did (remarkably) on the Garry Moore Show.
Shame on Amazon for deceiving loyal customers in this way.
BEWARE!
If you're a die-hard Carol fan, then go ahead and make this purchase...but if you're a die-hard fan of the fabulous Carol Burnett Show, run away.
Fast.
Disappointed by the deception.

Great present.
I bought this for a Christmas present and they loved it. Though I haven't watched it myself I was tempted to keep it for myself since Carol Burnett is so funny and so ageless.
