Your First Volume Of
The Carol Burnett Show Dvds
From Columbia House Will Be:
Two Of The Best Episodes!
Episode #1 (Original Airdate: November 13, 1976)
Among the many sketch specialties honed to a zany art on The Carol Burnett Show (CBS, 1967-78) was the movie parody, but, frankly, my dear, none of the celebrated company's cinematic satires achieved greater notoriety than "Went With the Wind." This breezy lampoon of Gone With the Wind includes one of the biggest and most memorable laughs in television history. Remember Carol's scheming Starlet telling Harvey Korman's Rat Butler where she got that stunning new curtain-rod dress? Other highlights: Carol introduces Anthony Hopkins, who's sitting in the audience; Tim Conway plays his Oldest Man character as a butcher; and guest star Dinah Shore takes part in the "Basin Street" New Orleans finale. As Harvey observes in one of the special interview segments taped for this Collector's Edition, "We did a Broadway musical revue every week."
Episode #2 (Original Airdate: March 16, 1974)
This seventh-season show marks the first "Family" sketch, with Carol as Eunice, Harvey as Ed and Vicki Lawrence as the ever-critical Mama, none of whom appreciate the accomplishments of Eunice's brother, Nobel Prize-winning writer Philip (guest star Roddy McDowall). Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five appear in two numbers, including the "This Old Man" finale, which, as Carol relates, got an extra jolt from a Los Angeles earthquake.
Each volume contains two one-hour episodes, not seen in their entirety since the original broadcast. Plus, there’s additional footage filmed exclusively for Columbia House featuring Carol, Tim and Harvey reminiscing about the show.
