Do we have any Carol Burnett fans out there? I watch it every night on MeTV. I love it when you can tell they're improvising along the way, and Harvey Corman especially will lose control and turn his face away from the camera in uncontrollable laughter. It's so genuine, and you know it's filmed in front of a live audience so there's no laugh track, it's all real. I also like that she takes questions from the audience in the beginning. I wish the program was an hour long instead of only half an hour. What a great troupe she had, and so far, Martha Ray is the only guest I really haven't liked (I don't like that loud, obnoxious type), but she has such funny, so diverse.

I loved that show as a kid. My favorite part of the show were the spoofs of old movies, Carol Burnett's reactions and facial expressions were hilarious. I also used to love their spoofs of 70s TV commercials.

One of the funniest tv shows ever. No one will ever top Carol at her best.
This sketch doesn't feature Burnett, but it may be one of the most hilarious things ever aired:

I used to BUT lately all that bickering when they do the Momma skits annoys me enough that I skip it.
I liked the songs on the old show but I supposed copyrights etc make them not show them. It's all just skits now.
I saw her on Broadway in Once Upon a Mattress and went to tapings/filmings of the Gary Moore Show. when she was being "discovered" so am a long time fan.

Great show. I believe the complete series with the full hour long episodes are now available for streaming in a couple of places including shoutfactorytv.
