It was brief, of course, but we did joke around a little (how many people can say they’ve made Carol Burnett laugh), and I asked about her sharing a workspace with Red Skelton (as I recently mentioned in the Judy thread), because I don’t think it’s an aspect of her time on the show that usually gets mentioned. She’s extremely kind and approachable, and not in a phony way. There’s a reason she can still sell out a 2,500 seat theater at big prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something to tell the grandkids! Good question re: Red Skelton! There are so many topics she tends not to be asked about or bring up. Personally, I'd love to know about her snubbing the later years of Mama's Family or suing Family Guy, but I'd never have the guts to ask THOSE questions. Kudos for sticking to the positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryCarter Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Fathom Events will be screening three Carol Burnett Show episodes on April 22! I hope these are the full shows. It’s not clear. 'The Carol Burnett Show: Laugh All Night' to Premiere in Movie Theaters Nationwide - April 22 Only Experience Three Fan-Favorite Episodes and an Exclusive Premiere of a New Retrospective on "The Carol Burnett Show" in Movie Theaters for the First Time Ever DENVER, March 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Carol Burnett and Fathom Events will celebrate the comedic legend's 87th birthday with a fan experience and celebration of "The Carol Burnett Show," one of the most acclaimed and influential TV series of all-time, and the winner of 25 Emmy® Awards. Coming to movie theaters nationwide for one night only on April 22, the event, "THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW: LAUGH ALL NIGHT," will feature the premiere screening of a brand new behind-the-scenes retrospective, in addition to three classic episodes personally selected by Carol Burnett for this special one-night event.

"'The Carol Burnett Show' was a passion project of mine and one of the first of its kind to be hosted by a woman," Carol Burnett said. "I couldn't be prouder of what we created during this time and I'm excited to have the opportunity to showcase some of my favorite episodes with both new and old audiences across the country." Kicking off with an introduction by Carol Burnettherself, the three fan-favorite episodes will feature classic sketches, such as "The Dentist," "The Family: The Attic," featuring Betty White, and "Went with the Wind," which are sure to have fans laughing in their seats. Attendees will also receive a commemorative and exclusive limited-edition poster (while supplies last).

Betty is eternal and pulling in a family sketch for us Mama's Family fans. So I'm pretty sure that we then are getting no Lucy in those 3. Anyone know the special guests on the 3 episodes picked?

RodMcK1 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 The edited versions of the "lost" episodes of "TCBS" (playing on MeTV) as well as the previously syndicated "Carol Burnett and Friends" shows are on Amazon now. I've watched many "Family" sketches, skipping much other material as it does not hold up nearly as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickie Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 The Carol Burnett Show starts tonight on Folk TV. It is scheduled to air Monday thru Friday at 8pm and 9pm. I believe they are starting at the beginning and hopefully its the one hour show. I asked them on their FB page if this is the one hour show or not but they haven't replied as of yet. The fact that they are showing it on their schedule as 8pm and 9pm leads me to believe that it is two episodes they are airing, or possibly the same episode twice. I will find out tonight.

Luvsbway Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 I discovered last night that Amazon Prime has 9 seasons of the Carol Burnett Show streaming. Some are shortened versions. I've seen the first 2 of Lucy's appearances in the Lost episodes pack that was streaming previously. The 2 new to me shows included: The Rock Sisters and Some Like It Hotsy Totsey. The sketches are Lucy and Carol as flight attendants, and a takeoff on Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice. I saw a sketch once with Lucy as a bad stage mom opposite Vicki but that sketch wasn't in any of these 4 episodes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodMcK1 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Fetv (channel 323 on direct tv) is airing hour long version of TCBS tonight. I don’t know if this will be a regular thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie2 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Shout! Factory TV (which I believe is free with ads) is making every episode of The Carol Burnett Show available starting on June 1st, with a marathon of episodes streaming live on May 30th and 31st. I haven't read whether or not these will be complete episodes with music and everything. Shout! has been one of those great home video saviors over the years when it comes to putting out more obscure movies and shows, not to mention picking up larger companies' slack when it comes to finishing full series releases- notably their loving sets for Norman Lear's major shows and Bob Newhart's two biggest hits. Considering the heftiness of TCBS, streaming might be the best option to get the complete series out there. I don't think the casual fan would be motivated to buy all eleven seasons individually, and a whole box set would be pretty pricey. Perhaps this streaming venture is testing the waters for a complete physical release? If so, I'd be curious if it would include the copious bonus features that have been produced by TIME/Life.

I don’t know if this will be a regular thing. I watched a couple of those episodes (hour long) a few nights ago and was greatly disappointed! They didn't seem to be the true, original episodes with the guest cast introduced at the top of the show: for instance, one of them was supposed to feature Barbara Eden and a male comic star whom I now can't recall, not that it mattered: they were seen briefly at the top of the show, never appeared in any of the rest of the sketches, another female guest star (not Barbara) appeared in one of the sketches and then Babs and the male guest appeared again for the farewell/final bows segment and that was it! For whatever reason, they filled the hour with material from another episode(s) that didn't even feature the supposed guest stars AND there was no big production number for a finale, it was an hour of sketches.... I was truly disappointed and if this is how Shout! is going to present them, I doubt I'll even bother! I want to see them again as they were originally broadcast! Otherwise... what's the point??

RodMcK1 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 As “The Best of The Carol Burnett Show: Season 2,” you can see Lucy’s 1970 appearance on Amazon. She’s in the cold open musical number, a sketch in which she and Carol are stage mothers competing to get their daughters an audition, and a parody of “Some Like it Hot.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
