Shemp Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 The 22-DVD "THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW: The Ultimate Collection" ships the week of July 30. Per Time-Life's press release of June 4, Lucille Ball will appear in some bonus content. Press release excerpt, from TVShowsonDVD.com... Rare sketches from the first five seasons of The Carol Burnett Show, not seen anywhere in over 40 years. Included are guest appearances by Lucille Ball, Jerry Lewis, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, plus one of the most beloved sketches in the history of the show: "The Dentist," with Harvey Korman and Tim Conway. Reportedly, none of the smaller, general retail sets due in September will contain the above bonus footage. And now, Amazon is taking pre-orders for "Carol Burnett Prime Time Specials Collection", showing a release date of August 28. Other online sellers, including BestBuy, are also showing this. From Amazon's product description... The Carol Burnett Prime Time Specials Collection, not seen since their original air dates include Calamity Jane, Carol and Company (an evening with Carol Burnett), Carol Plus Two with Lucille Ball and Carol and Julie at Carnegie Hall. These specials were nominated for multiple awards including a Prime Time Emmy win for An evening with Carol Burnett Plus an Emmy and Golden Globe win for Carol Burnett's famous pairing with Julie Andrews in Carol and Julie at Carnegie Hall! These timeless TV treasures are brought to you completely re-mixed and remastered by Legendary Entertainment Alliance directly from the archives of Legendary variety show producer, Bob Banner. I believe the specials collection is separate from the 22-DVD set. Legendary Entertainment is the specials' distributor, while July's mega-set is from Time-Life.

LucyImHome Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 The Ultimate Set from Time Life is to include 3 episodes from the old Garry Moore Show. I'm anxious to see Marion Lorne (Aunt Clara on Bewitched), who also co-starred on the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
