I am a long-time Carol Burnett fan. Her show has made me laugh so hard I cried. Unfortunately, this collection was just little tid-bits of her shows -- no full skits. I was hoping for more that what was on this one.

As a huge fan of the Carol Burnett show and if you are too, this DVD will have you laughing. The DVD has some of the best funny bits from her shows.

I wish I had paid attention to the numerous reviews that stated that this was not a good buy... I was very disappointed to get a DVD that showed a couple of minutes of a scene. It included language that was, of course, censored on the live broadcast. And the funniest scenes (e.g., Tim as "The Dentist") were not even included. Bottom line, if I can't have entire episodes, I'll just live on my good memories of the show... and the 2 or 3 episodes I recorded on videocassette.
I wonder if they're waiting for our generation to die off so that it can be presented to kids who never saw it before. WE are the ones who would really appreciate it.

The Carol Burnett Show is a classic variety skit show and it's very funny. Now I remember waching this reunion show on television a few years ago and while I wish they had shown more skits and had less talking about them it was interesting to hear Carol, Vicky, Tim and Harvey talking about how much they loved doing the skits and all of the fun they had and you could really tell how much they all liked and respected each other so I actually enjoyed watching their Show Stoppers Special but what would really be wonderful is if they put the Carol Burnett show on DVD in complete seasons. They show this variety skit show on TV on a couple of different TV stations including TVland but they only show 30 minutes and that is just not enough! A complaint I have about this special is that they didn't include Lyle Waggoner, He was just as funny as Carol, Vicky, Tim and Harvey and should have been included!

Luckily, I rented this for a dollar before deciding if it was a worthwhile buy. So who do I speak to to get my dollar back?
The Bob Mackie tribute went on for what seemed hours. You'd think they'd have included this tribute as an bonus, except this DVD has no extras. None. You get 42 minutes of self-congratulatory chit chat, with four of the original five in the cast and a few unfunny clips of Tim trying to crack Harvey up (and succeeding) of Harvey succeeding in cracking Tim up, of Vicky and Carol trying to crack everybody else up. (And what was up with Vicky Lawrence? She looked so uncomfortable in the DVD. Maybe she knew what a crap show they were going to turn out.)
I didn't think it was funny when the cast tried to make each other laugh back when the show was originally aired. Where did they get the idea they were supposed to make each other laugh? They were supposed to make the audience laugh.
As far as the show goes, when the cast was being professional, it was hilarious stuff. I loved the show and wish we got TVLand so we could see it. To put out a whole DVD of the show's worst moments is a real disappointment to the "craft" and to the viewer.
