Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

hfan77 The Carol Burnett Show (whose initials are the same as the network it aired on) was a very funny variety show that was so successful thanks to Carol Burnett and her supporting cast of Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman and Lyle Waggoner. When Tim Conway became a regular, the show became more hilarious. Guest stars also were a part of the festivities each week, including Jim Nabors, who was the show's first guest, and continued in the same role at the start of each season. Of all the sketches that aired, my all-time favorite was "Went With the Wind." I saw it on a retrospective and it was still extremely funny, especially the outfits used. What also made the show's successful was the way Carol interacted with the studio audience, treating them as a participant by taking questions in the opening segment. She also showed her versatility in playing different roles, including the washerwoman who closed down the show at season's end. If you haven't bought the DVD'S or seen the reruns under the title "Carol Burnett and Friends", it's highly recommended to see Carol and company in action as well as to see the sketches that spawned the sitcom "Mama's Family." You'll be glad you had that time together.

sallydes I agree. Carol Burnett was one of a kind. I personally like her the best of all the comedians I have ever seen. I don't understand why they keep replaying "I love Lucy", and not "The Carol Burnett Show". There's no contest Carol is best hands down! There was one episode with Tim Conway I really liked. He was at a pulpit, and after each sentence he said, "cause it don't matter". I laughed so hard. I wish I could see it again. The only other comedian (impressionist) that made me laugh so hard,is the up and coming, Gordy Brown, but I still love Carol. I don't however like the show stopper DVD's, because they don't show the whole skits. Neither does the Carol Burnett reunion tape. I hope they bring the shows out on DVD, so I can purchase them. I really want to see the original shows before "Carol Burnett & Friends". The one's with just Carol, Vickie, Harvey, and Lyle. When Tim joined I think the show lost something, as he wouldn't stick to his lines, and it became very unprofessional with them cracking up, and messing up their lines, but I still want to see them again, especially the one with Tim at the pulpit. He was alone, so he played it straight!

elijahbailey The Carol Burnett Show was the last great stand of the variety show format and what a stand it was! One of the best comedy talent line-ups ever to grace a sound stage, enhanced by wardrobe genius Bob Mackie's fabulous costuming, gave the country a weekly joy ride.One of the funniest moments in the history of American television came during the show's send up of Margaret Mitchell's epic Civil War story retitled "Went With The Wind." The moment that "Miss Starlett" (Burnett in the Vivien Leigh role) appears at the top of the staircase in the green velvet dress made from curtains, complete with rods, ranks as one of television's most exuberantly hilarious sight gags. And one of the longest sustained laughs. This sketch alone fully justifies the Carol Burnett Show being remembered as one of the most entertaining comedy programs ever. And there were so MANY other skits as well!

TxMike Carol Burnett is a talented singer and comic actress, and I don't doubt that she could have had a successful one-woman TV show. But she didn't try. Her variety show was wildly successful because of her supporting cast. Before Saturday Night Live ever existed, Carol and her regulars were putting on hilarious short skits.Tim Conway was arguably the most inventive and funniest guy on TV back then, and maybe even in the history of TV. He had this way of crawling into the character he was playing and make it completely off beat. Add to that all the ad libbing he did, and in many episodes you could see the others on stage with him barely restraining their laughter. Harvey Korman was also a jewel in the crown of her show. He was not as inventive as Conway, but was mostly effective as an ensemble player, and often the butt of Conway's humor.Vicki Lawrence was an interesting cast member. I remember when she was added. Carol was looking for a 'look alike' to play her sister, and Vicki was chosen from among a group being considered. She was not new to show business and even has a hit record on her own. She joined the troupe and became a TV success eventually with her own show.The list of funny and talented personalities that joined Carol on her show at various times is almost endless, but some of my favorites were Ken Berry, Joel Grey, Dick Van Dyke, Lyle Waggoner, Nanette Fabray, and Jim Nabors, trained operatic singer who became famous as Gomer Pyle.
