Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

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!

lbliss314 The jewel in the crown on CBS's Saturday night comedies. In one night you saw All in the Family, MASH, Mary Tyler Moore, bob Newhart, and Carol Burnett. There was never that much great comedy on one evening, before or after. Must-see TV years before NBC. Me and my family stayed glued to the set from 8 to 11. A great cast and consistently funny; I found out later that several Mad magazine writers were on the staff. I did get tired of Harvey Korman breaking up very week... but opposite Tim Conway, who could resist? I remember a sketch where Harvey was in a dentist chair; Tim was the dentist. All was going well... until Tim injected the Novocaine into himself and not his patient. Various parts of his body went numb. I remember him slapping his dangling right hand with his left--the numb hand swung back and forth like a half-filled water balloon. Then the left half of his face went slack. Then the right. The his right leg gave out and he had to sit on the chair with Harvey. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard, and poor Harvey almost slid out of his chair with laughter. A class act, all the way. It's a shame Harvey Korman never went on to comedy stardom, when marginally talented folks like Adam Sandler became millionaires.

CHPK Carol and Joe Hamilton made a family feeling for the whole cast and Crew.She wanted everyones insight and her ego was not driving that show it was love and chemistry.she surrounded herself with the best.she could stand on the side and let others shine-that is rare in todays business of look at me-She knew she couldn't carry the show she needed the support of others to make the whole show great.She looked about what it meant to have a great second banana because she was one on Garry Moore.She couldn't have picked a better one-Harvey Korman who cut his teeth as a second banana on The danny Kaye Show was the best choice.Vicki lawrence because one of the finest comediennes in around.The only negative I have is that I didn't like when Tim Conway broke up H.Korman.it ruined many of sketches.To be honest my Dads best work was when he wasn't in a sketch alone or with Tim Conway-is best work was in Blazzing Saddles because for that moment he proved he didn't need Tim Conway to be funny-just my opinion
