I grew up watching The Carol Burnett Show. Though the show ended airing just before I was born, re-runs were plentiful on TV in the evenings. My parents and grandparents adored the show. As I grew older, I began to appreciate more of the humor that was more understated. Now? I absolutely love to watch it. That’s why I jumped at the chance to review The Carol Burnett Show: Carol’s Lost Christmas DVD, brought to retail shelves from Time Life.
Amazon.com and at other select retailers (for a specialty price), this DVD is bound to be the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone who used to or who grew up watching the show. Better yet, go ahead and purchase it now so that you can watch and enjoy it several times throughout the holiday season!
Here is an in-depth blurb with the specifics on The Carol Burnett Show: Carol’s Lost Christmas
From 1967 to 1978, The Carol Burnett Show was the benchmark for prime-time variety programs, bringing together the best in sketch comedy, song and dance. Carol and her cast members Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner, and later, Tim Conway and Dick Van Dyke, entertained millions of viewers with a spontaneity and go-for-broke attitude sorely lacking elsewhere. The annual Christmas shows soon became a popular event in Burnett’s regular season schedule. And now, for the first time ever, Burnett has opened the CBS archives to release three Christmas shows from the first four seasons of her Emmy Award®-winning program in THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW: CAROL’S LOST CHRISTMAS.
Across three hilarious episodes not seen in more than 40 years, home audiences will receive the gift of non-stop laughter and entertainment: Think Santa knows who’s been naughty or nice? Jonathan Winters as St. Nick has other ideas, along with a strange collection of dolls. The old lovebirds Bert and Molly (Harvey and Carol) exchange a few choice words while they slowly rock themselves into the New Year. Carol and Vicki join the Bob Mitchell Singing Boys for a touching performance of “Do You Know How Christmas Trees are Grown?” And pitchmen Garry Moore and Durward Kirby reach out and touch the pocketbooks of parents with an array or ridiculous toys for kids. Also not to be missed are:
Dancing Santas, Christmas carols, yuletide poetry and more – including a visit to a boozing Kris Kringle at the North Pole in Carol’s very first Christmas show
Classic sketches “The Old Folks,” “Carol and Sis,” “V.I.P.,” and “The Charwoman”
Hilarious vintage “Mrs. Peter Piper” courtroom sketch with Garry Moore and Durward Kirby, written by Neil Simon and first performed on “The Garry Moore Show”
The Early, Early Show movie parody “Goldman’s Boy”
Steve Lawrence singing “Let There Be Peace on Earth” and “One Day,” 16-year-old Julie Budd singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and more.
