The Carol Burnett Show: The Lost Episodes - Classic Carol (1966 - 1972/Time Life/Star Vista 6-DVD set)

Picture: C Sound: B Extras: A Episodes: B+

Welcome (back) to The Carol Burnett Show, a popular variety show from the late '60s to '70s'. Time Life has 'found' the Lost Episodes of the Show from cold storage and now brings to you a blast from the past. Enjoy 14 episodes now on DVD as they originally aired on TV that made The Carol Burnett Episode what it was today.

The series was a popular variety show from the '70s, it was like a comedy improv mixed with various short skits, music, dance and guest actors. Burnett was, is and remains a rare female hostess who introduced various new aspiring talents. On The Carol Burnett Show, you get a chance to see what actors were young and in their glory days.

The series was before my time and I was born after it had already ended, but after watching it I could see how it influenced the TV shows in the '80s, comedies and sitcoms, especially its spin-off show Mama's Family (reviewed elsewhere on this site). Extras include a booklet, spoofs, theatres, a Conversation with Carol Burnett, interviews and bonus shows from The Garry Moore Show.

The 1.33 X 1 image is the same as the previous sets, but the flaws bothered me more than my fellow writer, but the lossy Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono was much cleaner and clearer for its age than even I expected. For more Carol, try these links...
