THE LONG LOST EPISODES FROM THE FIRST FIVE SEASONS OF THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW — NOT SEEN FOR OVER 40 YEARS – ARE AVAILABLE FOR GIFT GIVING IN MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS!
Every legend has a beginning. And this past September, Time Life releases the very first steps of a TV icon with THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW: THE LOST EPISODES. Featuring original broadcast episodes from Seasons 1-5 (1967-1972) not seen since their original airing more than forty years ago and hand-picked by Carol herself, Time Life has a configuration for every fan – whether a die-hard, Tarzan-yelling, ear-tugger or a newbie, discovering the incredible talents of Burnett for the very first time.
I love Carol Burnett, her talent knew no limits. We sometimes watch old videos of her show on youtube, so when I was offered this set, I jumped on it!
Do you remember Vicki Lawrence? Her sketch that was so good it became a show all on its own: Mama’s Family! I watched that as well.
Tim Conway used to make us laugh as well. And sometimes he used to make the cast laugh. Those are my favorite moments, when the sketches become so funny, the cast cannot contain themselves!
Harvey Korman was also hysterical, he may possibly be one of the earliest drag performers, his character, Mama, was hysterical.
And Lyle Waggoner. Beefcake and a straight man, perfect!
This is a must own collection, hours of laughs for the whole family, for every age!
Aside from the 6-disc retail set ($59.95srp), which features 16 magical episodes — true treasures from the vault – and nearly 5 hours of bonus programming including a backstage tour of CBS Studio 33, 13 exclusive new interviews with Alan Alda, Julie Andrews, Bill Hader, Queen Latifah, Don Rickles and others, bonus sketches and never-before-seen bloopers & outtakes, Time Life has also released two exclusive configurations. THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION, priced at $200, includes 22 DVDs, over 20 hours of specially-created bonus programming, a collectible guest book and more. And, THE VIP EDITION (priced at $400), will feature all that, plus a hand-signed, personalized greeting on the cover of the guest book from Carol. Each VIP EDITION will be numbered and arrive with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Disclosure: I received this set as a courtesy. All opinions are 100% honest and my own.
I remember this show fondly and continue to be a fan of Carol Burnett. She and her cast are so talented.
