'The Carol Burnett Show' debuted in 1967. Harvey Korman would be there from the beginning. He would spend ten years being the number two to the number one TV performer of that time. Korman would sing and dance and entertain us every week. The man would prance and ad-lib on stage to the roar of the audience as well as the TV audience. This single DVD will entertain you with three out of four of the rarest episodes. In other words they haven't been seen in over 40 years.
Korman will entertain us as a Hugh Hefner type to indulge with his ego. One of the better skits is Korman playing a conga player to Burnett's Carmen Miranda character it will leave you in stitches. Another skit has Korman, Burnett, and Vicki Lawrence all dressed up in sequined dresses and heels and they're playing The Andrew Sisters. Yes, that's right Harvey Korman in dress and heels and it is comedy at its best.
You really must understand Harvey Korman is pure genius and it shows. It showed when he won four Emmys and four Golden Globes for his work on 'The Carol Burnett Show'. Korman was one of the best and you will enjoy this DVD.
You will see Korman play the President and he will entertain us in a 'Fireside Chat'. Along with the Burnett gang you'll also have guest appearances with Sid Caesar, Diahann Carroll, Ella Fitzgerald, Bernadette Peters and Nancy Wilson.
TimeLife brings this wonderful DVD to us on August 1st, 2017. The quality of the DVD is excellent and the sights and sounds are fantastic. This is pure television history at its best and will make a wonderful addition to that personal library. Harvey Korman entertained us for a decade on 'The Carol Burnett Show' and for many of us we never missed a show. So don't waste any time and pick this one up and enjoy watching some of the greatest entertainment of television history. Enjoy
