Movie Reviews of The Carol Burnett Show - Show Stoppers
Movie Review: Burnett and the gang host hillarious reunion
Summary: 5 Stars
There is little that Burnett and company can do wrong. In fact, there is little in show business that they can't do and do quite well as they proved week in and week out for eleven seasons. I grew up in the seventies admiring their versatility as perfomers. We simply don't see this brand of performers anymore as TV does not permit free-wheeling any longer. Today, it a set-up to a joke, punch line - laugh track. Honestly, I have not heard audience reactions this robust in twenty years, but its little wonder. Although this show and DVD is about the mishaps, goofs and break-ups that happen on all shows, Burnett casts a spell over her audiences as she makes us feel that even someone ordinary can be great. So, whenever her, Tim, Harvey and Vicki get together its as if time has stood still. This and their previous reunion show are classics. And they are spontaneous and lots of fun - just like Saturday nights at 10 PM once again!
Summary of The Carol Burnett Show - Show Stoppers
Enjoy all of your favorite moments from The Carol Burnett Show!If you don't get at least a half-dozen belly laughs from this compilation of outtakes from The Carol Burnett Show, you'd better check your pulse. Originally broadcast on CBS in 2001, this affectionate retrospective reunites the peerless cast of Burnett's variety show--Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, Tim Conway, and Harvey Korman--to answer audience questions and reminisce. The cast recalls the many times they lost composure on camera, halting sketches due to all varieties of faux pas, from faulty props (or urinating horses) to mutual crack-ups. Culled from the show's mid-1970s heyday, the clips are infectiously hilarious, and the cast never missed an opportunity to inject a little raunchiness (later deleted) into their otherwise wholesome entertainment. Conway's the real conspirator here, frequently turning Korman into a helpless heap of giggles, and costume designer Bob Mackie (pulled from the audience) is given fair tribute for his outlandish creativity. TV like this doesn't exist any more, and Show Stoppers will make you wonder why. --Jeff Shannon
