The Carol Burnett Show's Lost Episodes Are Finally Available On DVD
In Depth
If you grew up loving the sketches on Carol Burnett’s variety show, Time Life has some good news for you: 45 of the show’s best episodes are finally on DVD. Previously only available as truncated collections you had to order via infomercial, this new set consists of over 20 DVDs of ear-tugging hilarity with two discs of bonus features (that, honestly, you and I will never watch).
The most exciting thing about this release (unfortunately, it’s not the price) is the fact that Burnett picked the episodes that would be featured herself. While it would be great to get a complete run of the show so you’d never run out of things to be entertained by while high, the episodes highlighted in this collection showcase the talents of Lucille Ball, Phyllis Diller, and Chita Rivera, among many others.
