JohnnyBlaze Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I so desperately need a laugh today. I watched this. This beats any tv comedy I’ve seen in (at least) the last 20 years. Classic tv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I so desperately need a laugh today. I watched this. I am young enough that Saturday Night Live was past my bedtime (even on a Saturday) during that era, but I remember watching The Carol Burnett show, also during that same time period- must have been right at the end of that show’s run, about 1976-‘77...genius stuff. The cast she assembled and her writing were both just phenomenal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Conway was a real comedian, and so was she. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 My late mother loved Carol Burnett. She went to see her when she was in Once Upon A Mattress on Broadway in the early sixties i think. She would always watch her shows. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t matter though as everyone on that show was top notch 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just watching Dan Akroyd and Steve Martin doing their two "wild and crazy guys" skit from a 1978 snl. It's good to laugh. :) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 It's odd that some of the best moments of one of the most popular shows of the '70s -- and a show that still casts a long shadow over pop culture today -- were these moments when even the pros realized the hilarity of what was happening, but at the same time, Lorne Michaels of SNL hates it, hates it, when the actors break character and laugh during a skit. Clearly, his approach hasn't doomed SNL, but Burnett's approach hasn't hurt her legacy either! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
