While there's no truth to the rumor that "CBS" ever stood for "The Carol Burnett Show", for eleven seasons and 278 episodes, this star-studded extravaganza of sketch comedy, song and dance became entertainment central for the network and TV viewers. Taped before a live audience at Hollywood's CBS Television City Studio 33, "The Carol Burnett Show" featured clever, dazzling production numbers in an intimate environment, thanks to strategic camera placement that brought the actors and audience closer together. Burnett operated in a relaxed theater setting that allowed her to take questions, cut loose with her famous Tarzan yell, and join second bananas Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, Tim Conway, and Lyle Waggoner to have a laugh or sing a song. The Emmy(R) Award-winning program, which ran from 1967 to 1978 and ranks high on "Best Shows of All Time" lists, made household names out of the whole bunch. Carol and company ruled the airwaves without taking themselves or show biz too seriously. This exclusive DVD features three UNCUT episodes, as they originally aired on television, and showcases some of the most acclaimed and beloved moments from "The Carol Burnett Show" including: "The Family" with Eunice, Mama and Ed, "The Oldest Man", and "TV Commercials". Guest stars include Steve Lawrence, Lily Tomlin, and The Pointer Sisters. Plus the DVD includes over an hour of exclusive bonus features. "This Time Together": Cast Reunion with Carol, Vicki Lawrence, Tim Conway and Lyle Waggoner, Interviews with Tim Conway and Steve Lawrence.
