The Carol Burnett Show was part of my youth. We used to watch it when it was still on the air and I remember being confused by the black and silver ring set behind her during her opening monologue. I still sometimes dig up YouTube videos. Especially ones where Tim Conway gets Harvey Korman laughing out of character.

They didn't show it where we lived, but my mom and I discovered it on syndication in the early 80's.

That's the first time I've ever heard her do a type of working class accent! Good lord, she had some gams. (She may *still* have great gams but the Dowager Countess doesn't get dressed in a microskirt...)

Betsy, when you get the chance, you must watch this. For me, it's the pinnacle of the Carol Burnett Show. http://www.youtube.com/watch...

I love the elephant story! I forgot that was a Mama's Family one. Thanks for the reminder. I guess the skits I didn't like obliterated any good feelings I had for the others.
