great timing, good fun
will be missed
R.I.P.

I remember that episode; The Carol Burnett Show was my mom's fav. (pop's was Dean Martin) and I remember watching the Gone With the Wind parody and my mom having tears run down her cheeks b/c she was laughing so hard. When Burnett, playing Scarlet, came down the staircase in a dress made from curtains (as did the character in the book) my mom lost it when it was seen that Burnett was wearing curtains with the rod still stuck through them.   Mom jumped up and ran to the bathroom and I was a little too young to understand why, but many, many yrs. later she told me she had started to wet herself. (in her defense, it was just after she had a hysterectomy)

Makes me smile just thinking about it. I'd give up any future lottery win to have her back for just one more day, throw in half the life I have left to boot.

Funny Man.
RIP Tim.

Laughed so much I cried. Tim Conway was so great.

@MIT- You, I and millions more had many belly laughs from watching Conway and Korman.

My favorite show was Dean Martin with Carol Burnett second as well. Both comedy shows were great when comedy was clean. Gone With the Wind is my favorite movie and so i can understand and agree with your mother Mikeintexas. That had to be the best episode ever. I can imagine Carol and the writers sitting around when they came up with that idea.

GWTW was my mom's fav. movie, too. I remember when it was re-released in theaters in 1967 and she and her best friend went to see it. She was too young to have seen it on its original release and I'm not sure if it had been played again in theaters since then.   

I'll never forget my "other sister" whining about something once and exasperated, my mom turned to her and said "Frankly, my dear....I don't give a d*mn." I burst out laughing, annoying my sister - who had never read the book- who then went from looking all butthurt at what my mom had told her and being furious with me for laughing, all the while not understanding the reference.   My sister and I acted in several one-act plays together in school and she was a better actor than me, but she would have made a good Prissy in the adaptation.

I remember my pop always singing along with Dean at the end of the show "Everybody, loves somebody, sometime..." and doing a fair impersonation.

I don't have cable, but other than talent reality shows, I guess the variety show format is pretty much dead now, right? At least in prime time?

Many Thanks to all contributors to Tim's memory.
