HILLARIOUS Enjoy :-)

ENJOY

I think I've mentioned before that The Carol Burnett Show was my mom's absolute favorite thing on TV. (Dad's was Dean Martin) That was funny, had me literally LOL several times, but I still think the Gone With the Wind parody was the best skit they ever did. When Burnett came down the staircase with the dress made from curtains - and the curtain rod across her shoulders - my mother laughed so hard she was in tears and then she suddenly jumped up and ran to the bathroom...just in time, she told me many years later when we were talking about that.

It was amazing how they discovered Vicki Lawrence, someone who looked as though she could easily have been Burnett's young sister. She was such a beauty, nearly as good at comedy as was CB.

It's too bad variety shows went the way of the dinosaurs, there were some good ones with great guests and hilarious comedy. The last time I tuned into Saturday Night Live, I don't think a single gag made me even smile, much less guffaw and I didn't think much of the musical guests, either.

Times are a changing :-(
