Great Episodes, but just re-issues of the old DVD sets.
***** = the episodes
*** = the DVDs
Don't get me wrong, these are GREAT EPISODES, but for those of us who bought the 31 disc set from Columbia House 10 years ago in 2002, we have them all.
It is disappointing that Carol Burnette & Time Life sprinkled some 10 new episodes in another 22-disc mega-set (NOT THIS 6 DVD SET) forcing us to re-buy most of what we already have, just to get 10 new episodes. And I repeat, those 10 new episodes are NOT on this shorter 7 DVD set (which includes the 6 DVD set listed elsewhere)! You have to get the 22 Disc set. I would quickly buy this set if it had the 10 new episodes.
To top off the insult, if you buy the new 22-disc set to get the 10 new episodes not previously available, you still have to look for the old 31 disc set from 2002 because 22 episodes from that set have been left off of the new 22-disc set.
If I sound cranky it is because I do not want to buy 15 discs of shows that I already have just to get 4...
Briefly...
This is ONE disc bigger than the The Carol Burnett Show: Carol's Favorites (Collectors Edition) [$38 at THIS writing].
Put THIS ONE in your shopping basket and wait till it is closer to the above's price. -- I got MINE for $44. --
Carol's show, which, coincidentally, matches up with the network it was on:
Carol......Burnett.....Show :
Columbia Broadcast System
C...........B............S.....

Briefly, as promised, here's WHO you'll see:
Roddy McDowell.......................................................Disc 1&2......................................#1007 and #722
Dinah Shore............................................................Disc 1 [50 WAYS TO LEAVE A LOVER]#1002
Steve Martin...........................................................Disc...
This Time Together... AGAIN!
This has been one of the best video purchases I made in the past year. Sometimes when we see an old program for the first time in years, we think that it didn't seem quite as good as we remembered. With "The Carol Burnett Show" and this 7-DVD set, the episodes seem even better than I remembered!
What a privilege it has been to laugh along with so many of the funny moments this set has to offer. I hope to see "Went With the Wind" and the first skit done by "The Family" many times in the future. The guest stars are wonderful, and it is a terrific opportunity to watch extremely funny programs without the distraction of foul language. Great humor really can be clean, and I'm glad that I'll be able to spend more time with Carol and company.
