The Carol Burnett Show (1967–1978)
7/10
A Very Good Variety Show & Okay TV
4 July 2015
This is a show that I remember as a 10, but when reviewed 30 years later is a 7 with occasional eights. If you erase the nostalgia and purely focus on the writing it is a 6, but the brilliance of the performers raises it to a 7 and sometimes an 8 - Tim Conway and Carol are always at a nine level. I watched it every Saturday, but it was the best of what was on and not an 8.8 by itself. If you are rating by memory and not by today, get copies of back programs and see if your opinions hold, If you've never seen it, it is definitely worth watching to see some extraordinary characters, but it is not an 8.8. Apparently the line police needs more. How about...Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth;
