Review of The Carol Burnett Show

Thanks, Peacock, for showing free (a few ads-a 5th of the length of network television commercial breaks) full seasons of The Carol Burnett show. I know Amazon Prime has TCBS as well but not everyone wants to pay for (another) streaming service-if they have a service at all, it's probably Netflix. So far they've only got the first three 1967-69 seasons, and hopefully they'll have the rest of the series through 1978 soon. That, apart from its genuine humor & cleverness & genuinely funny dialogue, is what adds to the enjoyment of watching this- the later 1960's & 70's aura TCBS has. It's so cool, at least to people like myself, who just missed not being alive or too young to appreciate the feel of that time (which you don't realize at the time, obviously). It's a lot less wacky than I remembered, which is a good thing. A little more risqué that I remembered and that's also a good thing. Watching this show (which are mostly aired in the order and length they were originally) and grouped by season/years is much more enjoyable than those "Best of Carol"-esque DVD compilations they were hawking 10+ years ago. And streaming so far on this new service has been great, except for the fact that the rest of the show's 8 additional seasons besides these are not yet here. If you love early 70's, everyday hairstyles & clothes, but some of its now-garish looking outfits are still groovy af. And again, it contains many less weaknesses in the sketches comprised mostly of funny dialogue reflective of what was going on in the world vs. the physical. Some of the "was that a double entendre?" humor sometimes leads to bemused eye raising, like "wow, they went *there* in 1970? Awesome."
