They run old shows and 'best ofs' on a local subchannel here. Virtually endless streams of great writings and terrific performances. Some of the best TV ever.

She was on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Friday - funny as ever and she can still do the Tarzan yell at the age of 84!

+1, was a wonderful part of my childhood.

Saturday nights during my childhood was always bath night with hair washing. Of course, I couldn't go to bed until my hair was dry. Conveniently, it seldom dried before Carol Burnett was over. (Needed a little re-wetting boost from time to time, tbh.)

I forgot how good that show was. I laughed more watching last night, than I have at any TV show of the last decade.

I loved it! She has aged gracefully.

....the ratings for this were better than most original programming in that time slot......

[mrbigstuff]

Didn't see it, but what of Tim Conway?

[NewtonMP2100]

....not sure......he wasn't an 'original' cast member.....he was added later as recurring, I believe and then became permanent....he is also very old so not sure if he has health issues......??
