The Carol Burnett Prove is an American diversity/sketch one-act tv set show that originally ran on CBS from September 11, 1967 to March 29, 1978, for 279 episodes, and again with nine episodes in fall 1991. It starred Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Lyle Waggoner. In 1975, frequent invitee star Tim Conway became a regular after Waggoner left the series.^[2] In 1977, Dick Van Dyke replaced Korman but it was agreed that he was not a match and he left after x episodes.^[three]

The series originated in CBS Television City'due south Studio 33, and won 25 primetime Emmy Awards. In 2013, TV Guide ranked The Carol Burnett Evidence number 17 on its listing of the 60 Greatest Shows of All Time,^[4] and in 2007 it was included on the list of Time 's 100 All-time TV Shows of All Time.^[5]

Later on the original run ended, cloth from 1972 to 1977 (seasons six–10) was repackaged equally a one-half-hour series known every bit Carol Burnett and Friends , which has aired in various syndicated outlets more-or-less continuously since the original series ended. Because of this format, fabric from the first 5 seasons did not air, outside of their original run, until 2019 when MeTV caused the rights to these earlier seasons and began ambulation them. The cast has periodically reunited for various ane-off specials and brusk appearances, and several members of the cast went on to star in Mama's Family unit (1983–1990), a half-hour situation one-act based on "The Family" sketch series from The Carol Burnett Show.

Groundwork [edit]

Past 1967, Carol Burnett had been a popular veteran of boob tube for 12 years, having made her commencement appearances in 1955 on The Paul Winchell Show and the sitcom Stanley starring the comedian Buddy Hackett. In 1959, she became a regular supporting bandage fellow member on the CBS-Tv set variety serial The Garry Moore Show. Departing the serial in the jump of 1962, she pursued other projects in film, Broadway productions, and headlining her own television specials. Burnett signed a contract with CBS for ten years which required her to do two guest appearances and a special a year. Within the first 5 years of this contract, she had the option to "push the button", a phrase the programming executives used,^[vi] and exist put on the air in thirty 1-hour, pay-or-play diversity shows.

After discussion with her husband Joe Hamilton, in the last week of the 5th year of the contract, Burnett decided to telephone call the head of CBS Michael Dann and practice the clause. Dann, explaining that diverseness is a "man'due south genre", offered Burnett a sitcom chosen Here's Agnes. Burnett had no interest in doing a sitcom, and considering of the contract, CBS was obliged to give Burnett her ain multifariousness show.^[7]

The popular and long-running diversity show that resulted not only established Burnett as a television superstar, but it also made her regular supporting cast household names. It was oft nominated for Emmys for best diverseness series and won three times.^{[ citation needed ]}

Production [edit]

Cast [edit]

On the left, chief cast members in 1967 (clockwise from the bottom): Burnett, Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Lyle Waggoner, on the right, the 1977 bandage: Burnett, Tim Conway, Lawrence, and Korman

In addition to Carol Burnett, the cast consisted of:

• Vicki Lawrence
• Harvey Korman (seasons 1–x)
• Lyle Waggoner (seasons 1–vii)
• Tim Conway (seasons 9–11; frequent guest performer in seasons 1–viii)
• Dick Van Dyke (first half of season 11)

Comedic role player Harvey Korman had done many guest shots in TV sitcoms. From 1963 to 1967, he had been a semi-regular on the CBS variety series The Danny Kaye Bear witness. Burnett already had become an admirer of Korman's talent every bit a sketch comedian on that series. When Kaye's program concluded in the spring of 1967, Burnett insisted that he be signed for her series and Korman immediately joined The Carol Burnett Prove as a regular.

Actor Lyle Waggoner had recently auditioned for the championship role in the ABC series Batman only was passed over in favor of Adam West. Shortly later, Waggoner auditioned for the Burnett show and was immediately hired. He would often play a handsome man for Burnett to fawn over. His participation on the serial was somewhat modeled on Durward Kirby of The Garry Moore Show, as Waggoner was too the show's announcer in addition to playing in sketches.

Vicki Lawrence, a immature vocalist from The Immature Americans wrote a letter to Burnett when she was 17, remarking on their concrete resemblance. This led to her audition and getting hired to play Burnett'due south kid sister in numerous "Carol and Sis" sketches.

Costumes [edit]

Bob Mackie created all of the costumes, including evening gowns, character outfits and dance clothing for guests during the run of the evidence, including the iconic curtain dress from the "Went with the Wind!" sketch,^[8] which is now housed in the Smithsonian Institution. Burnett credited him with coming up with comedic touches for various characters, such every bit the tight-legged skirt for Mr. Tudball's secretary, Mrs. Wiggins. She told Mackie the skirt was too amorphous in the back for her physique, but he told her to stick her bottom out to fill information technology, resulting in the character'south distinctive posture and walk. In a 2003 interview with Terry Gross, she said Mackie would put rice in the "older woman" undergarments, where typically cotton would've been used, to make the saggy breasts have weight and motion as the characters walked or danced, such equally when Burnett portrayed Norma Desmond or Charo's mother.^[9] Burnett estimated that Mackie had created 17,000 outfits for the prove, and said his costume work added more sense of humour to some of the skits Burnett felt were weaker than others.^[x]

Guests [edit]

Jim Nabors was the guest star on every flavor premiere of the show. Burnett considered Nabors to be her almanac skilful luck charm.

In addition, several notable grapheme actors were used in the comedy sketches in featured roles, especially in the before seasons. Such actors include William Schallert, Isabel Sanford, Vivian Bonnell, Brad Trumbull, Bob Duggan, Dick Patterson, Inga Neilsen, and Reta Shaw.

Opening [edit]

A favorite feature consisted of an unrehearsed question-and-answer segment with the audience in CBS Studio 33 (now Bob Barker Studio) lasting about three to iv minutes at the start of most shows. Burnett stated that she borrowed the concept from Garry Moore, who did the aforementioned on his variety testify, merely never taped it.^[11] Burnett asked for the lights to be turned upwards ("let's crash-land up the lights") and then randomly picked audience members who raised their hands. Burnett often advertizing-libbed funny answers, just occasionally ended upwardly as the direct (wo)homo. For example:

Young woman: "Accept you lot ever taken acting lessons?"

Carol: "Yes, I have."

Young adult female: "Do you think it did whatever good?"

Rehearsals and advert-libs [edit]

The show was rehearsed each day until its two Friday tapings. Differently colored cue cards (black, blue, green, and red) were used for each major performer ("Carol Burnett: Bump-Up the Lights"). The 2d taping was fairly routine until Tim Conway came aboard every bit a invitee star. As a recurring invitee star from the show'southward launch and afterward a regular cast member, Conway inserted unrehearsed bits into sketches that became known to the staff as "Conway's Capers". Conway would play the get-go taping directly, only (if the sketch had played well in the first taping, and could exist used) would ad-lib bizarre scenarios during the 2d. Some notable clips included Conway as a Nazi interrogator berating an American captive (Lyle Waggoner). Using a Hitler puppet and a pencil as a "club", Conway sang three verses of "I've Been Working on the Railroad" every bit Waggoner tried in vain to ignore him. Some, like the Hitler puppet, fabricated it into the final circulate; others, like a notably convoluted story about Siamese elephants joined at the trunk (ad-libbed during a 1977 "Mama's Family" sketch), were edited, the uncensored version only appearing years subsequently on CBS specials. Conway's favorite victim was Harvey Korman, who often broke character reacting to Conway'south zaniness, such equally when Conway played a dentist misusing Novocain or the recurring part of "The Oldest Man" – an elderly, shuffling, senile man who slowly rolled down stairs and fell prey to various mechanical mishaps (including an electric wheelchair and an automated dry-cleaning rack).

Ending [edit]

The show as well became known for its closing theme song, written by Burnett'south husband, Joe Hamilton, with these lyrics:^[12]

I'm and then glad we had this time together

Just to have a express mirth or sing a song

Seems we just get started and before you know it

Comes the time we have to say, "So long."

At the close of each episode, Burnett tugged her ear. This silent message was meant for her grandmother, who raised her, and meant she was thinking of her at that moment. After her grandmother's death, Burnett continued the tradition.

Circulate [edit]

When The Carol Burnett Prove made its network debut on CBS-Boob tube on September xi, 1967, it was scheduled on Mondays at 10:00 pm (EST) opposite NBC's I Spy and ABC's The Big Valley. At the end of its first season and through the spring of 1971, it consistently ranked amongst the top-xxx programs. (For the 1969–70 season, it posted its highest rating e'er, ranking at number 13.) For season five, CBS moved the show to Wednesdays at 8:00 pm (EST), where its chief competition was NBC's Adam-12 and the ABC sitcoms Bewitched and The Courting of Eddie's Begetter. Despite the schedule change, the testify connected to exercise well until the fall of 1972, when the ratings slipped. In December 1972, CBS once again moved The Carol Burnett Show to Saturdays at 10:00 pm (EST) where, for the next four years, it not only received solid ratings, but was too role of a powerhouse Saturday-dark lineup of primetime shows that included All in the Family unit, Thousand*A*Due south*H, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and The Bob Newhart Show.

In the 1973–74 season, the "Family" sketches (with Burnett as Eunice, Korman as her husband Ed, and Lawrence as Eunice's mother) were introduced and the "Ballad and Sis" segments were phased out. At the end of that season (the serial' seventh), subsequently having been with The Carol Burnett Prove from the beginning, Lyle Waggoner left the series to pursue other acting opportunities. The following flavour, Waggoner's spot as a supporting regular remained vacant. Don Crichton, the atomic number 82 male dancer on the show, began to inherit some of Waggoner's duties. Then in season nine, considering of his many pop invitee appearances on the serial, Tim Conway was signed as a total-time regular, joining Korman and Lawrence.

From left to right: Conway, Burnett, and Dick Van Dyke in the last season

In November 1976, the series' 10th year, The Carol Burnett Show presented what would become ane of its best-known and most well-regarded sketches: "Went with the Air current!," a parody of the 1939 film Gone with the Wind, which had its television receiver debut on NBC the week earlier. After the 1976–77 season ended, Harvey Korman decided to go out the serial. After a decade of working with Burnett and winning several Emmy Awards, Korman had been offered a contract by ABC to headline his own series. Also, the ratings had begun to decline with the serial ending its tenth flavour in 44th place as opposed to the previous year's Nielsen rating at No. 29. Even so, CBS renewed Burnett'due south testify for an 11th flavor.

Dick Van Dyke, fresh from headlining his own short-lived Emmy-winning variety serial, Van Dyke & Company, was brought in to supersede Korman. However, his presence did not help stalk the sagging ratings, as the show faced new competition in ABC'due south The Beloved Boat. Later three months, Van Dyke departed the show, and CBS, in a desperate attempt to save the series, moved The Ballad Burnett Testify from Saturdays at 10:00 pm (EST) to Sundays at the same 60 minutes, outset in Dec 1977. Regular guest stars Steve Lawrence and Ken Berry were brought in to fill the void left past Korman and Van Dyke. The ratings improved considerably.

CBS wanted to renew the evidence for another year, but by this fourth dimension, Burnett had grown tired of the weekly grind and wanted to explore acting roles outside of the comedy genre, despite her success in information technology. With the changes in bandage along with the mediocre ratings, she felt that television was undergoing a transition and that the variety series format was on its manner out. Therefore, Burnett decided to cease the series on her ain rather than be canceled later. Thus, on March 29, 1978, in a special two-hour finale entitled "A Special Evening with Carol Burnett", The Carol Burnett Show left primetime tv after 11 years, finishing its concluding season in 66th place. Reruns were aired during the summertime of 1978.

• Carol and Sis – Burnett as Carol and Vicki Lawrence equally her sister Chris with Korman as Carol'due south husband Roger

After the series [edit]

Continuations and revivals [edit]

In the fall of 1977, while the serial was even so running in prime time, the comedy sketches of the show were re-edited into freestanding programs; the resulting prove enjoyed success for many years in syndicated reruns (as Ballad Burnett and Friends, a one-half-hour edition of selected 1972–77 material).

In the bound of 1979, a yr later The Ballad Burnett Show left the air, Burnett and her married man Joe Hamilton were dining in a eating house with friends, including Tim Conway. At that gathering, Burnett got contemplative and started reminiscing about the bear witness and making suggestions to Conway concerning sketches that she wished they could exist creating if the evidence were still running. Hamilton suggested to Burnett that she exercise a summer series. Taking that idea, Burnett and Hamilton approached CBS about doing a iv-calendar week program in the summertime of 1979. CBS already had its schedule filled for the summer months and rejected the idea. However, ABC was interested, and as a effect, four postscript episodes of The Carol Burnett Evidence were produced. Under the title Carol Burnett & Visitor, the show premiered on Saturday, Baronial 18, 1979, and included many favorite sketches such equally "Mr. Tudball and Mrs. Wiggins", "The Family", "As The Tum Turns", and Burnett doing her impersonation of Queen Elizabeth 2. Its format was very much like to Burnett'south series, with two exceptions. Due to the unavailability of Harvey Korman (who, ironically, had been under contract to ABC since he had left Burnett's show in 1977), comic actors Kenneth Mars and Craig Richard Nelson were added to the supporting cast, joining Lawrence and Conway. Ernie Flatt, who had been the choreographer on Burnett's testify for its unabridged 11-yr run, was replaced by the show's atomic number 82 dancer Don Crichton. The guest stars in that iv-calendar week menstruation were (chronologically) Cheryl Ladd, Alan Arkin, Penny Marshall, and Emerge Field. The reviews of the series were very favorable, with several critics heartily welcoming Burnett dorsum to weekly television set, albeit on a express footing. The ratings also were respectable and plans were appear for the programme to get a yearly summer result, but information technology never happened.

In 1980, Joe Hamilton produced The Tim Conway Show, a variety serial in the same vein with Conway as host and much of the staff of Carol Burnett & Company conveying over. Harvey Korman would join Conway every bit a co-host later in the prove'southward brusque run; it ended in 1981.

The "Family unit" sketches led to a 1982 CBS made-for-television film called Eunice starring Burnett, Korman, Lawrence, Betty White, and Ken Berry. The success of this programme spawned a spin-off sitcom titled Mama'south Family, starring Vicki Lawrence and Ken Berry, which ran from 1983 to 1990. It occasionally featured Burnett and Korman guest-starring every bit Eunice and Ed Higgins; Burnett's interest in Mama's Family was limited due to her divorce from producer Joe Hamilton.^[15] In the first year and a half of the testify's run, Korman as well appeared as narrator Alastair Quince, introducing each episode (a parody of Alastair Cooke hosting Masterpiece Theatre) and he as well directed 31 episodes of the serial.

NBC aired a comedy one-half-hour repertory serial called Carol & Company that premiered in March 1990. Information technology proved to be moderately successful in the ratings and was renewed for a second season. The regulars on the show included Peter Krause, Jeremy Piven, Terry Kiser, Meagen Fay, Anita Barone, and Richard Kind (and occasional invitee stars, including Betty White and Burt Reynolds); each calendar week's prove was a different one-half-hour one-act play. This plan lasted until July 1991.

CBS brought dorsum The Carol Burnett Bear witness for some other run in the fall of 1991; new regulars included Meagen Fay and Richard Kind (brought over from the NBC show), and Chris Barnes, Roger Kabler, and Jessica Lundy. Even so, the times had inverse and Burnett's sense of humor was tame compared to the edgier comedy popular in the 1990s. The series failed to catch on with the public and only six episodes of this revival were aired.

In 1996, reruns of the syndicated Carol Burnett and Friends package aired on The Family Channel. Information technology likewise aired on Boob tube Land from 2004 to 2005. Showtime in January 2015, the show arrogance on MeTV at 11:00 PM ET.^[16]

The episodes of The Carol Burnett Prove from 1967 to 1972 had never been released in syndication until 2019, when MeTV added the episodes to its library on April 14, 2019.^[17]
