The Carol Burnett Show - Season 11 (1977)

While there’s no truth to the rumor that “CBS” ever stood for The Carol Burnett Show, for over a decade this star-studded extravaganza of sketch comedy, song and dance defined entertainment for TV viewers. Taped before a live audience at Hollywood’s CBS Television City Studio 33, The Carol Burnett Show featured clever, dazzling production numbers in an intimate environment, thanks to strategic camera placement that brought the actors and audience closer together. Burnett operated in a relaxed theater setting that allowed her to take questions, cut loose with her famous Tarzan yell and join second bananas Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner to have a laugh or sing a song.
