I’m 40 so I was sorta on the tail end of the variety show era as a kid.

I have very fond memories of watching Carol Burnett with my gram every week.

I absolutely loved Donnie and Marie. Even watched the one with the Mandrell sisters.

It would be fun to see a comeback of those type of shows if they are quality and not trash.

I remember the Mandrell Sister’s show! It had to be the very early 80’s. I don’t think it ran for very long.

It seems like the networks can’t figure out the formula to make it work and end up going way too silly.

that show in reruns still makes me laugh until I cry. Especially when Tim and Harvey would get tickled and start laughing uncontrollably. Harvey could barely finish the skits and it was just so funny to watch.
