Lucille Ball’s last comedy wasn’t very good. She was older and her age showed. Hopefully Burnett will be better.
You're right. I remember that show - "Life With Lucy." It only lasted a half season. I remember watching the first couple of episodes and feeling sorry for her. What worked well for her in the 50s and 60s did not work at all in the mid 1980s. It was painful to watch, like seeing a once great athlete hang on too long, trying to regain his former glory. That's my fear with Carol Burnett. I would hate to see her end her career in a similar manner.
