Still one of the best shows on TV today - far better than 99% of the crap produced today 🤪

The live takes of her, Harvey Corman and Tim Conway were pure comedy gold.

Watched her show as a kid with my family. We all loved her. And that Lyle Waggoner! Yummy! :)

Loved all the ‘Guest Stars’ too - especially anyone that sang with her. Loved it when Ken Berry would dance! And Vicki Lawrence! Her perfect ‘little sister’ and flat-out funny in her own right. And Tim and Harvey. *HEART*

I still watch her in re-runs, today. She always puts a smile on my face. Always will.

Lyle Waggoner memorial. He died in 2020.

Indeed. It was a great comedy show.

I loved her. Wanted to adopt her as my eccentric aunt...

I watched it religiously. The punch line in the Gone With the Wind spoof was one of the funniest moments in the history of TV

No matter how many times husband and I have seen it, the Tim Conway Siamese Elephant skit destroys us. And it wouldn’t be half as funny without the reactions of the others.

One of the funniest skits was when Tim Conway improved a story about an elephant, and Vicky waited patiently for a break, and then zinger him good. Tim fell oh the floor laughing so hard.

The inability of Conway to keep a straight face was comedy gold in itself...

I've never been a huge fan of hers.However,I can easily see where her comedy might resonate more with women....just as surely as the Three Stooges resonate more with guys.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with comedians focusing their work more on one sex than the other.

Vicki Lawrence was very young when she started the show. Only 18 when she started.

And the Siamese elephants joined at the trunk story by Tim Conway had everyone rolling!
