The Carol Burnette Show was fabulous.

The bloopers and outtakes from that show are even funnier! Tim Conway's antics would render his castmates into blubbering crying hysterics and the audience would follow suit.

They recently played a Carol Burnette compilation on TV and I had never laughed so hard in a long time. It was far funnier than anything on TV today.

The best part of watching it was seeing them try desperately to hold it together and not lose it on the set.

I'm so sorry I missed the Carol Burnette compilation. The (apparently extemporaneous, an outtake, if I remember) bit by Tim Conway about elephants kissing by putting the ends of their trunks together, and then one of them sneezed - I almost turned purple myself!

Remember his ad-libbed skit about the baby Siamese elephants,who were joined at the trunk? He had the rest of them wiping tears from their eyes before it was over. I don't think I ever laughed any harder. Korman and Conway were probably the most under-appreciated comics ever.
