Product Description:
Enjoy this incredible laugh-filled reunion that started the nostalgia craze for classic "feel good" television. Marvel over the most hilarious moments when this funny foursome couldn't keep straight faces, and subsequently brought the house down. If laughter is your best medicine, The Carol Burnett Show: Show Stoppers is a healthy dose you'll want to watch over and over again.

If you don't get at least a half-dozen belly laughs from this compilation of outtakes from The Carol Burnett Show, you'd better check your pulse. Originally broadcast on CBS in 2001, this affectionate retrospective reunites the peerless cast of Burnett's variety show--Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, Tim Conway, and Harvey Korman--to answer audience questions and reminisce. The cast recalls the many times they lost composure on camera, halting sketches due to all varieties of faux pas, from faulty props (or urinating horses) to mutual crack-ups. Culled from the show's mid-1970s heyday, the clips are infectiously hilarious, and the cast never missed an opportunity to inject a little raunchiness (later deleted) into their otherwise wholesome entertainment. Conway's the real conspirator here, frequently turning Korman into a helpless heap of giggles, and costume designer Bob Mackie (pulled from the audience) is given fair tribute for his outlandish creativity. TV like this doesn't exist any more, and Show Stoppers will make you wonder why. --Jeff Shannon

- Show Stopper
What a disappointment. Show stoppers is just that - the point where the show "stopped"It's like reading a comic book with only the punch lines.NO set up, NO nothing, and about the time you start remembering where the skit started, in ends "half way through the punch line"Need to ge a complete series, not this snippit of the skits with no set up or explanation.

DVD was new. Had seen the show before.Wasn't impressed.Thought this would be more of the shows themselves, not just the actors talking about it.Oh well.
