1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected - I'll be more careful from now on..., Mar 28 2007

This review is from: The Carol Burnett Show - Let's Bump Up The Lights/Showstoppers (2-disc set) (DVD)

I guess it's a matter of 'Due Diligence' on my part. I bought this set as a gift for my wife as she loved this show in her younger years and wanted to share that experience with me.

I bought this set thinking we were going to sit back and watch some of Carol Burnett's classic shows, or at least a decent compilation of the show's best moments.

Instead, what we got were less than 2 hours of 2 'Remember the Good Old Days' shows where the stars reminisced about some of their favourite moments, sprinkled with clips of some of these moments.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that the clips weren't enjoyable, I had a good laugh here and there, but I feel like I just bought 15 minutes worth of show with the rest being fluff I wasn't interested in. It would have been nice if Amazon had more details about this product so that I could have made a more informed choice.

If you're a Carol Burnett fan and need every scrap of footage and want to hear the stars share their favourite moments, then you might like it. However, if you are looking for a decent sampling of Carol's classic shows you'll be sadly disappointed like I was.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment, Jan 15 2009

I should have paid more attention to the review above. The CD's were a huge disappointment. There were next to no clips from any of the shows - it was all reminiscent talk among the four main characters. I had seen a TV special 4 or 5 years ago, and it was full of some of the best moments of the weekly shows. I wonder where you can get that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Carol Burnett Shows, Sep 4 2009

By

Jean Seaborne (London, Ontario) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Carol Burnett Show - Let's Bump Up The Lights/Showstoppers (2-disc set) (DVD)

We enjoyed all 3 DVD,s of Carole Burnett'e "Bump Up The Lights" & "Show Stoppers" & Tim Conway's " Timeless Comedy"

Invited friends over and had a good laugh.

The only disappointment we found is that it would be nice to see a series of her TV comedy shows. Excerts are fine but would love to see some of her shows in its entirety.

Also would enjoy "Laugh In" series. At a reasonable priceing.

They are all "Timeless Comedies."

1.0 out of 5 stars Wasn't what I was looking for
I was looking for full length episodes of the show. The little write up on the video wasn't clear, and I was very disappointed.
