This DVD was an expensive and disappointing purchase. Amazon did not give a good or accurate synopsis of what this DVD/tape is all about. What it is is a one-hour CBS television special minus commercials (42 minutes) of self-praise by the Carol Burnett Show cast. Don't get me wrong, they're great but we only got tid bits when we were looking and hungry for a full course meal of Carol, Vicki, Harvey and Tim! Very disappointing. Give me my money back! Don't buy this. Wait until something else comes out!

I was so disappointed with the quality of the videos. The volume had to be constantly adjusted and there were skips in the audio that eliminated two or three words about every 15 seconds. I was embarrassed to have sent two videos as gifts. When I viewed the other 6 videos with friends for the first time it was very irritating, and not funny, to view such poor quality taping. I am shocked that Ms Burnett would promote these tapes produced by your company. Your offers will not be recommended in the future.

This DVD is about 40 minutes long (shorter than her original shows!) and really skimpy on content ..... after 11 years on the air, this is a sad showing of "best moments"
The content is divided between cast chatter and cast crack-ups .... none of our favorite clips!

I was two years old when The Carol Burnett Show aired on TV and the show was on for about 11 years so I grew up watching that classic variery skit show in the 70s and I loved it. Now I remember waching this reunion show on television a few years ago and while I wish they had shown more skits and had less talking about them it was interesting to hear Carol, Vicky, Tim and Harvey talking about how much they loved doing the skits and all of the fun they had and you could really tell how much they all liked and respected each other so I actually enjoyed watching their Show Stoppers Special but what would really be wonderful is if they put the Carol Burnett show on DVD in complete seasons or best of DVD's!

I am a faithful fan of Carol and team and was realy looking forward to the DVD. It was great to see them all, but, what I thought was a great pity, is that just part of certain scenes were shown. The "naughty" words were still bleeped out, and it was too short. Even though, I recommend it highly.

I would wish that the shows that were televised daily on some TV stations, would be put on DVD. I would buy the first one and all that follow.

Carol, your fans miss you.

Not knowing what to expect was part of the problem, but the main problem is that the entire DVD is less than 45 minute long. Quite a waste if you ask me.
Most of the time is spent either talking to the audience or to eachother from the four stars of the show. It doesn't really have any skit excerpts longer than 30 seconds.
Definitely not worth the price.

The content was funny but there were a lot more scenes and bloopers that could have been put on the dvd. Bit short given the run that show had.

While classically funny, this short 45 minute flashback to some favourite episodes by the stars themselves was disappointing. It was too short and the sketches were not complete - just highlights. To sit back for a good long laugh will only take you to a few moments of hilarity. Good for a collection, but not for a whole evening's entertainment.

I loved this DVD. It featured Vicky, Tim, Harvey and of course Carol in various funny skits and bloopers. Would recommend for those who want a lot of laughs

I expected the DVD to be a collection of TV shows - but it was only 46 minutes of selected scenes. I was disappointed. The DVD arrived in excellent shape and very quickly.
