There were only 3 networks then, so each one got a huge share of the viewing audience. This meant massive advertising revenue for sponsors, who gave big chunks of that money to the top-rated shows. Today, there are hundreds of channels, and streaming of on-demand video. No one channel could get anywhere near the viewers that would bring in the advertising $ that would fund a weekly, big-budget, variety show.
To anyone in the future who, like me, was perplexed by the sketch that starts at 12:16, it's riffing on old tv commercials. The hand punching her out of the washing machine is referencing "Colgate Punch Detergent", the crown out of the fridge is "Imperial Margarine" (it 'puts a crown on your head'), the pigeons are "Dove Dish Washing Detergent" where the Dove brand soap bottle kept turning into a bird and flying to the kitchen from the bathroom (because it can be dish and hand soap), and finally she's impaled by a knight's lance from the "Ajax Laundry Detergent" commercial (the knight rides by some oil workers wearing dirty clothes and his lance magically cleans them).
I'm up to the car rental sketch and now I know the answer to the question, what happens when three of the greatest comedic minds on earth go onstage together. Pure, unadulterated genius!
To see both of these comedic female geniuses on stage at the same time is extradentary. Thank you for posting this. They both stand shoulder to shoulder in their own right.
Awesome actually cried a bit at the end. Never seen this one. Must have been right before Tim joined the cast. Carol & Lucy are still the funniest women in history! Tim & Harvey just Hilarious!! Harvey couldn't keep a straight face seeing Tim's face!! Total crack up! ❤😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you🎉
16:29 - The female dancer with short, black hair and a pink dress with B&W vertical-striped overlay, is Lorene Yarnell, before she became half of the mime duo Shields & Yarnell. She was also a dancer in the movie "Bye Bye Birdie".
If this was in 1967 I wasn't even born yet. I was born in 1968. But I grew up watching the Carol Barnett show. I loved it and I still love watching the reruns. ❤
@@francesheinig6420 She played Liz Chandler. Liz was in love with Don but they broke up. She was secretly married to Tony Dimera but fell in love with Neil Curtis after her and Don broke up. Marie Horton was also in love with him. I remember Liz and Marie hated each other. Liz ended up accidentally shooting Marie when Liz mistakenly thought she was a burgler. Liz went to jail and released on parole. She left town shortly after that. She publsihed a cookbook back in the 80's. I still use it to this day.
Dang, this was now FIFTY-FIVE years ago, Lyle and Harvey and Tim are all gone, leaving Carol and Vicki. Lyle looked like a kid then, and was about 85 when he died!
Wow-wee!!! "Heaven, I'm in Heaven and my 💜 beats so that I can hardly 🙊" Loved it so very much! Even better than the episode with Barbara Eden, though that one was great 👍too! But nothing beats Lucille Ball performing with Carol Burnett👏👏 I'm watching this in Australia 🦘 on Saturday night the 17th of June, 2023. Also enjoyed seeing a very young Gloria Loring sing two songs. Gloria went on to play Liz Chandler, in "Days of Our Lives", in the 1980's. Gloria also scored a No 2 Hit Song on the Billboard Music 🎶🎵 Charts in 1986, with the song "Friends and Lovers", performed with Carl Anderson, Patch and Kayla's theme song on "Days of Our Lives." Also recorded by Carl Anderson alone. Love from Australia 🦘 💕💞💗💖
This show brings back wonderful memories of my childhood. My family and I would watch this every Saturday night at 9 p.m.central time, channel 4 in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
TV was never Free. They had commercials even on The Gary Moore Show, where Carol made her debut. But remember in the 1970s when PBS not only was free, but a half hour program lasted for 30 minutes, no commercials, and no previews of coming shows.
And to think this is the same Vicki Lawrence who, ten years later, would cement her place in history when she countered Tim Conway's ad libbing in a "Eunice" skit with those immortal words from Mama: "You sure that asshole's through?" LOL
She still spoke more like a Texan in the early days of the show! I don’t think "y'all" was in widespread use outside of the south in those days. Cool to see (hear?)!
She and Lucy were the best of friends. Lucy always called her kid, and always sent her flowers on her birthday. Flowers arrived in the afternoon on the day Lucy died.
If the name Durward Kirby sounds familiar but you can’t quite place it… he gets name-checked in Pulp Fiction. Mia orders a Durward Kirby burger, bloody.
Cafe Argentine is funny because apparently there were Nazies that went to live in the "west if Argentina" after the war ended, as it is also mentioned here. There's been argentinian people who claimed to have seen Hitler and even served him food in Argentina after the war, when he was supposed to have been already dead.
Just right, thats why the.jewis state came after fomer nazi officials escaping captivity, we all know the story,just let us give a break to good old humour
In fact it was something of an open secret by then, and they were merely lampooning it. But a brilliant sketch that went to a place that they'd *never* allow today...
It is not a theory. The Nazi party began planning for the fact of their defeat long before D day. Aided by the Catholic church they did indeed make good their escape to south America. It would be naive to believe they have given up on the plan they tried twice to complete.
Its been common knowledge that Buenos Aires has been the magnet for all the ex-nazis, since Peron facilitated their entrance, along with the catholic church. There has been an interesting movie called Grey Wolf re: all this migration. So it is not a fable.
This was what I came looking for in the comments. Had no idea it was such popular knowledge that long ago. The way it's talked about in recent years makes it sounds like some new discovery. I was so unsure if I was reading that skit right.
There was a bit on Rowan and Martins Laugh-In where Werner Kemplerer who played Col Klink on Hogans Heroes was in full uniform and cracked “How do you like my uniform? It’s worn by many Argentine cab drivers!”
The Argentine restaurant sketch was based on the fact that many Nazis escaped prosecution for war crimes, by fleeing to Argentina, which welcomed them with open arms. The sketch was done in 1967, just 22 years after the end of World War II.
Lucy looks good here - I wonder why she didn’t look this good on her own show, with that clown-red wig she wore there. Her hairstyle is closer to what she wore on I Love Lucy, too.
Lucy is always fabulous but you can tell her divorce from Ricky changed her. The pain is so evident in her voice and eyes. How anyone could betray Lucy like Ricky did I'll never understand. ❤
Gloria Loring gimmicky performance but very nice voice... she became a big star on afternoon soaps. She was married to Alan Thicke 1970-86. but married to a Lagler for last 30 years.
You guys keep uploading a lot more episodes sooner I’m assuming there’s something you’re not telling us like if Carol is on the way out can you at least give us a heads up so we can celebrate her while she’s alive
Lucy and Carol are two of the funniest women in history.
When TV was worth the cost, but was basically FREE.....anyone recall.that??? Lol....one of the best shows ever...
Yes,yes, oh!!! yes.
😅😅[[😅🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢of 9⁹
You are 💯 dead right! If I could go back....? I would 🥰

Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten a couple.
Never would have figured it out without your explanation, thanks!
You’re the best. Thank u for explaining.
Thank you so much. As a viewer from England, I would not have understood without your kind explanation. :D
I knew them all when they were doing it, except for the last one! Thank you so much! Carol and Lucy funniest women in history
She was the best and picked some very talented people for her show!!!
she is still alive
I really liked watching Vicki dance the way they did back then. This is an episode I've never seen before. What a treat!
Harvey flippin Korman.... Dude.... GENIUS! He was Carols favorite comedian... She has said so for decades. Pure brilliance ✨✨✨
Thank you Carol and the rest. 55 years later and you gave me a smile.
I'm up to the car rental sketch and now I know the answer to the question, what happens when three of the greatest comedic minds on earth go onstage together. Pure, unadulterated genius!
It's enough to make one bust a gut!
@@jasminnemcdonald94A I sure did!

LUCILLE Y CAROL gracias infinitas por hacer de mi infancia mas feliz.Bendiciones a las dos❤😅2024 Chile.
True comedy queen
Carol just turned 90. I wish her many many more. Wish Lucy was still around.
What beautiful and talented women, both Carol and Lucy. The show brought good clean family fun and laughter 😂😂😂
Try To Remember always induces tears. I’m elderly and my time is short. 😢
It took on an even deeper sadness after 9-11.
Awesome actually cried a bit at the end. Never seen this one. Must have been right before Tim joined the cast. Carol & Lucy are still the funniest women in history! Tim & Harvey just Hilarious!! Harvey couldn't keep a straight face seeing Tim's face!! Total crack up! ❤😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you🎉
This was only the 4th episode of the show. Tim didn't officially become a regular until Lyle Waggoner left, in 1974.
Is this the first time Tim Conway was on the show? The way Carol introduced him I suspect it was. What a wonderful show with Lucille Ball no less!
Probably. He was a frequent guest before he became a regular later on.
He might as well have been a regular. I think he and Steve Lawrence alternated weeks most of the time.
@@scootergurlNanette Fabray became a semi-regular in the early years, too.
I was born in 1975 but I remember watching The Carol Burnett show with my grandma. Then went on to absolutely love Mama's Family.
Carol burnett I love your show ❤️ ♥️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wish I could have worked on this show the people there looks fun to be around and can learn so much from
In person it likely was just hard work. The smiles are almost an afterthought. And God help you if you cross one of these high voltage dames.
Me too 😌🌷

love Carol's hair, very chic
And still very fashionable today.

Great! always funny.. Gloria Loring was a marvelous singer.
She sang the theme to
"The Facts of Life"
Loved her on Days Of Our Lives
@@comixreadr
I recognize her but can't remember who she played on Days of Our Lives. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Lucy segments were my favorite. It's rare to find LOL moments nowadays. But I experienced many in this show.
Tim Conway had the cutest smile.
Sending lots of love to the funniest woman on the planet Carol Burnett,
Tim Conway was so funny. One of the best. 👍👌💯
I love Carol’s dresses when she first steps out on stage!
Belly Up to the Bar Boys is one of my favorite songs! It’s from the Unsinkable Molly Brown play/film! Awesome show!
I start smiling when the show starts...and I grin all through it!😊
Carol is beautiful
Carol Burnett'. One of a kind. Genius ♥️♥️🙏💯👍👌
I love those saloon girls dancing. They are amazing!
I loved the clothes from back then. The dresses they wore were so cute. Wish that style would come back
He was soo handsome 🥰😍
Carol's dress at 5:32 reminds me of Charlie Brown's shirt.
I was thinking the same thing.
Wow Gloria was so young she played Liz on Dool from 80-86
I love Tim Conway
Dang, this was now FIFTY-FIVE years ago, Lyle and Harvey and Tim are all gone, leaving Carol and Vicki. Lyle looked like a kid then, and was about 85 when he died!
really enjoy these posts so happy when there's a new one. grew up watching these brilliant ppl thank you so much! ♥

I adore Carol.
Look at Mama up there gettin her gogo groove on!
Beautiful singing
Carol Burnett is so Genuine !!!

This colour-visual must have been the inspiration to the lyrics of Culture Club's Karma Chameleon.
Gorgeous!
First time I ever heard of Gloria Loring.
She is Robin Thicke's mom. She was also on Days of Our Lives in the 80s.
@@oldshowfanatic77 Thank you.
She is the lady that sings the theme to The Facts of Life.
Gloria Loring and then-husband Alan Thicke also composed both the themes to Diff' rent Strokes and The Facts of Life.
15:18 I saw the "I Dig Rock & Roll Music" number when it was first broadcast, and I can tell you they weren't kidding around, it wasn't parody.
I forgot what a cute flirt Carol was until I watch these episodes. ❤️💋
I grew up on this !!!!! Man...alot of German higher -ups Fled to Argentina after WW2 !!!
And still believe their odious fuhrer is still around. Also they still did not get rid of their gestapo attitude.!!!
Thanks for clearing that up! I didn't get why in an Argentinian Cafe Harvey Korman had a German accent and they had beer steins on display. Lol
Notable Events, Weather, Sports hasn't changed much.
I DIG IT!
Wow, the SECOND guy who asked Lyle Waggoner what his measurements were! I knew we were around even then!
And to think this is the same Vicki Lawrence who, ten years later, would cement her place in history when she countered Tim Conway's ad libbing in a "Eunice" skit with those immortal words from Mama: "You sure that asshole's through?" LOL
Dig those groooovy mini-dresses!
If this is how Carol deals with Super Guy, imagine Lois Lane dealing with Superman and his super powers!
Gloria Loring was on Days of Our Lives. She was also married to Alan Thicke.
And she's the mother of Robin Thicke.
In color, man Im glad
8:34 "Danke schön"
Oh, do you speak "Argentin"?
11:57 "SeñorJosé" .......
LOL I can´t , just can´t ROFL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She still spoke more like a Texan in the early days of the show! I don’t think "y'all" was in widespread use outside of the south in those days. Cool to see (hear?)!
" we have breaking news!.....the news machine is broken, ". Yes? No?
My Barbie doll had dresses like Carol’s.
LMFAO!....6:10..."Achtung! Your papers please!"...is this Canada 2022?
Maravilloso 👍
Lucy was 56 and still moved well in that dance number
she's got amazing legs!
Gloria Loring Sang the Facts of Life Theme!
Good to know thanks 😊
for a second I thought it was the actor who played Col. Klink on Hogan's Heroes. in the first skit.
It was so funny that Lucille Ball kept kissing Lyle
Lucille Ball unfortunately passed away on Carol Burnett's Birthday
She and Lucy were the best of friends. Lucy always called her kid, and always sent her flowers on her birthday. Flowers arrived in the afternoon on the day Lucy died.
That's how my energy efficient washer works.😐
Tim Conway is so CUTE !!!!
If the name Durward Kirby sounds familiar but you can’t quite place it… he gets name-checked in Pulp Fiction. Mia orders a Durward Kirby burger, bloody.
Wasn't he also on the Gary Moore Show? The show that helped launch Carol Burnett?
@@1bornconfused922 He was a performer (and announcer) on the Garry Moore Show (with Carol). He also co-hosted Candid Camera with Alan Funt
Looks like the Housewife was having a bad day. 😂🤣😂🤣
I had an enormous crush on Lyle when I was a little girl. I thought he was the most beautiful man ever, until Mark Spitz came along 😂
"Arrid Extra Dry.....to be sure". Five years later, Procter & Gamble would introduce its own Sure deodorant.

lol @ the superhero skit
Carol and Vickie really could be sisters
Lyle is gorgeous, but I’d rather marry Harvey
He definitely is in any century.
Season 1 Episode 4 10-2-67
So it was Carol's show that started this theory of the Germans escaping to Argentina? Or perhaps just popularized it?
In fact it was something of an open secret by then, and they were merely lampooning it. But a brilliant sketch that went to a place that they'd *never* allow today...

Yes. Hairstyle very becoming, close to "I Love Lucy" style, pushed back on the sides, beautiful woman.
Lucy was 56 in this episode.
Damn he was very very attractive no wonder why she had a hard time focusing lmao
😂🤭💖👍😎👏🙂
But this was 6 years before I was born
Lucille ball carol bernet show april 28 2023
Lucille e Carol fantastiche! 9dicembre 2023😅
If love to see Lady gaga do this. Singing out of my head and hiding a variety show just like this
These were the good old days when fun flirty behavior was just that... fun. Nowadays Carol would be accused of sexual harassment.
I wonder how Lois Lane could handle Superman's special power.🤔🤔🤔
Lucy is always fabulous but you can tell her divorce from Ricky changed her. The pain is so evident in her voice and eyes. How anyone could betray Lucy like Ricky did I'll never understand. ❤

She just celebrated her 90th birthday. That's why there's been so much of her lately. Isn't it wonderful?
