I wonder who did the animations too. In the first season they would show little cartoon title cards like Ski Lodge, Carol & Sis etc... before each sketch. I wonder if Carol kept those ?
@Boost Film Works Inc. I love Bill Littlejohn because he's born in Newark, NJ! The same state I was born! Also, he animated some of the early Tom and Jerry Cartoons in the early 1940s, The Peanuts Cartoons and movies in a long time (I really know that.), His commercials in his studio (I know that.), The Hole, The Hat, The other Hubley Studio cartoons, the intros of movies ( I also know that.), Heavy Metal, The Garfeild Cartoons, and etc.
@@Regreviews - She was proud of her friendship with Jim Nabors, who appeared in the "Andy Griffith Show" before he was given "Gomer Pyle, USMC." All 3 shows appeared on CBS.
@@OldsVistaCruiser And Jim Nabors, God rest his soul, was always the first guest on every season premiere of The Carol Burnett Show, as Carol felt that Jim was her "good luck charm." I remember either reading that or hearing that somewhere.
And they started using Souvenir Medium Italic (with swishes) as the logo for her show. In those seven years, Vicki had truly grown into a versatile performer - going straight from the old "Carol and Sis" sketches in that very year (1974) to the "Family" sketches where she played the crochety and heavily opinionated "Mama." And she shone in that year's "One Way Ticket" where she played ship doctor Ouspenskaya (impersonating Maria Ouspenskaya's accent) who diagnosed Carol's character as having "the movie disease" and who else had it and in what film ("vot Bette Davis had in 'Dark Wictory' . . . ").
Between re-clearing music and paying residuals to musicians and dancers, it was considered too expensive to leave the musical numbers in the syndication package. Carol approved it herself, knowing that the sketches are what most people remember from her show and what they want to see the most.
That butchering started in the '70s when the show went into syndication. All the musical numbers were excluded because of greed on the part of ASCAP and BMI, and that is the big reason big scale variety shows like Garry Moore and Carol Burnett aren't done anymore.
@@markjeffries3684 Musicians and dancers didn't get residuals in those days. It was strictly greed on the part of ASCAP and BMI wanting premium prices for those tributes.
This would be Harry Zimmerman's Orchestra and arrangers (think Dinah Shore Show) before his untimely death - to be replaced by 'ol Hullaballooer hip Peter Matz, who was totally 70's and ready for Carol.
From what I read in Wes Hyatt's book about the show, Harry Zimmerman was quietly forced into retirement in 1971, replaced by Peter Matz, and he lived another 6 years afterward.
Funny how this came out reflect on how carol burnett would play a mean drunkard orphanage warden who abuses and overworks 60 adorable and whiny little girls in 1933
Carol Burnett was before my time. I was a huge fan of CBS TV when I was a child. Otherwise, my 2 'mental thrill rides' were the CBS ID pic and the General Electric sponsor tag!
I wish Carol would have done a normal sitcom, I have never been a fan of variety shows and their were a whole lot of them in the 70's. I never understood their appeal.
"From Television City in Hollywood, it's THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW!"
Does anyone know who did the opening animations? The facial expressions were spot on!

@Boost Film Works Inc. bill also did commercials at his own studio

I've been trying to find out for years who did the cartoon of her. I thought she looked like a Don Martin drawing
Happy 90th birthday today to Carol, who is still going strong!
0:01 I guess we know what CBS means now.
A lot of people thought that back then, too, hence the fun the animators had in playing that up. :))
Well at that time she was dominating the channel

These are great! When the sponsor was king. Sounds like Lyle Waggoner doing the voice over
Which he did - until his departure in 1974, after which Tim Conway's old friend Ernie Anderson assumed voiceover duties for the show.
Like Lucy one of the true first ladies of comedy. Watched that show for 11 years never a dull moment. She is a class lady
Great memories. lmao at the Pall Mall sponsor @ 3:20 bragging about how their second hand smoke travels farther.
Love the show and openings, BTW I remember we had a 1968 Buick Wildcat like the one at 2:29
I love the 1974-75 season opening theme when they added a little disco beat to it, and Vicki Lawrence has an afro. lmao
tygersflowerz what happened to the animated Carol scratching her butt?

Every time I mop or sweep the floor I have this opening theme song going through my head.
Be careful using Ajax with the white tornado and extra ammonia; that's stuff's toxic.
me & my sister always sing this while cleaning:

Happy 90th birthday, Carol Burnett!!!
Before TBS butchered this show, in the 80s. Me TV, currently does the same thing. I love Me TV, but why not put this show on, as it was meant to be?

DecadesTV showed the whole hour at one time.

@@jehobden - Although for a few shows in 1974-75, Matz was inexplicably replaced as musical director by Irwin Kostal.
Carol Burnett is Jane Kangaroo in the Horton movie.
Pall Mall pronounced Pell Mell
That's how they pronounced it. The British way. Look up some of the old ads here. Goofy but true.
@@sushicourier I used to hear it this way a lot.
I used to think they pronounced it Pal Mal with a short A sound.
I used to sell them at drug store in NY. Not a single customer pronounced it that way.
@@sushicourier - They pronounce 'Z' as 'zed," so . . .
That Buick looks fabulous!
It looks like the 1968 Buick Wildcat my parents had when I was little.
That is one sweet looking Buick!
@@charlesmandus574 yes it's a '68
Happy 90th Birthday to You My Idol Legendary Comedian Singer and Actress Carol Burnett! 🎊🎉🎂🎈👑💖🌟❤️🎁

If you can remember this show you are really old. No denying this.

Christ almighty, i love that animation.
Wallhide is a terrible name... *sigh*
Where did the OP get these clips from?
Good Ol Days
The theme song makes me sleepy.
Carol Burnett was before my time. I was a huge fan of CBS TV when I was a child.

I was born while this show was on the air in '77.

The announcer sounds like the Price Is Right Johny Olsen
It's cast member Lyle Waggoner.
Mr. Lowe..thank you and nice to see you again with your tasty sponsor tags...delicious!
