AMERICAN MASTERS | Carol Burnett:A Woman of Character | PBS

[bailinnumberguy]

The greatest female sketch comedienne of all time by 100 miles. Brilliant performer.

[DivineSorceress]

Carol Burnett was such an iconic person. She touched so many lives with her comedy. She made a lot of people laugh and forget their problems or lives for the hour that she was on. I remember watching her shows for the short time she was on at my age. I loved watching her. There will be no one else like her or her show. She's one of a kind.

Jeez, why did they include Boggy (Peter Bogdanovich) in it? He's about as close to what Carol and her co. did as a cat is to a bathtub... Anyhoooo, I would've killed to be in the audience when she was doing her show...except I wasn't born yet. The kind of stuff that Carol did was so timeless, so focused on quality. It'll never be that way again. The comedians of today, save for a few of the old ones, are not going to be remembered or revered in the way that Carol will be. Thank God she lived.

Does anyone know if the clip where she says "We had FACES" is on youtube?? If so what is the title of it?? Thanks

[homeichan]

[zinakane]

In our life time, there will never be another great comediene like Carol Burnett.

[cfronck]

We had FACES!

[itssandrewww]

There will never be another Carol Burnett. She remains my all time fav performer and I have met her on a few occassions.. She is exactly what you would hope: sincere, open and interested in what you have to say.

[kscmt]

Respect!

[showgurls]

I saw the whole thing. It was very good. I laughed and cried.

[okodravca]

Where is the rest?

[SasayakuYume]

I would love to see the entire thing, too bad it's nowhere around here.

[annastasia007]

It's terrible that we have no one today that has this dynamic comedic flair and talent such as the legendary Carol Burnett. Should we see someone in her likeness I will then turn on the tv again.

[KimLoveJulie]

Can I find the whole thing on YouTube somewhere?????

I Love her and maybe this is the special about her inn which her friend Julie Andrews also talks about her and i try to find this!!

[linnkristin94]

if you find, please tell me :)

[MuscleMaxZ1]

She's one of my favorites of all time...and that gentle smile at the end of the clip is SO moving...she's a class act all the way...

[franklinajohnson]

I love her as Nora Desmond!!!!!

[jook88]

me too! although i must say that her Eunice character is my favorite! ROFL!

[jook88]

oh, the very end was so depressing.....but shes just great, isn't she?

[Zylophila]

OOOOps!!! Sorry, didn't mean to click on the down thumb, I wanted to click the up thumb as I do agree with your statement.

[angeloflove]

she still is!!

[cameragirl008]

what does pipe dreams mean?

[ehcmier]

A metaphor about the hallucinations experienced by opium smokers. It means the idea seems wonderful, but it's not going to be a reality. But in this case, Carol's dream of getting into acting did become a reality, even though her mama and nanny didn't think so.

[Yesica1993]

She cracks me up and tears my heart out - all at the same time. What a wonderful lady. I wonder if this program is available on DVD? I would love to see the whole thing.

[brantdhill]

Thank God for "pipe dreams" - and their dreamers. We love you, Carol.

[doracatulla]

She's the best! ♥

[muscled57]

She is a national treasure. Being able to make people laugh for decades, what a marvelous human being. When I hear that there is no royalty in America, I can think of only two words in response. CAROL BURNETT.

[kayllo13]

this show is coming on at 4:30 on christmas day on PBS. im soo excited!!!!

[leftcoastskeptic]

This program on Carol Burnett was superb.

I highly recommend it. Bravo PBS. What a fantastic show on such a wonderful human being.

[austinkai11]

I like her best from Desperate Housewives as the step-mother from hell. That was a good role that she had.

[143AC]

Mrs.Burnett was wrong!

Her daughter did become a success

as a tradgetic comedy performer.
