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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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