Carol, Vicki, Tim & Lyle coming to dvd

Got an email today stating that the ever-wonderful and always goofy Carol Burnett Show will be coming to dvd, via Time-Life on September 25th.

However, there is a slight catch. (isn't there always?)

It won't be released season by season like most tv shows. You'll have your choice of four different options.

1 - THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW—CAROL’S FAVORITES:, which features a 6-DVD set with 18 complete, unedited episodes featuring the most popular and funniest sketches and characters from the series. Included sketches are: Starlet O’Hara in “Went with the Wind”, The Family, Tudball & Wiggins, The Oldest Man and additional movie parodies. Also featured in this jam-packed set are guest appearances by Carl Reiner, Steve Martin, Betty White, George Carlin, Shirley MacLaine, The Jackson 5, and many more.

2- THE BEST OF THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW: this is a 2-DVD set with 6 all-time classic episodes chosen by Carol herself.

3- THE BEST OF THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW: a Single-DVD with “Went with the Wind,” classic sketches of The Family, Tudball & Wiggins, and others.

4- THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW ULTIMATE COLLECTION: This package is a 20-DVD boxed set with 50 episodes and more than ten hours of new, never-before-seen bonus features. The collection comes in a creatively-designed collector’s box.

All four choices will feature detailed and plentiful bonus features, specially produced for this release, including:

* A roundtable discussion with Carol, Tim, Vicki and Lyle, reminiscing about 11 years of fun and entertainment they created.

* A personal tribute from the cast honoring fellow cast member Harvey Korman.

* Multiple featurettes on the history of the show, the genesis of key characters and sketches, Carol’s fans, and the influence Carol and the show have had on several generations of comedians and television hosts.

* New and exclusive interviews with fellow entertainers and guests on the show, including Carl Reiner, Ken Berry, Betty White, Florence Henderson and others.


THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW debuted on CBS in 1967 and ran for 11 years, receiving 25 Emmy Awards and five Golden Globes.
