I got ahold of some 'best of Burnett' stuff and showed it to my kid (well, 30 year old kid). We had a blast. My god, I didn't know how adult some of that stuff was. I saw that originally as a kid and loved Tim Conway for the 'Oldest Man' and 'Mrs Ha-wiggins' sketches. I recently caught their send up of 'Valley of the Dolls' on YouTube. Comedy Gold.

Best of the best! Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, Carol Burnett and later, Vicky Lawrence ("Mama's Family"). Tim Conway was an incredible ad libber, and the rest of the cast could barely contain themselves. Like the famous "elephant" scene...
