For a while I have been watching a tremendous amount of the lovely Carol Burnett. She is just hilarious I would even go as far as saying that I prefer her show to the also amazing and lovely, Lucille Ball's "I Love Lucy" (but only slightly). I found out about this show when I was looking up facts about Gone With The Wind on imdb and they said that this show did a parody of GWTW and this interested me because no modern show would do this so I presumed it to be an older show. I then watched the parody and fell in love. She parodies a lot of classic films like National Velvet, The Heiress, Babes In Arms and Rebecca. The show was made in the 1960's and went through to the 1970's and never lost any of it comedy. They do other sketches besides classic films which are genius. Carol Burnett is the queen of comedy and the show was very popular when it aired but now I feel that a lot of people haven't heard about her and they need to see this show just to keep its memory alive and see what real comedy is.
