If you're a Carol Burnett fan, you will undoubtedly enjoy her newest book In Such Good Company (#610) reminiscing about The Carol Burnett Show, which ran for eleven years. If you were a regular viewer of the program, you'll remember many of the anecdotes she relates about sketches and guest stars and regulars Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman and Tim Conway. with glimpses of what was going on behind the scenes.
This book is a fast and easy stroll down Memory Lane, as well as an enjoyable one. Who could ever forget the iconic Went With the Wind sketch with the infamous curtain rod dress? Ms. Burnett reveals details of what led to one of the funniest moments on TV.
In Such Good Company did make me nostalgic for the days when such high quality entertainment was a staple on TV, minus the guns, gore, sex and crude language that's so prevalent in most shows today. I suppose we'll never see those days again, but it is comforting to know that you can still enjoy Miss Burnett's unique brand of humor,song and dance on DVD and YouTube...
I'm so glad we had this time together In Such Good Company!
