5.0 out of 5 stars From the final Burnett season: Guest stars galore!

Both shows were aired in March of 1978, the show's final season (sans Harvey Korman). But what a guest line-up!!
Show #1 has the irrepressible Steve Martin (at the height of his stand-up comedy popularity) & the very talented Betty White. The show starts off with another chapter of the ridiculous soap "As The Stomach Turns". This time, it has an extraterrestrial twist as they spoof "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"...complete with a doorbell chiming the familiar alien greeting & Steve Martin playing "Richard Dryface". Carol's daughter Vicki Lawrence returns with an alien baby (with antennae, no less!). And guess who's the father? Tim Conway, hilarious as a bulbous-headed, silver-skinned alien! Hysterical! Speaking of hysterical, Martin does a comedy routine...for dogs only, dredging up every old dog joke imaginable. The "Family" sketch returns as Eunice begs well-to-do & selfish sister Ellen (White) to take Mama (Lawrence) off her hands for good. There's a park bench sketch with Carol & Tim. Then, the shows wraps up with "Beach Blanket Boo-Boo", a funny-cheesy musical-comedy tribute to all those funny-cheesy 60's beach party movies.
Show #2 has not two but three great guests. James Garner, George Carlin & returning guest Ken Berry make for a diversely entertaining show. Included: A sketch about group therapy which comes completely unraveled; Carlin pitching an irreverent off-the-wall offer ("Every Song Made Collection"); Berry & Lawrence in a song & dance bit; Carol & Garner as lovers saying an absurdly "long goodbye"; Carlin as a dental patient at the mercy of the assistant (his bitter ex-wife); and a musical finale with "street musicians" Carol & Berry. A recurring sketch throughout the show has a long-suffering construction worker (Conway) finding different ways to murder his annoying pinhead of a wife (Carol)...and each one backfires hilariously.
With the passing of comedy legend Carlin, plus the wonderful range of guest talent, this volume is a definite keeper!

Carol Burnett can sing, dance, do drama or do comedy. She and her regular co stars are "the bomb", especially in the "Family" sketch featuring Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman and Carol as a working class southern family trying to play Charades. The fabulous Pointer Sisters (Ruth, Anita, Bonnie & June) sing their #1 R&B hit How Long (Betcha Got A Chick On The Side), play a straight-laced vocal group facing off a super hip radio DJ and join Carol and her female chorus in a rousing gospel version of "Get Me To The Church On Time" from the musical "My Fair Lady". With Carol and the Pointers, you can't go wrong!!!!
