A Carol Burnett Christmas (2012 Video) User Reviews

Misleading title. Should be "Christmas with Garry Moore"

[lgarcia-meredith · 2/10 · 3 December 2018]

There is disappointingly little of Carol Burnett here. This DVD contains 3 Christmas episodes of the Garry Moore Show and hearkens back to the days of black & white television when the commercial ads were written into the show and white men would tell "midget" jokes or comments of the "take my wife" variety. Bizarrely, Lengendary Entertainment has blurred out and beeped over the product names in the first episode, but not in the rest. The vocals of Mahalia Jackson and Louise O'brien are absolutely worth watching, but much of the rest is rather plodding, including some forgettable dance numbers. There are a few good moments with people like Jonathan Winters and Bob Newhart, but calling this "A Carol Burnett Christmas" is absolutely false advertising.
