The Carol Burnett Show: The Lost Episodes Season 10 Episode 7 Family Show

The Carol Burnett Show was a variety show that ran from 1967-1978 on CBS. The show starred Carol Burnett and a cast of regular performers, including Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Lyle Waggoner. Each episode featured a mix of comedy sketches, musical performances, and guest stars.

Season 10 episode 7, titled "Family Show," aired on November 24, 1976. The episode, as its name suggests, focused on family-themed sketches and comedy bits.

The show opened with Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence performing a parody of the then-popular TV show "Charlie's Angels." In this version, Burnett and Lawrence played two bickering sisters who are hired to solve a case for their boss, played by Tim Conway.

Following this sketch, Harvey Korman and Conway appeared in a segment entitled "Family Dinner." In this bit, Korman played a father who is trying to have a peaceful dinner with his family but is constantly interrupted by Conway's antics as the family dog.

The next sketch featured Lyle Waggoner as a man who is about to become a father for the first time. He visits a doctor, played by Burnett, who gives him some decidedly unhelpful advice on how to calm his nerves and prepare for the arrival of his child.

Later in the episode, Burnett and Lawrence appeared in a sketch as two mothers who are competing with each other to have the best-behaved children. The rivalry between the two escalates until they end up in a full-on brawl in the middle of a grocery store.

Musical guests on the episode included country singer Glen Campbell, who performed his hit song "Rhinestone Cowboy," and a medley of songs from the Broadway musical "Annie," performed by Burnett and Lawrence.

One of the highlights of the episode was a sketch featuring Burnett and Conway as two old-time movie stars who are appearing on a talk show. As they reminisce about their glory days, it becomes clear that they have very different memories of their past and their movies. The sketch is filled with clever wordplay and physical comedy, and was a fan favorite at the time.

Overall, "Family Show" was a typical episode of The Carol Burnett Show. It featured a mix of silly and clever comedy sketches, musical performances, and appearances by some of the biggest stars of the day. While not every bit was a hit, the episode was packed with laughs and entertainment from start to finish.
