The Carol Burnett Show: The Lost Episodes Season 6 Episode 1 Jim Nabors

The Carol Burnett Show was an American sketch comedy and variety television show that aired from 1967 to 1978. For its sixth season, the show kicked off with an episode titled "Jim Nabors." Jim Nabors was a popular singer and actor who frequently appeared on the show as a guest star.

The episode featured a range of sketches, musical numbers, and comedic bits. As with every episode of The Carol Burnett Show, the opening featured a musical number with Carol Burnett and the cast performing a song. This episode opened with the cast singing and dancing to "Lullaby of Broadway."

After the opening number, the show launched into its first sketch, which featured Jim Nabors. In this sketch, Nabors played a fisherman who had just caught a mermaid, played by Carol Burnett. The sketch was filled with witty banter and physical comedy, with Nabors and Burnett playing off each other's comedic timing.

The next sketch featured the hilarious character of Mama, played by Burnett. Mama was a recurring character on the show, and in this sketch, she gets into a heated argument with her daughter Eunice, played by Vicki Lawrence. The argument takes place at a restaurant, and the physical comedy of the scene is heightened by the fact that Mama is wearing a huge hat that keeps getting in the way.

Another standout sketch from this episode was a recurring bit called "The Old Folks." The sketch featured Burnett and Harvey Korman playing a bickering elderly couple who can barely hear each other. In this particular sketch, the couple is trying to figure out the lyrics to a song that their granddaughter is singing to them. The comedy in this sketch comes from the misheard lyrics and the hilarious banter between Burnett and Korman.

Of course, the episode wouldn't be complete without some musical numbers. Jim Nabors performed a couple of songs, including "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." Burnett also performed several musical numbers throughout the episode, including a duet with Nabors.

Overall, this episode of The Carol Burnett Show was a hilarious and entertaining start to its sixth season. Fans of the show would not be disappointed with the range of sketches and musical performances, and the comedic performances by Burnett, Nabors, and the rest of the cast were top-notch.
