- January 6, 1973
In season 6, episode 15 of The Carol Burnett Show, viewers are treated to a hilarious and unforgettable hour of comedy. The episode features two comedy legends, Jack Cassidy and Tim Conway.
The show opens with a classic musical number, featuring Carol Burnett and the entire cast singing and dancing to "The Boy from..." a medley of songs from various countries. As always, the choreography and costumes are top-notch, and the performers are in fine form. The opening number sets the tone for the rest of the show: silly, over-the-top, and thoroughly entertaining.
The first sketch of the evening features Jack Cassidy and Carol Burnett as a bickering couple having a dinner party. As they argue and insult each other, their guests (Tim Conway and Vicki Lawrence) try to keep the conversation from turning too sour. The sketch is a perfect showcase for Cassidy's sharp tongue and powerful voice, and Burnett's impeccable comedic timing.
Next up is a classic Tim Conway sketch, in which he plays an inept dentist. As always, Conway's physical comedy is hilarious, and his improvised dialogue keeps the audience in stitches. The sketch also features Burnett as his long-suffering patient, who becomes increasingly frustrated with his incompetence.
The third sketch of the evening is a parody of the classic courtroom drama, with Burnett playing the judge and Conway as the defendant. The sketch is full of puns and wordplay, and the actors milk every joke for maximum laughs. Cassidy and Lawrence also appear in the sketch, playing various characters in the courtroom.
The musical number for this episode is a fun and lively rendition of "When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love," featuring Cassidy and Lawrence. The two actors have great chemistry, and their voices complement each other perfectly.
The final sketch of the evening is another classic Conway bit, in which he plays a bumbling policeman trying to catch a thief (Cassidy). The sketch is full of slapstick and physical humor, with Conway stumbling and falling all over the stage. Cassidy is equally funny as the smug thief, who can't resist taunting his pursuer.
As always, the episode ends with a sing-along finale, featuring the entire cast performing "I Love to Singa" from the cartoon classic, "The Owl and the Pussycat." The cast members are clearly having a blast as they dance and sing together, and the energy is infectious.
