Talk:The Carol Burnett Show/Archive 1

DVD
It is my understanding that the show itself is not on DVD, but the primetime specials from a few years ago are. Mike H 03:43, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)


 * According to Amazon, there are several VHS tapes of her shows/specials available.  &mdash; Frecklefoot | Talk 20:16, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)


 * I know about the VHS tapes. The way the article looked, though, made it sound like there are VHS and DVD copies of the seasons, which is false. Mike H 22:34, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)

Can anyone add information on why the seasons are not available for purchase and have not been re-aired on TV for a very long time? There must be an interesting story here. 71.84.14.102 (talk) 04:27, 2 April 2010 (UTC) Don

Ear tug
Can someone add any information about Carol Burnett's unique gesture of ending each show with a tug of her ear ... and what exactly that meant? That was the very reason I came to read this article, and I was surprised that there was no mention of it whatsoever. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 19:09, 22 September 2008 (UTC))
