Comedian and stage actress Carol Burnett, who first gained popularity during her stint on "The Gary Moore Show," hosted this one-hour variety series. Her talented supporting players included Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence (who got the job based on her resemblance to Burnett) and Lyle Waggoner. Skits often featured guest stars, such as Mama Cass of the Mamas and the Papas or singer Steve Lawrence. One sketch, "The Family" (which featured Lawrence as the persnickety Mama and Burnett as her hotheaded daughter) was later spun-off into it's own sitcom.

Carol's guests are Barbara McNair and Soupy Sales; Soupy and Carol play a pair of shoppers browsing samples of sexy cologne; Barbara joins the gang in a big musical production number.

Guest star Steve Lawrence plays the brilliant Russian director of a play put on by the P.T.A. and a hitman employed by Carol to take out her husband, played by Harvey.

Guests William Conrad and Isabel Sanford; a series of short television spoofs; featuring another installment of "Carol & Sis."

Carol brings on Lucille Ball, Eddie Albert, and Nancy Wilson; Albert drops in on Carol & Sis as Roger's new, health-nutty boss; all three appear on As The Stomach Turns.
