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.

Ed prepares to leave on an out-of-town trip, but Eunice and Mickey want to come along; Harvey and Carol can't stop making little digs at each other.

A spoof of "Mary Hartmann, Mary Hartmann"; a game of Monopoly with the family; Jim Nabors sings "Let Me Be There."

Roddy McDowall guest stars; highlights include Roddy joining The Family for a reunion where Mama and the rest are unimpressed by his success, and a "Brief Encounter" with briefer dialogue.

Tim Conway plays The Oldest Galley Slave, an ad exec paying a visit on actress Nora Desmond, and a lawyer who happens to be a rabbit.
