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.

Steve Lawrence steps into the Fred MacMurray role in a take-off on the classic noir film "Double Indemnity" here named "Double Calamity", with Carol in the femme fatale role.

The conclusion of the fifth season family show finale brings to a close the spoof, the Doily Sisters.

Guest: Maggie Smith.

A married country music singing duo announce their impending divorce; new regular Dick Van Dyke plays Ed's old Army buddy in "The Family"; two bumbling workmen install a plate-glass window in a boutique; guest Jim Nabors.
