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.

Guests include Ross Martin and John Davidson.

Tim Conway and Pat Carroll guest star; Tim contributes in sketches as the Lone Ranger and as a man who lives a dog's life; Pat joins in on the latest Carol & Sis installment.

Carol's guests are Burt Reynolds and Nanette Fabray; they join the gang for a series of Carol's patented commercial parodies, and the late night adventure movie "The Lavender Pimpernel."

Bernadette Peters and Tim Conway guest star in a head-spinning installment of "As The Stomach Turns" spoofing "The Exorcist" in the process; Tim and Harvey play Japanese sailors in a tiny sub.
