Watching the Carol Burnett show used to be a family event on Saturday nights. I miss when TV actually had some shows on that were funny and worth a darn.

Tim Conway is a comedy genius (just like Carol and Harvey and Vicki) . . .
(these were always my favorite sketches):

I saw Harvey Korman and Tim Conway at the PAC in Tulsa several years ago. It was still funny to see Conway break Korman up every time. They did the Dentist Office sketch. It's still hilarious no matter how many times you've seen it.

I never was a fan but I have to admit, I loved the "cheap airlines" skit where Tim Conway had purchased cheap tickets to fly. Seat belts weren't included in the cheap seats.

The funny thing about this was that, from what I've read over the years, is that Korman was the more serious performer of the cast, apparently aspired to what some might term more "serious" acting although he was primarily cast in comedic roles, but was unable to keep his composure around Conway. Conway just had his number - knew the exact glance, expression, whatever, it took to break him up. His breakups were as funny if not funnier than the actual material they worked.

Saw Conway and Burnett on a guest bit on the Nick show "Hot in Cleveland," and it was fun to see him in a comedy role. Great old show. Miss it, and the era of TV it represented, where there was at least the illusion of an effort toward original, funny material, not just the trashy retreads and one-joke sex comedies that are so pervasive now.

Had the pleasure to see Harvey & Conway when they were here at the Civic Center a few years ago. Sadly Mr. Korman is gone now, but we still have Tim, Vickie & Carol..they all seem to be class acts.
