The Carol Burnett Show (1967–1978)
1/10
Guess it's a generational thing

I can't believe there's only one other 1 star review besides mine. Am I missing something??? This show is so unfunny that I leave the room every time it comes on (before that it's Hogan's Heroes, which is also equally dumb, but still kind of watchable. I went a long time not even being able to figure out what it was about, and now that I do, I feel bad for laughing, because it pretty much trivialized WWII by spoofing the Nazis). When The Carol Burnett Show's opening credits start rolling that's when I'm like welp, time to go. I can't imagine anyone under 50 laughing at the jokes. The humor is so dated. All of their skits looked awkward. It might not even be a generational thing, because I'm a young adult, but I love old movies and TV shows. But it seems like TCBS is one of those things that you had to exist at that time to enjoy. Like unless you have memories of watching this on the living room floor as a kid, it won't resonate with you. Because it's not contemporary. It's crazy this stayed on until 1978, when variety shows had lost their popularity. I have no problem laughing to the point of tears - and I know everyone doesn't have that ability - so if something doesn't make me laugh on that level, it's not worth my time.
