What a wonderful and fun show !

This here is some mighty-fine television friends! A great cast of actors and a parade of quirky and interesting guests kept things on a constant roll. The hilarious sketches and skits have humor coming from every direction and angle,there are laughs for every sense of humor! I honestly doubt even the angriest sourpuss type of person could go long without laughing while watching this ! Solid entertainment from true professionals make this show a real treat.

Funny Season 6 Finale
Jimmy_the_Gent45 April 2020
A production number opens the show with whole cast and dancers singing "Keep It In The Family".

At the Q&A, Carol announces this will be a "Family" show with just the regulars. She then presents VIcki with a gold record for her hit song "The Night That Lights Went Out In Georgia". A female fan wants a kiss from Lyle, so he comes out with a table, candle and wine to give it to her.

There is a very funny sketch about dolls coming to life. Carol and Harvey play version of Barbie and Ken and Lyle a parody of GI Joe. Vicki has the final big laugh as Betsy Wetsy.

The Ernie Flatt dancers as Hatfields and McCoys do a hoedown to "Dueling Banjos" (from the current movie "Deliverance").

Vicki and Lyle get a rare sketch to themselves as a couple of robbers who are running from the police, they duck into an X rated movie.

Carol and Harvey play two doctors who open an office and sing "Dem Bones" and a tribute to the elbow.

Then there is 'Rancid Harvest" an often hilarious spoof of "Ransom Harvest". Harvey plays amnesiac Ronald Colman character (he gets a lot of gags from the forgetfulness) and Carol is Greer Garson who tries to nurse him back to health. She has a funny scene singing "Pack Up Your Troubles" to patients in the hospital.

The final scene is a Charwoman sketch where she goes into Carol Burnett's dressing room and meets characters like Zelda, Chicquita and Nora Desmond. The show ends with her singing a longer version of the theme song and leaving an empty studio.
