Carol Burnett

I watched a special on PBS about Carol Burnett, how she became a star, her trials and tribulations, but mostly I was struck by her sincerity, her sense of timing when it comes to comedy. 

Her comedy was never about insulting others, it was all about humor.  Variety shows in the 70s were special -- and hers was top notch.  She created characters that were rich, that people could relate to, and that people loved.

You couldn't ask for better ---
why isn't TV like that any longer???
