Good. But NOT the ultimate collection.
I think this 4 is a little high but a 3 would be too low - maybe 3 1/2 stars is right. I bought this because I idiotically thought this was the ULTIMATE collection - as it's called. To me, that meant this was the entire series - all 11 seasons - in one big box. It is not that. and that's what disappoints me. There are 50 shows in this box set. Considering that one season of television is generally 23-26 episodes, that means I bought roughly two seasons worth of shows. They are not in any particular order, so you can't say to yourself, okay, the next box set should be... Because they are all random episodes. For that reason, I won't be buying any more Carol Burnett Show box sets because how do I know I'm not buying duplicates? But the shows are indeed good. I watched maybe 3 or 4 shows, mad that I had spent $150 for two season's worth of shows, and didn't start laughing until I saw the "That's Hollywood 86" skit in which Carol plays a takeoff of Esther Williams. And then I couldn't stop laughing. All of the shows are wonderful. The quality of the DVDs is wonderful. I can repeat the "title" endlessly so it plays more than once. It comes with 20 hours of extras but I would have rather had 20 more hours of the show. Overall, I'm not disappointed. But I won't be trying to fill out the collection because I don't where the sets all stop and start, and I don't want to purchase duplicates.
