They also didn't want or need to be overly provocative, obscene, vulgar, hyper-sexualized, or explicit. They generally dressed modestly, the way most regular people do in public, and they didn't make sex their main theme or a large chunk of their run time, whereas it feels like most shows do now. I'm a grown woman and I have no problem with sex or intimacy. That being said, it doesn't need to be inserted EVERYWHERE, and I don't want to watch half or fully nude people going at it at least once in every episode of a show, or more than once in any given movie, unless it's MEANT to be the main theme/topic of that show or movie, or it is somehow necessary in understanding the story or moving the story forward. Anymore it feels like at least 1/3 to 1/2 of all shows aimed at adults are too heavily focused on sex/nudity from what they have the actors/actresses wear, certain scenes they include, and even some of the downright absolutely vulgar dialogue. Sex scenes have just become too long and too frequent, and truth be told, you could remove all heavy and/or explicit sex scenes from about 80% of the shows and movies that include them and it would have ABSOLUTELY ZERO EFFECT on the plot, the audience's understanding of and ability to follow the story, or the overall watchability or quality of said show/movie. Honestly, I think removing a lot of those unnecessary scenes and dialogues would actually IMPROVE the watchability and quality of a lot of them. I have a couple of theories (other than the whole "sex sells" thing) for why these things seem to be inserted into almost everything anymore, but I won't bore everyone with all of those. Instead I will just share my top 2: A.) They just put it in as filler to achieve the necessary run time because they're too lazy or not creative enough to come up with anything else to put in there; or B.) They either entirely lack, or feel they are not getting enough, sex in their own personal lives, so they get it vicariously via the content they create. That's just my opinion though, and I'm just another random nobody on the internet, so what do I know? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Tim Conway was quite unpredictable, which is often what good comedy is. We all certainly need a good laugh these days.

Tim, showing his absolute talent, to capture the best moment to “break” Harvey every time 😅. The gold is In watching Harvey tries so hard to maintain his composure and professionalism , and failing 😂

There is nothing better than the sound of real audience laughter. You can only find on these classic shows.

My wife and I saw Harvey Korman and Tim Conway in the 90s at a comedy show they were touring in Houston. They did the Dentist Sketch and it was every bit as funny as here. Glad we got to see them live.

The Dentist is got to be one of the greatest skits next to the Gone with the wind skits(Curtain dress).How come we can’t get shows like this anymore?Varity show we’re the normal for 60s and 70s.Nothing but crap now ,nothing but sex, violence or BS shows

Vicki usually played the airheaded kid sister and other Valley Girl-type characters until Mama came along. That's when she really came into her own and became a major player on the show. The character earned Vicki her own sitcom that ran for several seasons.

porflepopnecker4376, Vicki putting three very experienced and top notch actors on the floor, or curled up on the couch with laughter didn't hurt her reputation one bit either. As Carol explained it, up to that point Vicki considered herself the "New kid" and not having enough experience to try and go after stars like Tim. But after putting Dick Vandyke and Tim Conway on the floor, and Carol curled up in the corner of the couch, Vicki realized that everybody was fair game.

Ahhhh, when comedy was fun. They were a perfect group of comedians for that time. Tim Conway was awesome.

The cast was so, so talented, especially Tim Conway who mastered the art of physical comedy.

The Dentist was probably the funniest skit ever performed on Television . Pure gold

Never any swearing or crude joke. We we’re rolling on the floor laughing. Vicky Lawrence had great timing.

Everybody beside Tim Conway in this scene is struggling to keep from laughing. This is so hilarious 😂😂

I've heard carol Burnett' say the dentist scetch with Harvey Korman and tim Conway that Harvey was laughing so hard he wet his pants!

@@timsullivan4687 yeah, they would record each show twice. The "Dress Rehearsal" (I think they used a different term), and a live show in front of a studio audience later in the day. They would use the first recording as a back up incase they didn't get a decent take during the live show. The cast was more inclined to pull antics like this during the live show as long as they had a clean recording from earlier.

The laughing during the live performance definitely made this show more hilarious

That show had THE BEST WRITERS, THE BEST CAST, and THE BEST GUEST STARS!!! It was the complete package of comedy

Best part of Ms. Burnett's program were these rehearsal breakups!! Laugh till you cry!! Classics forever!

The entire cast was unbelievable...they worked together so well. They play on each other...THERE WILL NEVER be this kind of talent in television again. I guarantee......

harvey really did try to keep it straight, and he would get so pissed off at himself, due to the fact that tim would get harvey to go sideways in a matter of seconds. the other cast members would take bets on how long it would take harvey to loose it. all it would take is tim to give harvey a goofy look, or go off script.

Carol Burnett show was my absolute FAVORITE show growing up in the 70’s…I couldn’t wait until Saturday night to watch it. RIP to the late great Tim Conway & Harvey Korman. 🙏🏾😇🙏🏾

How we loved it when they'd break character. That was the best part. They'd try to outdo each other & we were blessed to be present to watch them. It was a joy!

I clicked on this thinking "I wonder if the can still make me laugh?" I had tears in my eyes within the first 15 seconds!

This by far is still the funniest show on TV. All hail Carol Burnett and her friends 🤣🤣

This is what made watching her show more fun to watch than anyone else’s.

"Molly, why don't we have another kid..." --- Carol was hit outta nowhere with that one, never saw it coming 🤣

I watched this with my mom and aunt as a kid and laughed. As an adult this is timeless classic comedy. The likes we will never see again. Simply priceless

One of the funniest teams ever. And Conway one of the best physical comedic actors ever.

Conway and Korman had an ongoing bet to see who could break the other. Conway always won.

Does anyone think it's a coincidence that these folks all lived to such old ages??? They were full of joy and loved to laugh and there is a definite link between longevity and these qualities. They had such fun making this show and I'm certain it was the best time of their lives!

This is SO much funnier than what I have seen in the last 30 years. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST. This cast is AMAZING, but there is truly something special about Tim Conaway!

THE REASON THESE SHOWS WERE SO FUNNY IS THAT THEY WERE IN FRONT OF A REAL LIVE AUDIUNCE. NOT A LAUGHING MACHINE, DOING 5 TAKES PER SCENE. THIS IS REAL TALENT. THE FUNNIEST CREW EVER. SO WAS ROWAN AND MARTINS LAUGHIN.

Oh, why why why did they have to grow old and die!? 😭😭😭😭 They were áll só good/funny!!! I’ve seen these scenes só many times and find it hilarious every single time!!! I love you all só much!!! RIP Tim and Harvey!! 🥲❤️❤️❤️❤️

I remember watching Carol Burnette as a kid and it was the first time I ever laughed so hard I couldn't breathe...me, mom and dad in utter tears. I miss them so much.(Conway and Korman) It was my intro into good comedy and breaking character was the best part. It was hard for this bunch to get through a skit with out it. So much fun.
