The sublime originality of Bobbie Gentry's, Sweet Peony, is still timeless and fresh in 2022.

After Carol tricked Harvey and he laughed, he also hugged her and kissed her cheek. I've seen the whole scene before but most of the time its cut. Such a warm moment, I wish they wouldn't edit these episodes so heavily.

One of the greatest shows ever

I absolutely love this one! It shows how well those folks worked together, laughed together, and just had a great time at work.

Carol had Bobbie Gentry on a few times... I think her singing career was sadly all but over by the early 80s, having gotten her fill of stardom.

Love this show always did used to watch The Originals a lot of fun watching the reruns now

Harvey Korman was so so good wasn’t he?

Harvey could play any character the talented writers on this show could come up with. He was so incredibly talented, I really don't think he knew just how wonderful he was.....but we certainly did!

Carol looks stunning in this outfit

The best classic and wonderful sketch ever! 😊❤👏🏼

Such a great episode. My favorite part was Bobbie's performance of "Sweet Peony". Such a well-written song that was composed by Bobbie and I loved seeing the early stages of her dance routines.

Its great!!! So many people on here commenting that they don't like it. I bet they think Bette Midler can sing, 🤣 . Bobby is great!

That last # was just incredibly original and enchanting.!!!! Kudos to those talented dancers and a superb orchestration.!!!!!

That was so fun. Thank you so much for posting these videos. I look forward to each one!

Carol's dress is amazing!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

Just imagine if interview style shows would've been invented in those times 😂

Great Golden Times

Great dance number!

Really great shows ,excellent comical acting great sketches and the music off the hook❤❤❤💯💯💯

Carol looked absolutely gorgeous on the show. She had a very nice figure.

Ernie Flatt was so creative in these early seasons.

What a beautiful sliver gown she wore in the opening. Actually it was very wide legged “pants”. Stunning.

Wonderful episode.

Its pretty good

Loved 😍 this show ❤

Love that outfit in her intro! She had great taste in everything she did.

Great!!! 🙂👍

I forgot about the guests signing the book at the end. I wonder if it still exists?

Good👍🏼

Bonita perfecta😄💪😍

Very similar to the dress (and hairstyle) worn by Ellen Burstyn in the Exorcist during the party scene where Reagan says to Burke Demmings you're gonna die upstairs and later Chris MacNeil gives Reagan a bath while wearing the silver dress with same hairstyle that Carol Burnett also wears.

I've done her recipe. It's pretty good.

Well you obviously got it out of a cookbook or video. Lol.

I don't agree with the criticisms in this thread of "Sweete Peony." Bobbie did lip-synch the first part of it to the "Local Gentry" album version of the song, but then it switched to a live version with the band and the choreographed dancing. When that happened, her mic must have been turned down too low, but that's not her fault. Overall, it was a good performance of an underrated song in her catalog.

There are trolls everywhere and I learned to ignore them as they are miserable humans who attempt to bring successful people down. But I don't see the widespread criticism you mention. I see one troll and his post is at the bottom because it was down-voted so many times. People knowledgeable about music know how good that song is.

Bobbie Gentry was huge discovery for me 6 months ago when I saw her on Carol's. Even the 1970s movie based on her famous song was great, I'd never watch it if I didn't google her great song which is now proud adage to my mp3 playlist. Carol is uninterrupted open archive of pop culture history to explore. Window sketch from this episode must have been inspiration for In living color's Ms Jenksin sketch.

I'm only here because of the Micheal Jackson meme LMAO

Bobbi Gentry's solo was appallingly bad! Her voice was so weak that she could hardly be heard, and she sounded like she was half asleep. The song was repetitious and banal. This was a TERRIBLE performance that should have been cut from the show. Just awful!

Didn't appreciate the politics?? You mean where they talked about what a racist George Wallace was? That's not politics, that's history. Wow, thank you for admitting that you're stupid enough to vote for Donald Trump. I can spot you people 10 miles away.

Let’s face it, the George Gobels schtick when he came out onstage is way too campy and old fashioned to make us laugh in 2022 or 1968. The guy needs therapy, hello. Even Carol couldnt save it…such a weird sense of humor he had. Not funny, in my opinion…this episode is a real stinker, to be honest except for Bobby Gentry in the apricot bellbottoms, fake playing the guitar and gurgling God knows what, but those dancers and the band are EVERYTHING. And the neighbors sketch makes up for all of it. Ha. But OUCH on the joke about South Korea! Times have changed. The work in this episode is verrrrrrry rough around the edges like Laugh In was. Fun to watch, and very campy.
