Synopsis
This ninth season episode features several of the show's best-loved recurring characters. There is a "Family" skit with Ed (Harvey Korman) agreeing to take Mickey (Tim Conway) to a hardware exhibition, then trying to keep it a secret from Eunice (Carol) and Mama (Vicki Lawrence). Then there's a sketch with Tim's long-suffering Mr. Tudball trying to wish Carol's ever-vacant Mrs. Wiggins a happy birthday. And the grand finale features Carol's Charwoman remembering back on the season, so glad that "we had this time together." Other highlights include the "Baby Face" number, with everyone dressed in children's clothing, and "The Digs," a sketch with Carol and Harvey as couple that can't help tearing things apart and tearing into each other. The irony is that few television shows boasted a happier family than The Carol Burnett Show.
