B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Carol Burnett into the ol’ VCR.

I feel like this might be one of the least surprising things I’ve ever written, but I’ve looked up to Carol Burnett since I was a child. I grew up watching reruns of The Carol Burnett Show. 

In my opinion, she and Lucille Ball are two of the greatest comedians of the 20th century. 

I watched Annie a million times to watch her bring Miss Hannigan to life.  

There are obviously sketches and material that didn’t age well. As always, I’m not here to put people on pedestals. 

But, for a girl who didn’t always fit in, especially in elementary and middle school, Carol Burnett showed me it was okay to be funny. And humor is an excellent way to cope. 

Additionally, watching one of the first shows of its kind to be hosted by a woman really showed me how badass women are. 

Carol, I know there is absolutely no chance you’ll ever read this, but if you do, thank you. 

Really. 

Alrighty, I can’t say anything else that hasn’t already been said. 

Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Carol Burnett content: 

• Annie (1982) 
• Post Grad
• Palm Royale 
• Calamity Jane 
• Better Call Saul 
• The Carol Burnett Show (duh)
