"The Carol Burnett Show: The Ultimate Collection" (Time Life)
This well-cultivated collection will make you smile as soon as you see the bright pink box and lift open the homage to the show's stage curtain. Inside you'll find a wealth of goodies, including 50 of the show's best episodes -- many chosen by Burnett -- on 22 discs. There's also more than three hours of bonus materials, including cast reunions; featurettes on the history of the seminal sketch-comedy series, the writers, and the show's famous movie spoofs; interviews with Tim Conway, Betty White, Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, Jerry Lewis, and Amy Poehler, among others; and, of course, the episodes, which include classic sketches like Mr. Tudball and Mrs. Wiggins, "The Family" (which led to the "Mama's Family" series) and the "Gone With the Wind" spoof "Went With the Wind!" with Burnett in her curtain-and-rod dress. For the Burnett superfan, Time Life is offering a limited autographed edition (only 300 available) of the set, signed by Burnett, Conway, and Lawrence, for $399.99.
