7. I think last night's Bill Cosby special put me off of old comics

My husband talked me into watching the Cosby special on Comedy Central, because the New York Times had given it a good review.

I was kind of shocked: an hour and a half of being-chained-to-the-nagging-wife routine. I mean really, are we still stuck in the 70s? Take my wife ... please!

8. Burnett is different--and she dresses up nice, too

[monmouth3]

9. How she and Harvey kept it together for that scene is beyond me..n/t

[pinboy3niner]

10. Somehow they kept it together for that...

...but in other sketches Conway had a knack for making them lose it. As in this classic...

20. So glad we caught that last night

My wife was cracking up. She's a bit younger than me and never really got to see the classic stuff.

[malaise]

21. I was always a Carol Burnett fan but we were howling with laughter last night

It was fabulous - funny, funny, funny.

Truth is always way funnier than the ridiculous - this is still one of my favorites because I know that woman in several countries of the world.
