The last stand of Vaudeville on American TV. It was brilliant and corny, simultaneously.

I remember a dueling guitar set between Roy Clark and Gatemouth Brown that was just awesome.

Ah, but...
[font face="arial narrow" size="2"]CBS brought back The Carol Burnett Show for another run in the fall of 1991; new regulars included Meagen Fay and Richard Kind (brought over from the NBC show), and Chris Barnes, Roger Kabler and Jessica Lundy. However, the times had changed and Burnett's humor, however hilarious and funny, seemed rather tame in the cutting edge flavor of the 1990s. As a result, the series failed to catch on with the public and only nine episodes of this revival were aired.[/font]
