The Carol Burnett Show (1967) - 10x01 with Jim Nabors

The tradition at The Carol Burnett Show (CBS, 1967-78) was for Carol's "special buddy" Jim Nabors to appear in the first episode of each season. This 10th-season opener teams the former Gomer Pyle star with Carol for a rendition of "The Rain in Spain" that harkens back to his very first appearance on the long-running variety show. He then joins the entire cast for a satire on the soap satire Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman (featuring Carol's pig-tail perfect impression of Louise Lasser) and the "Shipwreck in Tahiti" musical number. Another highlight is one of the finest "Family" sketches, with Eunice (Carol), Ed (Harvey Korman) and Mama (Vicki Lawrence) sitting down for a "friendly" game of Monopoly. Carol's Eunice reveals a lifetime of disappointment and resentment between Baltic Avenue and Boardwalk.

Having recently watched Mary Hartman Mary Hartman on DVD after not having seen it for at least 30 years, I can truly say that they really captured the spirit of the show in the Mary Mary Quite Contrary, Mary Mary Quite Contrary spoof in this episode.
