The Carol Burnett Show (1967) - 11x06 - with Ken Berry and Dick Van Dyke- Followmy.tv

Long suffering Mr. Tudball (Tim) tries to paint the office in the opening sketch. He's doomed to fail, of course, because his clueless secretary, Mrs. Wiggins (Carol), is "helping" him. Although Mr. Tudball's wonderful sarcasm and Mrs. Wiggins' splendidly vacant remarks provide big laughs, the carefully built slapstick of such routines remind you how frequently The Carol Burnett Show would recall the glory days of silent comedy. Dick Van Dyke, no slouch at slapstick himself, believes he didn't quite fit into the show's chemistry when he replaced Harvey Korman as a regular in 1977. "Dick is hilarious," Tim says, "but, all of sudden, we were four funny people without a straight man". But dick often did fit in brilliantly, as he does in the mini musical "Stolen serenade," singing and dancing with Vicki Lawrence and guest star Ken Berry.
