HTML:"The great comedian [Carol Burnett] filled America's living rooms with pratfalls and Tarzan yells.... Carol Burnett's new memoir, In Such Good Company, captures this zaniness with relish. Written in Burnett's laughing voice, the book chronicles how she prepared her weekly dose of mayhem.... Resonating with Burnett's lively enthusiasm, In Such Good Company captures the excitement of being there once again, and it's a joyous addition to her earlier memoirs.". HTML:Kirkus Reviews. HTML:June 27, 2016 From 1967 to 1978, The Carol Burnett Show delighted television viewers of all ages from coast to coast. Now Burnett presents a look at her beloved variety hour. Though it may start with the show’s inauspicious beginnings (a forgotten clause in Burnett’s contract) and end with its star-studded finale, Burnett’s narrative is hardly chronological; instead, it resembles the conversational cadence of a relative reminiscing about the good old days. This is certainly a relatable approach, but it does lead Burnett to repeat details about her favorite stories. Nevertheless, Burnett’s fans will enjoy the wealth of knowledge as she reveals her close relationships with her crew, revisits highlights from audience q&a sessions, and shares anecdotes about the biggest stars of the 1960s and ’70s. Burnett watched every episode afresh to research this book, and that attention to detail shows in her exhaustive accounts of major sketches. However, even nonfans will enjoy the nuggets of intrigue Burnett scatters throughout, in which she shines a light on the sexism she faced during her tenure as a leading lady of the small screen..
