Giveaway Contest: Enter to Win One of Three Copies of The Carol Burnett Show: Treasures From the Vault!

During the late-'60s, CBS was "The Carol Burnett Show" network, a joking reference based on the program's widespread popularity and huge ratings. Yet, the first five seasons have never resurfaced -- no reruns, streaming video, DVDs or other formats -- until now. In late 2015, the award-winning TV archivists at Time Life delivered the first home entertainment release from these early seasons with the LOST EPISODES, showcasing the earliest days of one of the most honored and beloved shows in television history, and the birth of a TV legend - unseen by the public in more than 40 years!

"Funny and lively as ever... a reminder of why Burnett
remains an inspiration for new generations of comedians"
-- The Los Angeles Times 
"This is what classic television is all about"
