* HeyItsThatGuy / RetroactiveRecognition:
** To put it simply, anybody ''with a pulse'' from 1967 to 1978 will have guest-starred on the show.
** Hell, even some of ''the audience members'' were (and are) recognizable. Modern viewers will likely find ''[[TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]]'' being in the audience rather hilarious.
** "A Special Evening with Carol Burnett": Eunice's psychiatrist will be familiar to ''[[TheGoldenGirls Golden Girls]]'' fans as the pyromaniac in the episode "'Twas the Nightmare Before Christmas".

* TheUnperson: Sort of. The fact that Dick Van Dyke was an actual cast member during the last years (replacing Harvey Korman) is rarely brought up in documentaries or behind the scenes specials, and said episodes rarely air in syndication. Mainly because many people felt those episodes [[SeasonalRot weren't very good]], and that Dyke had no real chemistry with Carol, Tim, or Vicky. Even Dyke himself [[OldShame looks back at his time on the show with regret and embarrassment.]] On the other hand, Dyke does remain good friends with Burnett.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The first five seasons of the series (1967-1972) are co-owned with Bob Banner, preventing them from subsequent syndication and home video releases. With Banner's death in 2011, the outcome of this looked uncertain, until Carol Burnett and Time/Life announced a 2015 DVD release of those seasons.

* ApprovalOfGod: Initially, viewers did not find the "Norma Desmond" sketches [[DudeNotFunny very funny]], and felt they were an insult to actress Gloria Swanson (whom the sketches were a parody of). Gloria Swanson though appeared in one episode explaining that she thought they were hilarious.

Added DiffLines:

* ActingForTwo: Many sketches would have Carol playing twins, usually to spoof films in which actresses like BetteDavis did the same. Examples include [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpPSayL19Ag "A Swiped Life"]] and [[Series/{{Columbo}} "Cobumble"]].
** One question period had Carol tell a childhood anecdote in which she actually pretended to be a set of twins, complete with changing of clothes, etc.

* ThrowItIn: The show would only do two takes a sketch, meaning even flubbed lines would get thrown in the broadcast.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In interviews, Tim Conway said that in the 80s he was offered a chance to star in a ''Mr. Tudball'' spin-off. He declined because he didn't see much potential for storylines, plus the fact that Carol would not be playing Miss Wiggins.

** The bulk of the musical numbers have not been seen since the original network airings due to licensing issues. Eventually, a DVD collector's edition of the show which includes the musical numbers was released by mail order offering only 2 episodes per $19.95 disc, the extra money going for the licensing.
