Her humor is not timeless.

OP and a few others need to check out their childhood issues and get them settled before they lose every bit of their sense of humor.
Carol Burnett was and is timeless in her every single show over the past 40+ years. The fact that she du5b4g down and displayed mean spirited behavior, exposed it, then covered it over with humor is a testament in itself to the value of humor in all life.
Life is hard. Humor makes life bearable and good. -

I'm not a southerner and I never thought Carol Burnett was making fun of southerners. The Family sketches made fun of families and all the baggage that people carry around in relation to family members. Who else can drive you totally crazy except the people who know you best and know how to push all your buttons!
Whenever Mama would say something mean, both my mom and I would scream with laughter "That's Gram!" Mama reminded us so much of my grandmother. I swear they based the character on her. lol Both were cranky and very difficult to please and still, very funny. That's not a southern trait. It's a human trait. -

'I don't even think that Burnett was even the best talent on her show. Tim Conway and Harvey Korman were light years ahead of her'.
how come?
Carol had a way with line akin to Lucille ball and Mary Tyler Moore. It's not just the physical humor that Carol excelled at.
I question of certain users have even seem most of her shows.
The timeless quality depends on the sketch. -

Thank God it's only your opinion. And for the record, OP, IMO Clint Eastwood would've wiped the streets with Matt Dillon. An overweight, beer swilling town sheriff who spent 20 years trying to score an old hag like kitty without success is not a hero.
