Been watching. Carol Burnett Perry Mason and Matlock for years love Me Tv
11/15
12/15 - She was funny in virtually every skit on her show and even offered some levity to The Twilight Zone in her lone appearance of that classic series clearly not known for comedy
14/15! I thought she never guess starred on Momma's Family, I was wrong!
Looks like you're the newest member of the 14/15 club - just need one more for an even dozen. I couldn't quite reach those heights
Didn't really watch much of Mama's Family, only on Carol Burnette show.

14 out of 15...."I'm so glad we had this time together...." 😉
4/15 it's almost as if i exist in another universe apart and away from Ms. Burnett.
I wonder if I’m the only one that couldn’t stand Carol Burnett! I didn’t take the quiz and I think I would’ve done worse than you!
Racking up my brain
15/15. The answers were obvious.
14/15. Missed the Toy Story question.
Same here, but all the rest correct, like youself....YAY!!!!!
9/15 ... I don’t know much outside of TCBS
15/15. Most were easy, having read her wonderful autobiography, but a couple were educated guesses. I never saw the Magnum episodes in question but figured if she'd fit with any detective show, that'd be the one. 🙂
9/15
There's one part of her career that the quiz didn't mention and that even Carol herself rarely talks about. In 1957, before her first Ed Sullivan appearance (on the same night that Elvis did his 'waist-up' performance), she appeared in the short-lived sitcom where she played Buddy Hackett's girlfriend Celia. This show had been lost for many years but can now be seen on YouTube and on here:
