The Carol Burnett Show will receive its long-awaited retail DVD release from Time Life on September 25.

The CBS series debuted in 1967 and ran for 11 years, receiving 25 Emmy Awards and five Golden Globes.

Time Life will be releasing the show in four different configurations: The Best of the Carol Burnett Show single DVD; The Best of the Carol Burnett Show, a 2-DVD set with 6 all-time classic episodes; The Carol Burnett Show–Carol’s Favorites, a 6-DVD set with 18 complete, unedited episodes; and The Carol Burnett Show Ultimate Collection, a 20-DVD boxed set with 50 episodes.

All configurations will feature bonus features, specially produced for this historic release, including a roundtable discussion with Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner, reminiscing about 11 years of fun and entertainment they created; a personal tribute from the cast honoring the much-beloved fellow cast member Harvey Korman; multiple featurettes on the history of the show, the genesis of key characters and sketches, Carol’s fans, and the influence Carol and the show have had on several generations of comedians and television hosts; and new and exclusive interviews with fellow entertainers and guests on the show, including Carl Reiner, Ken Berry, Betty White, Florence Henderson and others.

Carol Burnett, Tim Conway and Vicki Lawrence will make several national TV appearances to celebrate the DVD release of The Carol Burnett Show.
