Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love Ratings & Reviews

Manuel FrangisApril 15, 2025
I just watched Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love, and I give it 4 out of 5 stars. This was such a warm and joyful tribute to a comedy legend. It is not your typical documentary. It is more of a celebration — a mix of live performances, interviews, and moments from Carol Burnett’s incredible career. It feels like one big thank-you note from Hollywood and fans to someone who has given decades of laughter. Carol Burnett is one of those names that just means something. Even if you did not grow up watching The Carol Burnett Show, you probably saw clips, parodies, or heard about her timing and her energy. This special does a great job of showing just how much of an impact she had on television, comedy, and the people who worked with her. You can feel the love in the room the entire time. The production itself is polished and classy. It has that award show kind of vibe, with people walking on stage to share stories, perform musical numbers, or introduce old clips. It jumps around a bit — from comedy to music to emotional moments — but it all flows together nicely. There is a live audience full of familiar faces, and seeing how excited everyone is to be part of the celebration makes it even better. What stood out to me most is the lineup of guests. Everyone from comedians and actors to singers and Broadway stars came to be part of this. You get appearances from legends and newer stars, all wanting to honor someone who paved the way. The mix of generations gives it a cool balance — you can tell Carol’s influence stretches across time. Some of the speeches are touching, others are funny, and a few are both at the same time. The musical numbers are fun, especially the ones that tie back to her variety show roots. It is not just about her acting and sketch comedy. It also reminds you how talented she is across the board. The show highlights just how many sides there are to her — not just as a performer but as someone who opened doors for women in comedy and helped shape the way TV works. The highlight for me, though, is Carol herself. Her reactions to everything, her laughs, her tears — it all feels so genuine. You can tell she is truly honored and maybe even a little overwhelmed. When she talks toward the end, it brings the whole thing together. She is still funny, still sharp, and still full of that charm that made her such a star in the first place. I give Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love 4 out of 5 stars because while it is not a deep documentary, it is a joyful and respectful celebration of someone who truly earned it. It is less about telling her full story and more about pausing to say thank you, and that part it absolutely nails. Overall Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love is a heartfelt, well made tribute to a legend who deserves every bit of the praise. It is funny, sweet, and full of love, and if you are a fan of classic TV or just want something feel-good, it is definitely worth watching.
