I would love to see Carol Burnett come back! Probably the best comedienne ever.

[Parley Baer]

The script reminds me of the movie Sunset Boulevard.

I like Carol Burnett, but when was the last time she did a show?

[Mike Darancette]

Sunset Boulevard meets the Brady Bunch. Great concept.

I loved Carol’s shows back in the 70’s and maybe 80’s, but I doubt if her brand of humor has mass appeal these days. If her brand of humor catches on, which would be great, I suspect the chances are greater if the star of the show was younger. Red Skelton and Red Buttons were very different kinds of comics, but they appealed to a certain group of generations who had experienced the similar events during their own lifetime.

I could be completely wrong. Donald Trump broke all the rules about how a 69 to 70 year old man is supposed to behave in public. Uncommon precedents are being set these days. Maybe there will be a sufficient audience for Carol and her comic team.

She’s too old. Old people aren’t funny

Could be good with decent writers

[GreenHornet]

In “Household Name,” produced by Amy Poehler, Burnett plays an eccentric, aging movie star who arranged to continue living in her old mansion even though the home’s new owners, a young family, have already moved in...

It sounds like it's based on her "Nora Desmond" character that she played on her variety show. If the right writers are working with her, it could be good.
