I After a failed one-skit anthology series called Carol and Company (1990-1991), CBS attempted to simply reboot The Carol Burnett Show in its original format in 1991 for a total of 9 more episodes.

One of the show's more popular recurring sketches spun off into the sitcom Mama's Family. Jim Nabors (whom Burnett regarded as her 'lucky charm') appeared as the guest for the first episode of each and every season. The regular cast initially consisted of Burnett, Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Lyle Waggoner Tim Conway (who'd appeared numerous times as a guest) succeeded Waggoner in Season 8, while Dick Van Dyke replaced Korman for the 11th and final season.
