The Carol Burnett Show (1977)

Starring Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman.

This show ran for over 250 episodes, including one where Carol duets in a medley of popular movie themes with Eydie Gorme. At the end of the 10 minute segment, they suddenly transport from the soundstage to the base of the Hollywood Sign, singing their final notes as a helicopter shot pulls away to reveal the whole mountainside. The Sign shows its considerable wear: graffiti, patchy paint, and missing sections are clearly visible. A fascinating time capsule, as this was less than a year before the Sign was reconstructed in 1978.
