All my life I wanted to make that dress with my mother. She passed away and I finally made the dress in her honor as she was paralyzed and could no longer sew in the last years. So when she died, I mourned her so much my sweet husband took me to Atlanta and I saw the original gown by Walter Plunket. After 2 hours of sketching, I finally made the gown. I showed it at the Washington State Fair and there was a glass case to display the gown, hat & purse in protection on a mannequin. I put a gold curtain rod in the case just for fun. I wondered if anyone would notice and know the skit after all these years. People would stop, laugh uncontrollably and go grab someone else and pull them over to see it. I won over 10,000 votes for People's Choice, Judge's choice, Sweepstakes Grand Prize and a Special Award for History. I was floored! I guess they still remembered.

it's genius, and a bit of relief in two ways. I know it's a dicey thing to judge a book or movie by modern day standards, but both Rhett's "hey, you destroyed my love for you" when he was just as cutting and dismissive as Scarlet, and how the slaves were depicted, is a bit creepy. So, watching him get a face slammed into his face, and Sissy shutting up the spoiled southern Belle, is just pure bliss.

So very true...especially back in those times, when saying the word "damn" was considered very shocking, and if it could be said, it had to be cleared by CBS executives, and they could only say it a certain number of times. (The Family sketches pushed that envelope the most...lol) So, when Carol cuts of Harvey from saying the word "damn," back in those times we all just assumed it wasn't allowed, because it really was rare. So when Vicki says it, it just blows that theory out of the water and makes it that much more hilarious!!

One of the documentaries made on the "Making of..." this skit pointed out something, which obviously was edited out of this. Bob Mackie said that in the hustle to get this parody ready--they had a week--none of the other actors saw the famous drapery dress before Carol stepped out on to the upstairs landing. Nearly all of the actors lost it. The audience laughed so long that the producers were worried about getting the commercials in before the thirty minute show time limit. The audience laughter set a record for the longest sustained laughter/applause in TV history up to that time, and it stood for decades. And you gotta love how Cissy/Prissy steals Rat/Rhett's famous last line of the real movie. "Frankly, my dear, I don't a damn." Pure comedy gold.

I'd love to know whether Carol's spoonerism when delivering her "I'll never be hungry again" speech -- "If I have to lie, steat, cheal, or kill" -- was scripted or genuinely accidental. Also -- HOW GREAT is the exchange between Carol and Vicki: "Cissie, show this Yankee the door." "Shoot, for three hundred dollars I'll show him anything he wants."? GREAT STUFF.

I of course saw this as a young tween when it first aired on TV. Me and my sister and mom were in tears from laughing so hard. I remembered the curtain rod scene but the other comic golden moments of this sketch are undoubtedly Vicky Lawrence just walking around and singing during Starlet's soliloqy and Carol's hilarious two slow tumbles down the stairs. I also always wondered if Tim Conway's bit about horse race betting was in the dialogue or if he as usual went off script and ad libbed that. Carol was an underrated physical comedienne because often what she does is subtle but brilliant and in character. I recently saw an old What's My Line clip with her as the secret guest where she disguised her voice (people often forget she was a well known Broadway actress before her comic breakthrough show) and she was so charming and funny at the same time.

“Stick your face in the punch bowl”! Dying laughing! My husband brought me most of The Carol Burnett Show on DVD-as he knew how much I missed my family (my WWII Hero Uncle married my mom’s oldest sister, one of her 10 siblings, and though they married for the first time later in life, my Uncle had a house built for my aunt & 7 female family members of aunts, mom, me & my sister-all the rest moved away, and we all moved in with them, and I am so grateful for those memories-especially after my most beloved Gramma died on my 11th birthday & mom died 12 years later on Christmas my Junior year of college) , and we just watched the same day of self-quarantine & Went with The Wind was on the first Disc. And believe me, unless there is an Eagles game on, my husband & I rarely watch TV together. He’ll watch my DVD of the Gilmore Girls entire 7 years of the series, plus the revival, so the few things we watch together other than our Eagles, Gilmore Girls, and all the DVD’s of the Dream Martin Variety Shows & the Roast, which my sister & I bought for my aunt & I luckily was the one to inherit them.

The audience laughed longer than that. They edited most of it out to fit the broadcast time slot. In an interview, Carol said that they did not tell anyone about the dress but had to tell Harvey so he would not break up when she started down the stairs. Only Carol, Harvey and Bob Mackie knew what she was going to wear.

It helped me understand the storyline of GWTW since I was too young to really get it when I watched it. It never really made sense to me. I just remember a party at the beginning, a baby being born in the middle, the city burning, then Scarlett eats some carrots and throws up. Like I said, it made no sense 😄
