I don't think MTM was as physically funny as Lucy or Carol Burnett. I mean, everytime Carol Burnett stepped on to the Mama's Family set, after it had been spun-off, made the show 140% better. And Lucy was just a natural born clown. Even though according to this book I'm reading called "The Lucy Book", could be a real b*tch sometimes. Anyhoo, MTM's two shows were basically just cleverly written and always had top-notch actors.
