Okay... no one else will answer these for me... hopefully someone will know even one of these....

Does she still live in Hawaii?
What are the lyrics to her John Foster Dulles song?
Are there DVD's of the Carol Burnett Show.?
Any background info of her recent husband? (married in 2001)

Anything would be helpful.

You won't find them on Overstock since they are out of print. The only places are Ebay and maybe from a markerplace seller on amazon.com

Brian Miller's IMDB page http://imdb.com/name/nm1025774/

Hope I helped in some way

JRfan · 05-27-2006, 10:08 PM

i guess i was thinking about Jim Nabors....and i had my world clock on my cell phone set to Hawaii so i would know what time she was in... huh... thanks for all your help!

PZelda · 05-30-2006, 12:39 AM

That is correct. The Columbia House TCBS DVDs are out of print now -- the higher the vol. # is, the harder it will be to locate it on eBay. Columbia House put out 31 volumes total (62 episodes all together). CH discontinued their TV-DVD library in the fall of 2005.

I have Volumes 1 - 19 from CH, but am missing Volume 12...I need to get a copy of that when I can.
