Some of these season 11 episodes are available on DVD. The link below tells which season 11 episodes that are available that include "The Family" sketches.

There's one segment of "The Family" I would love to see again, more than anything! Its where they're playing Charades, and Mickey (Tim Conway) is attempting to imitate a siamise elephant. He has Carol, Vicki, and Dick Van Dyke in such stitches, they can barely speak their lines!

I believe its episode 11.7.

They were playing Password in the sketch you're taking about with the Siamese elephants. There is also another sketch with Conway and the family playing charades. There two separate sketches.

I have all of the season 11 episodes that are available plus 2 more that I recorded when I was little and they aired on TBS, I do have the final show.

But it's funny, some of the funniest shows come from the 11th season, including the Beach Blanket Bingo skit, AND the one where Conway tells about the elephants.

For the life of me I dunno WHY they don't make the siamese elephant sketch available on DVD, that is by far 1 of, if NOT the most classic Carol Burnett Show moment.

I vaguely do remember that sketch when I was younger watching the show, but it seems like a LOT of that was cut out, I don't remember them falling out on the floor like that.

But if I remember right it was very similar to the sketch where they play charades, I DO seem to remember Mickey came over for dinner and I want to say I remember him bringing over a bottle of scotch or SOMETHING like that, then after dinner they started playing Password. But the odd thing is, it seems like I also remember Harvey Korman being in the sketch too, I know Dick Van Dyke was but it seems like Harvey was also in it, maybe I'm merging it with the charades a little.

I am lucky enough to have the final show and yes I do think Harvey Korman came back, though he wasn't in any of the sketches I have from that show, I just have the Eunice and the Wiggins sketches from that show AND Carol's opening and closing monologues.

But Harvey did come out and hug Carol at the very end.

I'm not sure about Lyle Wagner though, I don't think he was there.

It seems they sorta ignore the fact Wagnor was ever on the show, in most of the specials he is never acknowledged.

The charades episode IS on DVD. It's on volume 29 from Columbia House and its on disc #13 of the Carol Burnett ultimate collection from StarVista/Time-Life. It's episode 7 from season 9.

Mickey and Ed are charades partners as is Mama and Eunice.

Dick Van Dyke's character and Mickey were in the Password sketch (siamese elephants) with Mama and Eunice but Ed was not in this one.

Do you happen to have that sketch or remember much about it? I'd LOVE to hear more about it, hopefully see it again some day.

Also another season 11 sketch I'm looking for is one where Carol is wearing a REALLY big curly blonde wig and it gets yanked off and she's wearing a dark wig under it, I remember it takes place in some sort of an office setting.

You can watch parts of the Password (Siamese elephants) sketch on YouTube.

The full charades sketch is also on YouTube.

I really dunno why this season is SOOO impossible to find now days. I know Korman was not in it but that's no reason it should be taken completly away!

I know seasons 5-11 have been shown in reruns, so I wish they would include season 11.

I mean there are other shows where one of the main characters leaves and they don't completly take the episode without the main character out of existence.

I mean the Jolene and Belle episodes of Alice are still shown even though when Flo left it took a downward turn.

It just sorta annoys me!! B/c I have a few season 11 episodes and they are really funny.

I know Korman was not in it but that's no reason it should be taken completly away! I know seasons 5-11 have been shown in reruns, so I wish they would include season 11. I mean there are other shows where one of the main characters leaves and they don't completly take the episode without the main character out of existence. I mean the Jolene and Belle episodes of Alice are still shown even though when Flo left it took a downward turn. It just sorta annoys me!! B/c I have a few season 11 episodes and they are really funny.
