I love Something's Gotta Give too, have watched it countless times

lately i have been watching carol burnett episodes on free PLUTO TV. they have an entire CB channel. i forgot how funny it was! i am so enjoying watching it.


 

@sunshine45   The episodes I like most are Carol playing a happy drunk, at home, The Family, and Mrs. Wiggins.  It is on everynight on MeTV, and the full hour on Decades every afternoon, PST.

There are so many.  I love The Geisha Boy with Jerry Lewis and a white bunny, so funny, and heartwarming with the little boy.

 

The original Out of Towners.  Mama's Family which was a tv series, always makes me laugh, not a movie though.

all of those you mentioned @mousiegirl  are great sketches! i particularly like watching via pluto tv because they show even the episodes from the 60s. there were some wonderful singing and dancing sequences that are so wonderful to watch.....and lots of old movie stars. i do also like when she asked the audience for questions. AND man, was lyle waggoner so good to look at! lol

@sunshine45    It seemed Carol thought the same of Lyle, lol.

 

The spin off of The Family is Mama's Family, love it, so I bought the entire tv series on dvd, never fails to make me laugh.  Carol was in most , if not all, of the first season, then left.

 

Decades runs the hour shows from the 60's, but I never remember to watch it, believe it is on at 3:00pm PST.

Mr. Blandiings Builds His Dream House  with Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and Melvin Douglas. I happen to love this movie because it's so well written, the acting is terrific and it's smart and funny.  The Thin Man Goes Home with William Powell and Myrna Loy is also a favorite. I bought them from Prime or you can rent them. 
If they like fun mysteries I recommend the Margaret Rutherford movies. 
MASH is also a great movie.
