I like predictable tv shows
Colombo always followed the perpetrator
In Death in Paradise the inspectors solve every case
Someone on the stand confesses in every Perry Mason episode
Harvey Korman always falls on his butt on the Carol Burnett Show
No matter who the Equalizer is, he or she fixes everything for a good guy
John Wayne always beat the bad guys in every movie
Until The Cowboys when he was murdered by Bruce Dern
I never liked Bruce Dern after that
And I never watched another John Wayne movie
I like predictable movies too

How about Carol wears the curtain rods?
That would be hysterical.
No one else got it.
But I am Harvey Korman and I have some say.
Most popular episode in history.
Even Vicky is not as popular unless she is mama.
Vicky as Carol's mama is hilarious.
This show gets better every second.
Then we grab up Tim Conway.
I have never laughed so hard in all my life.
He cracks me up totally.
And we are in front of a live audience!
My days on earth were the best.
Carol Burnett could fall down better than anyone
And get more laughs with just a glance than
All the rest of us put together.

(Dedicated to Harvey Korman who died May 29, 2008.)
I watched Harvey Korman on the Carol Burnett show.;
That fantastic program was made many years ago.
People all over the world loved to see him act.
He's gone now and nothing can bring him back.
He guest starred on the Munsters once or twice.
We are saying goodbye to this man who was nice.
We've lost this man who was very funny.
Without Korman, the world is less sunny.
He died at the age of eighty-one.
I'm sorry that we lost MR. Korman.
