Praise for her character...

If you missed American Masters "Carol Burnett: A Woman of Character" on WPT a few weeks back, the network is presenting an encore presentation of the entertaining documentary at 7 Monday night.

Outlining Burnett's long and illustrious career in television, stage and film, the program drew critical acclaim from news outlets around the United States. Be more Tuned In collected some of the media coverage and offers it below:

"By the end of "Carol Burnett: A Woman of Character," you'll want to give the actress a big fat hug. Not a pity hug, just a well-earned warm embrace."
-Matthew Gilbert
The Boston Globe

"You'll be so glad we had this time together, too, to have a laugh or sing a song. Or choke up with sentiment. Or roll on the floor helplessly to convulsive comedy."
-Diane Werts
Newsday

'Pardon the imitation of the thoroughly unlikable Andy Rooney, but why aren't our joke tellers likable anymore? Margaret Cho or Sarah Silverman might make you laugh... But the comedian you'd really want at the table, still, after all these years, is Carol Burnett."
-Neil Genzlinger
The New York Times

"Burnett's character sketches could be heartbreakingly human and hilarious at once: Picture the charwoman, alone in a building after hours, doing a striptease; the heartbroken lover singing 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix,' first in a car that won't start and, ultimately, on a tricycle."
-Joanne Ostrow
Denver Post

'The film is a complete valentine to Burnett, but how could it not be? Does anyone have a negative thing to say about her? Probably not."
-David Wiegand
San Francisco Chronicle

"It illustrates the value of zigging when everyone else is zagging. It demonstrates the importance of great material, whether it's a clever song or the funniest costume in the history of television - a send-up of Scarlett O'Hara's velvet-drapery dress with the curtain rod still attached. Most of all, it suggests that making a fool of yourself, whether by singing a love song to a bureaucrat or tripping noisily over the scenery, can be a very smart career move."
