[1][2] The series was produced by Carol Burnett's husband, Joe Hamilton, and closely followed the format of The Carol Burnett Show — a small group of regulars performing comedy sketches, interspersed with musical numbers, and supplemented by occasional guest stars — in which Conway had thrived for several years.

[3] Unusually, the show's regular dance troupe, The Don Crichton Dancers (led by Crichton, the lead dancer on The Carol Burnett Show, and choreographer on its short-lived revival Carol Burnett & Company) was composed entirely of children between the ages of 8 and 13.

[1][2] Another portion of the show featured Tim recruiting members of the audience to join him onstage and perform sketches with him.

Ratings remained low, and in early 1981 Bert Berdis and Dick Orkin were dropped from the cast and Harvey Korman, with whom Conway had enjoyed an excellent comedic chemistry during sketches together on The Carol Burnett Show, joined the program as a co-host for the last several episodes.

In June 1981, CBS began broadcasting reruns of 30-minute episodes at 8:30 p.m. on Monday; these continued until August 31, 1981, when the show left the air for good.
