Think there might be a whole thread about Bleecker Bob’s behavior, or at least a good part of one.

Sorry, don’t think I watched too many of the 130 episodes of Mama’s Family, maybe none to completion. Impressed with the long list of guest star appearances on myriad non-Carol Burnett related shows.

So it’s mentioned that Mayberry R.F.D. was cancelled by CBS as part of the “rural purge.” I wonder how often Ken Berry and Roy Clark crossed paths.

Rural juror?

oh wait I see
Funny, I never really thought about any sort of rural purge, but yeah, I remember all those hillbilly shows. Dukes of Hazzard, too, I suppose.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 2 December 2018 15:40 (seven years ago)
Right made that Rural Juror joke myself. Think Dukes of Hazzard was later, when those shows started coming back, The New Wave of Rural Ruckus
― My Ital Rival (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 2 December 2018 15:50 (seven years ago)
Yeah, Dukes was post-Smokey, pure Carter Country.
― The Greta Van Gerwig (C. Grisso/McCain), Sunday, 2 December 2018 15:54 (seven years ago)
Dukes might have been part of the Prime Time Stunt Man Pension Plan, along with A-Team and The Fall Guy.
