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.

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 (five years ago) link
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

Yeah, Dukes was post-Smokey, pure Carter Country.

Dukes might have been part of the Prime Time Stunt Man Pension Plan, along with A-Team and The Fall Guy.
