Those were the best Friday nights. It was Incredible Hulk, Dukes, then Dallas. Then Dukes, Dallas, then Falcon Crest.

Yep. At 6:00 or 6:30. I’m trying to remember if Lawrence Welk came on before or after. I HATED Lawrence Welk.

And now the confederate flag is verboten.

Loved that show. Rolled right into Dallas.

I learned that rural Georgia is hilly and arid by watching that show.

I haven’t seen John in about 5 years now, but I’ll be damned if he didn’t age like fine wine.

There was a hole in the wall country bar here and the leader of the band looked and sounded just like Waylon. RIP Richard.B.

777 you should revisit it. Still holds up and is endlessly entertaining.

I started watching The Fall Guy on Prime, they have the entire series. Solid, lots of 80s hotties, and just a fun show. I was a little too young to watch it at the time.

We used to call Luther Fletcher the Principal of H.L. Bourgeois in the 80's Boss Hogg. He would dress up like him for Home Coming and things like that.

Waylon Jennings was once the bassist for Buddy Holly. While on tour during a snow storm, the tour bus was having problems, so Buddy Holly chartered a small plane for his band to get to the next show. Jennings gave up his seat for another tour headliner, The Big Bopper, who had the flu. (Holly guitarist, Tommy Allsup, lost his seat to singer Ritchie Valens in a coin toss).

Buddy Holly learned Waylon was gonna wait on the bus to be fixed, Holly joked, "Well, I hope your old bus freezes up again." Waylon joked back, "Well, I hope your plane crashes."

The plane crashed, killing Holly (22), Bopper (28) & Valens (17). Waylon said he never got over telling Holly that and was riddled with guilt for years which contributed to his substance abuse struggles.
