Featured review
I so wish they would offer the show for streaming on one of the various sites in the business of being providers today. The idea that, at the moment and still up to this date, the show and all it's episodes not being made available for my generation, my parents generation and any others who would find they like it is just sad. Having the talent and great effort put into shows designed to simply entertain and find you admiring people who could pull off vocals without autotune, simple comedy and what was more about you enjoying yourself and having a few laughs is still sitting on a shelf somewhere and not made available to many who could use the spirit lifting simplicity of what family tv was before tv needed ratings and disclosures. I wish they would make all these variety shows of the 70's-80's available for viewing since I, for one, would greatly enjoy the choice.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe series got very good ratings during its entire two-year run. The only reason that it was canceled was because star and hostess Barbara Mandrell was suffering from exhaustion.
- Quotes
Dolly Parton: [Barbara is impersonating Dolly Parton as the real Dolly Parton enters on stage from behind] What have you got in there, your sisters?
- Crazy creditsDuring the closing credits of a 1981 episode, where Barbara is riding a mechanical bull in the background, the TV series' hair stylist Monique DeSart is credited as "Monique DeFart." The credits were rolling at a faster-than-usual speed (most likely because of said credit), so one was not supposed to blink or they would miss that controversial credit (Ms. DeSart's surname was restored to normal - as well as the closing credits rolling at a normal speed - in succeeding episodes).
