Correction to Jake's comment

Actually, Barbara had to cancel this show well before her car accident due to physical exhaustion and damage to her vocal cords. As variety shows go, this one was quite entertaining, although I'm sure it does seem lame to those used to the junk on TV today...

The Mandrell sisters wrote a lot of the material for this show based on actual experiences in their lives, which gave it a more legitimate air and made the show that much more credible.

This show was nominated for several awards, including a Golden Globe. It won several Music City News Awards. It would be great to have this show on DVD so that a new generation can experience the innocent humor of the Mandrell sisters, rather than the 'reality' TV garbage we are all exposed to nowadays.

And to those who 'swear' that the show was on until Barbara's car wreck, just do the math. The show ended in 1982; Barbara's car wreck was in 1984. Hmmmm, not rocket science.

Trivia
The 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 credits
During 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).
