I remember some Roy and Dale show but I think they were reruns and I was very little. if Gene or Roy and Dale were in I did it miss it. Didn’t Dolly have a show at one time or were those just holiday specials? I seem to remember Glen Clampbell had a short lived show as well but my memory might be mixing up shows.

I remember a Dolly show, tho she might've been a regular on Porter Waggoner's show.
I'm pretty sure Glen Campbell had his own show, as did Johnny Cash. A lot of C&W players had shows of their own. Marty Stewart's is excellent.
Little Ricky Nelson started playing music on Ozzie & Harriet, their family show. Ozzie had been a big band leader in his earlier life.
I watched the Roy Rogers Show as a kid. He and Dale always finished up with "Happy Trails". Don't forget, Roy was in the Sons of the Pioneers, as was Ken Curtis who played Festus on Gunsmoke. Roy and Ken were both in some John Wayne movies, and Rick Nelsson was in one as well.

Rio Bravo just watched it and it is still one of my favorites! Love Roy’s shows but prefered Gene’s!

The crazy thing about the Roy Roger show was the way they were in the "Old West" and carried six shooters and such but had electricity and a guy driving around in a Jeep. The dichotomy was surreal. Sky King was similar.
At least Cisco and Pancho and Zorro kept it real.

You can still find reruns of "I Love Lucy".
Like Mick Dundee remarked, "Same thing was on the last time I saw a TV."
Happily, BBC America still has Monty Python reruns late night/early AM.

“Gretsch Pages Down” sounds like the title to a movie.

Not long after I joining the GDP I remember finding a thread started by Tavo that was already over 60 pages deep. It had run for a couple of years off and on. It didn't take much of a push to get it going again and squeaking another 60 pages or so out of it. The Pirates (and Bax's long-suffering impatience) finally did it in!
Can't remember the name of the thread but it was a truly a classic of excessive rambling, quipping, one-upmanship teasing, profoundly absurd BSing, and general hilarity. It almost single handedly gave me insight into the inner mind of dozens of GDP alum. And was one of the main reasons I became an increasingly active member of that forum. Long live digression......and now, back to our regular-er-broadcast...

I was an administrator on a large motorcycle forum, 100,000 + members. We accepted the fact that threads created a life of their own and it actually added to the fun. Some folks hated that their threads were high jacked but most members did not care.
