But her 80s variety show sounded like they tried to do more than they needed to, and featured more comedy bits instead of focusing on music. I never saw it but I recently saw commercials for it, as it was being repackaged along with episodes from the other two variety shows she hosted on DVD. I do remember seeing some episodes of her first series, and it was very entertaining.

I doubt that you need to explain to 90% of people here that Dolly was on Porter's show, and was his protege. Just like you've never listened to any FM, pre Stevie. Your focus is pretty narrow.

I have Porter's stained glass lamp on my nightstand, btw, along with several other personal items, including his home movies on vhs. Seriously. And his radar detector in my car(I wish I was joking... I'm that uncool).
