It was 10 episodes. You are wrong. Also, could have, would have, should have? Were you the programming director for the network? If you could sing, were half-way intelligent, looked like something other than a cave-dweller, were clean, and weighed less than 400 pounds, and were in your 20s, you could have, maybe, at the odds of 1 in a billion, been a star! (Watch for monkeys flying out of your butt.)

Look that up.

> It was 10 episodes

So what?

I didn't sit down and count the episodes.

You didn't even know there was an Everly Brothers Show until I mentioned it.

Google search is a favorite of yours, obviously.

You are wrong

No, I'm not.

> and weighed less than 400 pounds

I'm about 150 pounds under that last time I checked, since you bring up that false information.

HTH and HAND.

Again, good plan, in my opinion.

Of course not, and I didn't claim that it was.

I did:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Glen_Campbell_Goodtime_Hour

The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour is an American music and comedy television variety show hosted by singer Glen Campbell from January 29, 1969, to June 13, 1972, on CBS. He was offered the show after he hosted a 1968 summer replacement for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Campbell used "Gentle on My Mind" as the theme song of the show.

The show was one of the few shows with rural audience appeal to survive CBS's rural purge of 1971, a survival made more unusual because it had fallen out of the top 30 shows that season.

The Everly Brothers: The Untold Truth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4UXtgG3Gzk

*****************Country-tinged rock and roll duo The Everly Brothers, consisting of Isaac Donald "Don" Everly and Phillip "Phil" Everly, were one of the most influential acts of the 20th century. The duo had a whopping 35 Top 100 singles, including "Cathy's Clown," "Bye Bye Love," and "Wake Up Little Susie," and were major influences on rock and roll titans like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. The Fab Four, in fact, even referred to themselves as "the British Everly Brothers." But there was darkness behind the sweet smiles, magical harmonies, and clean-cut personas.
