Well the TV show is a tough one I mean the ratings were good and a heck of a lot better than should I say Mr. Wagoner's Show. You can really tell Dolly put a lot of effort in it but it just didn't work. I mean she did't get to plan anything.The show reminds me of a candy cane that was dropped on a rock. It still tastes good but it's not the same. I think if Dolly had Planned it it might have looked better and lasted longer but the critics just didn't think it was good enough. ABC canceled it on it's first season and it did not return. I still think they should air it on TV in re-runs. But now 6 episodes are coming out on DVD.

Early syndicated music show from Dolly
OKCRay24 February 2007
Not to be confused with her 1987 variety show on ABC; this was actually a half-hour syndicated music series starring Dolly Parton and featuring guest appearances by many pop and country artists of the day (1976-77). I remember watching this in Chicago on WFLD-TV (channel 32) weeknights at 10 or 10:30pm and had often wondered if any of the tapes from these episodes were still in existence. Fortunately for many of Dolly's fans, a DVD offering of six episodes will be available on February 27th. In addition to seeing Dolly perform several of her most memorable songs (including "I Will Always Love You), you'll also get long-unseen performances from Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Ronnie Milsap and Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. among others. I'm really looking forward to enjoying these performances again (and hopefully more DVDs yet to come)!
