Before briefs, I guess they wore "long" underwear.
Heck, even if I had a thousand channels, I wouldn't tune in to see Lucy give birth (if it was a live video feed, that is).
I love me some Dolly Parton. Family Feud would have been waaaay funnier with her. I've seen the Polly Darton on Sesame Street. It is cool. As for her covering songs, I like her bluegrass version of "Help."
