The Lennon Sisters in the magical, fantasy land of televised home shopping

Kathy & Janet Lennon appeared on the QVC network early Saturday morning around 3am selling their line of Best Pals dolls and accessories.

I must say, even in the wee hours of the morning when the roosters were comatose....the girls looked and sounded great!


Also this morning, Kathy and Janet will be appearing on the fourth hour of NBC's The Today Show, or better known as Kathie Lee and Hoda's Happy Hour

Lynn Anderson - Nacho Mama

In addition to being a world famous country singer and equestrian (that's horseback rider), Champagne Music Maker Lynn Anderson is also one terrific cook!

Especially when it comes to Tex Mex dishes hence the nickname "Nacho Mama"


The following is from an 2003 episode of Lorraine Crook's Country Kitchen show recently on RFD-TV where the other half of Crook & Chase learns from the Nacho Mama herself some of her favorite dishes.


Here she makes a serving of Trout Dip which is followed by Macadamia Trout.


And if you're wondering, Lynn loves to go trout fishing as well...

Here is another fishy dish, Red Letter Trout


Now we go to the Tex Mex dishes!


So let's start off with what else...a nice cup of Nacho Mama Salsa


And to top it all off, a dish Lynn likes to call "Carburetor Burritos" filled with....yes trout


Still pining for that Rose Garden?


I didn't think so.

The Champagne Five - Musical Family Cameos We Like To See

We all know that addition to their regular appearances on the Lawrence Welk Show, the Musical Family have appeared on other popular television programs and game shows.

Examples include Gail Farrell as a panelist on Match Game


...and who can forget Ken Delo appearing with Lucille Ball on Here's Lucy?

And of course there's Tanya on General Hospital, Arthur Duncan on Diagnosis Murder, Lawrence Welk on the Jack Benny Program and so forth.

On this latest version of the Champagne Five, I present my top five television programs in which I would love to see tailor made for any of the Champagne Music Makers to do a cameo appearance, guest starring role or celebrity contestant in....

So with AFTRA's blessing, here's the list.

1. THE $10,000/$20,000/$25,000 PYRAMID - Have Ken Delo and Mary Lou Metzger as the celebrity contestants for the week

2. THE DUKES OF HAZZARD - Fans of the show remember Boss Hogg's Celebrity Speed Traps, usually the celebrities are well known country singers. Ava Barber could be latest to sing at the Boar's Nest in order to have her traffic citation forgiven.

3. THREE'S COMPANY - Sheila and Sherry Aldridge could both star as Jack, Janet and Chrissy's newest next door neighbors.

4. SANFORD AND SON - Tom Netherton and Arthur Duncan both appear as performers at a nightclub where Fred, Bubba and Grady are patrons.

5. THE ROCKFORD FILES - Gail Farrell could guest star as one of Jim Rockford's latest clients.


The possibilities are endless, so don't be surprised if a second version of this particular Champagne Five appears in the near future.

Now where's is this week's TV Guide? I gotta find out who's on what this week.

Jo Ann Castle on the Jimmy Sturr Show

Here's a little treat from yesterday evening, on RFD-TV....the Jimmy Sturr Show had Jo Ann Castle on as his special guest star, it is always exciting when you see members of the Welk Musical Family appear on other shows.

Here's Jo Ann talking to Mister Zillion Grammy Winner from Florida, New York....

Here's Jo Ann playing the Beer Barrell Polka on the piano....

....and the crowd loves it! Jo Ann was truly the star of the show.

If you missed it don't worry....that same show shall air again Sunday morning at 10am Eastern (7am Pacific) on Rural America's Most Important TV Newtork.

Take a BLANK at these!

Here are some new pictures of Gail Farrell's tour of duty on Match Game.

From a Round One question: In Hollywood, Sid said, "I just saw the Goodyear blimp, well it was either the Goodyear blimp or it was BLANK wearing a silver suit"

Gail answered, "Orson Welles" and that was a match!
And here's a Round Two question on the following show: Rita said, "The world is a mess, everything is sinking, even my BLANK is lower than last year!"


Gail's answer? Derriere. However it was not a match.
As always, the shows are fun to watch.....she did the Champagne Music Makers very proud indeed!

Gail Farrell on Match Game

Got to watch one of Gail Farrell's appearances on Match Game, these are from her first time around.....the 1979-80 season.

While they are always fun to watch, I think GSN must be episode-skipping again because I think they showed her second episode of her first five.

I hate it when they do that! Especially since I only have the last two shows of that cycle and I needed the first three to complete the set, to go along with my set of the entire 1981-82 cycle....her second time on the show.

If anyone has a copy of her first MG episode, or maybe her third if they skip episodes again....let me know.

Kathie loves Andy

Tonight....I have stumbled upon classic TV gold courtesy of our friends from YouTube!

From 1981, the season opener of ABC's own Saturday Night Live-ripoff "Fridays"....where our Kathie Sullivan appears and sings with comedic legend Andy Kaufman, although the whole incident turned out to be one of Andy's comedic hoaxes....we had fun for the whole ride.

Here's the clip....it runs about nine and a half minutes, and Kathie comes out onstage about halfway through.
