Barbara Mandrell & The Mandrell Sisters

1 9 8 0 - 1 9 8 2 (USA)

This NBC variety series hosted by Barbara Mandrell and her sisters Louise and Irene had a distinct Country and Western flavour . 

The girls were accomplished musicians and hosted guest appearances from stars like Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers and Charley Pride. 

There were also plenty of comedy moments, featuring five life-size Krofft puppets called Truck Shack and the Texas Critters (Sid and Marty Krofft produced the show).
