Anyone else remember that Dolly Parton had a variety show once? Me neither.

Every episode began with her sexy/naive persona from a bubble bath.

   -I'm sure everyone here is familiar with Peter Bagge's work, and can see it in Bill Wray's art. (both have done better work since for MAD.)
   -The date in this sketch is Patrick Duffy, then still on Dallas.

   -Bumpers had regular people saying hello to to Ms. Parton.
   -The guest in this segment is Patti LaBelle.

Tammy Faye Bakker was a televangelist's wife with similat physical traits to Dolly Parton, only not aging well.

I don't know how long it will be up, here's the first episode.
This was the back cover of that same issue, also drawn by Bill Wray.
