Something about Tennessee Ernie...his smiles...his southern accent...his sweet face... everything just makes him so lovable!!! I loved him so much in I Love Lucy and now I found him here! 😂

[@michellelansky4490]

When I think how he is the 'father' of St Jude's you see how show biz didnt corrupt everyone....I mean what a brain child and he must have been such a sensitive soul. I don't know much about his life but to found THAT is something the world will never forget.

[@bettycaudill3299]

Loved Ernie in this one and when he was on the I love Lucy and another Lucy show. Sixteen Tons is a favorite song of mine.

Love these “old shows”-it’s like finding a lost friend. There’s no one quite like Tennessee Ernie Ford-! Wonderful episode: ❤️

[@kasperorganics-organiccott6881]

Beautiful episode. Thomas was a very good man.

[@RTTr-z6f]

[@freedomofspeech6095]

I love Ernie. I love his gospel music too.

[@sheenaghmcmahon9665]

Wow! A show about sharing. Awesome!

[@oldblackstock2499]

I'm Southern. I ain't never eat any chitlins. But I love a big bowl of grits. I like mine kinda thick with butter and pepper.

[@CapriceCEtheredge_]

Amazing storyline 👌

[@rosiedebevc1952]

Angela Cartwright is so cute. Angela was in the movie The Sound of Music

[@susannaCdonovan23]

She also was in "Lost in Space" and "Daniel Boone" Show. She was a model and appeared on Pepsi or Coca Cola commercials. She was such a darling girl.

[@kathrynwitte3398]

I guess she stopped smiling through every line in that case.

[@LorenIpsum75]

It was Angela's sister Veronica who co-starred in "Daniel Boone". 😉👍

[@christinespiers-wy9kr]

Love him!❤

[@henryponnefz1419]

A young girl in a strangers lap 😮

[@julietteyork6293]

Was there really a time when it was safe for young kids to go to a park by themselves?

[@christinespiers-wy9kr]

Is this from the Andy show?

[@feralkat9370]

Could somebody list all the southern dishes they discussed. I couldn't cut through that southern accent and all I caught was 'grits'. Lol TIA

[@Bailey2006a]

Rusty committed suicide...sad. He was extremely funny on this show.

[@florencedelvalle8145]

Oh no how sad. I didn’t know that. Do you know what happened? He was such a good young actor. RIP

[@julietteyork6293]

Devastating

[@exploreusabytexasstarmagaz7213]

[@jackkircher1755]

Angela Cartwright was adorable and becaa great actress but not here. On MRFD she smiled with every line which is not natural acting.

[@elizabethlenahan9833]

She’s only a tot here

[@zaria7304]

He let the little girl be alone with a man they don't know, who they picked up from a park bench??

[@buckeye7192]

This was a long time ago, and life was much different. Too bad you were not able to experience it.
