The Porter Wagoner Show No. 242
Opening of Porter Wagoner show #242. Standard pre-recorded opening begins with CU of Porter s shiny red boots walking down hallway, which cuts to rear view of Wagoner s garish green Nudie suit festooned with rhinestone wagon wheels and cacti. Montage of smiling Porter happily walking through WSM-TV studio as stage hands and technicians prep show. Don Howser s voice over reads: "Direct from Nashville Tennessee, here s The Porter Wagoner Show!" Quick shots of regulars as Howser announces them: "Starring Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton, Speck Rhodes, Don Howser, The Wagonmasters, and today s special guest star." Momentary pause in VO (presumably left for Howser to read the guest star s name on air), then prerecorded segment ends with Howser s "...and now, here s Porter." Cut to live portion as Porter, wearing dazzling, rhinestone-studded white Nudie suit, plays guitar and sings "Dooley" accompanied by Wagonmasters Buck Trent, Don Warden, Mack Magaha, George McCormick, Jack Little and Speck Rhodes, all but Speck in matching red Nudie suits. MS Buck's banjo solo, intercut with shot of audience applauding.

Porter saunters over to his special guests, Metromedia recording artists Cindy and Joe, The Burris Youngins. Cindy and Joe wear matching shiny blue-and-white outfits and look to be about 10 and 12 respectively. Together the duo sings "Milwaukee Here I Come" backed by The Wagonmasters, and with Joe Burris on guitar. The song is a first-person narrative about a couple who work in a brewery; the woman falls in love with Ernest Tubb, dragging the man to Nashville with her. The sight of a pre-adolescent brother and sister singing the song is a strange one indeed. Porter chats with them a moment before introducing commercial.

Leading the Wagonmasters in a fiddle solo, Mack Magaha plays us out of the commercial break with the instrumental "Liberty."
The Porter Wagoner Show No. 242
Porter introduces the "beautiful ung lady" Dolly Parton. Dolly is heard offscreen squealing with delight at Porter's flub and asks him to "run that by me one more time;" Porter does a little imitation of her in refusing to. Shot of audience applauding which cuts to Dolly just as Porter rushes in to do who-knows-what, but Dolly pushes him away saying "Go away, you done enough already." Backed by The Wagonmasters and wearing a fetching black and white dress with poofy white wig, Dolly plays guitar and sings "He's A Go-Getter" from her 1969 LP "In The Good Old Days."

Porter plays guitar and sings "Green Green Grass of Home" accompanied by the Wagonmasters. The lights dim evocatively during the number. Nice rendition, especially the recitation portion.

Porter introduces Speck with a little joke at his expense, saying how Speck was singing backstage recently before a show and a woman walked by and asked what he was doing. Speck said "Just killing time," and the woman replied "You sure got the weapon for it." Shot of audience laughter. Wearing his trademark checkered suit and bowler hat, gap-toothed hayseed comedian Speck calls his fictional girlfriend Sadie on an old-fashioned wall-mounted crank style telephone. "Hello Sadie?" Speck asks. "How do you expect me to follow lines like that with my material?" Speck asks Sadie to connect him to Harry Beard's barber shop and some awfully corny old-fashioned jokes ensue. Shot of audience looking a little embarrassed. Speck shares advice for the unmarried folks thinking of getting married: "Say it with flowers, say it with sweets/ Say it with kisses, and say it with eats/ Say it with jewelry, and say it with drink/ But by cracky be careful, don't say it with ink."

Don Howser comes in to help us settle down with a serious-type song after all that fun with Speck. Backed by The Wagonmasters, Porter recites/sings Hank Williams' "Pictures Of Life's Other Side." The lights dim again moodily, and Porter's delivery is outstanding.
The Porter Wagoner Show No. 242
Porter talks some about the Burris Youngins. Seems that just a few days prior, Tommy Alsop (sic) from Metromedia recorded them for a new record. Then again backed by The Wagonmasters, the youngsters perform "Act Naturally." Shot of audience clapping as Buck goes into his guitar solo that looks to have been prompted by a lit "applause" sign (not that Buck doesn't deserve it, to be sure).
The Porter Wagoner Show No. 242
Finishing a comment he just made about how the Burris Youngins are very talented, Porter says "I wish I could say the same about these guys, folks, but I ain't never lied to you and I ain't a-gonna start now." Porter introduces "Ike, Mike, and Spike" (Wagonmasters Buck, Mack, and George) who perform "Columbus Stockade Blues" while cracking each other up all the way through it. Afterwards Speck returns and Porter asks him about the term he used in his routine to describe marriage troubles, "matrimonial dyspepsia." Speck says he don't know what it means seeing as he's not very smart, and it's hard to say without front teeth besides. Then Porter wraps up the show, waving goodbye as The Wagonmasters play the instrumental show outro, Don Howser signs off, and Mack fiddles and dances us off the air. Great pan across motley-looking audience applauding with cute shot of kids. End title super reads "Produced By Show Biz in cooperation with WSM-TV."

Promo for The Porter Wagoner Show #244 featuring special guests Joe and Rose Lee Maphis. Spot opens with two-shot of Dolly facing Wagonmaster Jack Little. Jack has a tearful, terrified expression on his face as Dolly admonished him fiercely: "Now Smiley, I have told you and told you and told you to watch the Porter Wagoner Show every week on this channel, and our special guest this week is Joe and Rose Lee Maphis. Now stop laughing, I'm serious, now listen!" she says as she lightly slaps his crying countenance. Fade out over art card with colorful illustration of Porter.

Porter screws around with the lyrics a few times mid-song, and snakes in a reference to Dolly Parton "making herself at home." Medium shots Buck's banjo solo and Mack's fiddling. Ends with pan across audience applauding.

Porter welcomes audience then introduces "two of the nicest people in all the world, and two of the greatest show people I've ever met," Joe and Rose Maphis. What a great-looking couple! Smiling Rose strums guitar and wears a flowery old-fashioned country dress, while toothily grinning Joe sports a dark blue suit and picks his trademark double-neck guitar with his name inlaid in mother of pearl on the necks. Backed by The Wagonmasters, Rose sings and the couple performs "It's Genuine." Nice CU of Joe's fancy double-necked picking. If these two aren't still in love after being married 17 years, they fake it awfully well. Afterwards Porter returns and says the couple is his favorite to travel with as Rose is such a good cook.

We return from the commercial break to find Joe Maphis joining The Wagonmasters in the "wild instrumental" Porter promised in the last segment. First Mack Magaha, then Joe, then Buck Trent trade licks on a version of Joe's 1955 breakthrough "Fire On The Strings," his guitar-based version of the fiddle standard "Fire On The Mountain." Porter says "Outta sight!" and he knows from whereof he speaks. Breathtaking!

Porter points the spotlight at "the fellow who fronts the band," Stop Recording artist and Wagonmaster George McCormick. Backed by the rest of the Wagonmasters, George plays guitar and sings the b-side of his latest record, the tearjerker "What I'd Give To Hear A Baby Cry," about a man who's drinking caused him to accidentally squeeze a child to death. They just don't write 'em like that anymore. Shot of audience applause at head of number.

"There's a lot of funny folks in this ol' world," Porter says by way of introducing gap-toothed hayseed comedian Speck Rhodes, adding: "and this didn't happen to be one of 'em here, I don't reckon." Wearing his trademark checkered suit and bowler hat, gap-toothed hayseed comedian Speck calls his fictional girlfriend Sadie on an old-fashioned wall-mounted crank style telephone and some awfully corny old-fashioned jokes about drinking ensue. Shots of audience laughing throughout.

Porter introduces the week's sacred story song, a number he recorded with the Blackwood Brothers Gospel Quartet for their LP "In Gospel Country." Backed by The Wagonmasters, Porter recites Mel Tillis' seethingly angry piece "Pastor's Absent On Vacation." The lights dim evocatively.
