Oh man, this guy still makes me laugh. Cas Walker was a grocery store magnate in East Tennessee and the coal mining areas of Virginia and Kentucky. He served as Mayor of Knoxville for 2 short tumultuous stints, and ran the city with an old school philosophy just like he ran his chain of stores. Some of the ads he ran are so racist by today' standards he'd be locked up for years. LOL

BTW, this show was the first to showcase Dolly Parton when she was about 14 years old so he was doing something right. This show came on at 5:30AM every morning and was more fun than Saturday Night Live back in the day.

 

 

Cas has some unkind words to say to thieves at

That's sure a blast from the past! I grow up in Harlan, Kentucky, and remember watching his TV show and shopping at his grocery store with my Mom when I was a kid.
