Big doins when Bugtussle got their party line. Peculiar, Missouri got theirs the following year.
Someday Bob,we`ll run across a few total strangers at this or that family function......preferably susceptible young people.......people who have no pre-conceived notions of Bugtussle or Peculiar or even telephone party lines....we`ll block off their avenues of escape and then carefully explain to them how important these three factors were to the development of our country,as we know it......we`ll pause just long enough to grab another drink from the passing waiter.....and when we return to our task we`ll be looking at empty chairs where once sat fidgety people
Gosh, and I'm old enough to even recall enjoying watching Stepin Fetchit back in his hey-day. Try explaining that to the 'young people' and watch their eyes roll back!
Good points JB and Tony. Since most young people are convinced that nothing worthwhile happened before they were born, I feel any attempt toward education would be in vain.

we should pass our secrets along QUIETLY ......like we did in events leading up to the Battle of Bugtussle

Oooooops !!!......I think that falls under a Lodge 49 ruling

OK, forget explaining Stepin Fetchit to a youth - just TRY to explain AMC's Lodge 49 to someone older than 60!!

I`m soooooooooooooooo ready to watch that show again.......or even head down to Mexico to search for Larry Loomis (the Sovereign Protector of Lodge 49)
For anyone who may have just had their curiosity tweaked, please listen to what reviewer Karthik Bathula had to say:
"Lodge 49 is an American comedy drama TV series produced by AMC Studios. Though it is termed as comedy drama, the series transcends beyond the genre labels. It is odd and weird in a really good way and offers loads of fun for those who invest time on it.
It is a show that deals with life, dreams, philosophy, and surrealism through various characters. Entire show is nothing but life of few lead characters slowly progressing through day-to-day activities, yet the charm of writing and narration makes it a very good watch. At times, we get to see ourselves in the characters and at times we get to see the dreams we try to escape into.
Writing & Narration:
It is rare to see shows where writing is sublime and so is the narration. The writing is so good that it feels as if you are watching the characters and their lives in person. Leave aside the good plot and great performances, Lodge 49 intrigue you with its narrative style.
The show starts off on a very different note and sets the tone for the series in the very first episode. And this weirdly funny tone is carried all over the series and the season finale makes you cringe for more.
Performances in Lodge 49:
The entire story revolves around the pivotal character “Sean Dudley (Dud)” played by Wyatt Russell. Complementing the sublime writing, Wyatt breathe life into Dud with realistic performance. As the story progresses, we get to see many transformations in Dud’s character which Wyatt portrayed with ease.
Then there are two other characters, “Ernie Fontaine” played by Brent Jennings and “Liz Dudley” played by Sonya Cassidy, who have their own sub-plots intertwining with Dud’s story. All the lead actors delivered an amazing performance. The performances were so good that you might end up remembering them with their character names.
Overall:
Overall a good and different show that is written and made really well. Definitely worth the time you spend on it. And also the show is renewed for second season, which makes it a good choice for your watch list.
On a personal note, I really loved the whole show. For me, it is one of the best TV shows of 2018 and it joins my list of all-time favorite shows that are worth watching multiple times.
OK, got a much better handle on it for now. But does it really compare to quality TV shows, like, for example, Moonshiners and Master Distillers? (LOLOLOL!!)

first off,there aint no mosquito character..........and,AFAIK,due to previous contractual obligations,Master Distiller was written out in the second season of the Brak show
We actually love watching Master Distiller. It's filmed right down the road here at the Sugarlands Shine Distillery in Gatlinburg. Eric "Digger" Manes & Mark Ramsey are two of the main characters on the show and usually nearby the distillery to meet & greet. (They make a helluva Hazelnut Rum Moonshine - My personal fave)
