Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

ABC reportedly spent $20 million on the first season, making it one of the most expensive variety shows ever produced at that time.

Cultural

This flopped attempt came right after Dolly's film success in '9 to 5' and 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,' proving movie stardom didn't translate to the small screen format that made her famous.
