I had no idea PBS was playing it.
They must have run out of old Julia Child reruns.

She was a pistol in 'Lil Abner:
As Mammy Yoakum, she was younger than Peter Palmer, who played her son.
When she raised her index finger heavenward and said "Ah has spoken!" everyone knew that was the end of the discussion.
