Hatfields and McCoys

With the Hatfields and McCoys being somewhat popular at SDC, this caught my ear during a commercial break of American Pickers.

I saw the preview for that last night. Sounds interesting, I plan on trying to tune in.

The drama on TV sounds more serious than the banter that used to go on during the day on Main Street at SDC:
-
Pa McCoy: (SHOUTING) You swindler! You hog thief!

Sheriff: Hey fellers, what's goin' on here?

Pa McCoy: This feller sold me a mule, and he didn't even tell me it was blind!

Zeke Hatfield: Why I did, too!

Sheriff: You sold him a mule and you told him it was blind?

Zeke Hatfield: Well, I told him the animal wasn't lookin' too good!

I also plan on tuning in. I LOVE history, so it will be good to see what it's really all about.

I don't know if I posted this somewhere else, but I just remembered this from my last trip to SDC.
You guys know the barrel/fountain outside of Molly's that says "McCoys Only, No Hatfields".
I was sitting in the front part of the restaurant eating breakfast and I was looking out the window where I could see who was walking in. Some guy couldn't get the door open, so I said, "Maybe he's a Hatfield!"

Only my sister got it and she about choked on her biscuits and gravy trying not to laugh. Then I had to wait for everyone who I was eating breakfast with to finish eating so I could explain to them and show them what I was talking about because when I said it, everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

Just reminding myself and anyone interested that this airs Monday night.

The previews make it look good. Just hope I can remember.

Thanks for the reminder.

I don't have to remember... I just set my DirecTV DVR to record the series. Handy thing, this internet. Doc Harris would definitely approve.

In checking out the Hafield/McCoy Dinner Theater Website above, I noticed a bearded gent in a pink underwear shirt. Is this the same fellow used to play the miner at SDC/Tennessee in the 1970's, or would that feller be so old now that he probably is 6 feet under or retired?

So... Did anyone tune in? What did you think?

Gilligan · May 29, 2012, 06:49:23 AM

I watched the first 30 min. and asleep. I'll try to watch the recorded version tonight - and - stay awake. Hubs comments: It was pretty detailed and the history was well researched, photography was good, some parts were a little slow.

good so far to me. & i aint a movie person, but it kept my interest.
