Reply to comment by hatersaurusrex in TIL Ernest P. Worrell (Ernest Saves Christmas et al.) & Vern were originally created by advertising company Carden & Cherry to promote various local and national brands. Due to the commercials popularity, an Ernest television show and ten movies were made, knowwhatimean? by OptionalPlayer

And if you liked The Beastmaster, Ted was your man. We used to laugh that he must love that movie and would call down to the station on a weekend: “Hey - play Beastmaster!”
“Umm Mr. Turner, we have programming already scheduled, and we did just show that film earlier this week.”

“I own the station - and I want Beastmaster!”

“Of course, sir”

Dude - I must have seen The Beastmaster 200 times growing up for that reason.

I'm willing to bet an inordinate number of ferrets in the South were named Kodo and Podo in the 80's
