The Wilburn Brothers Show
(1966-1974)

Doyle and Teddy Wilburn had one of the most successful traveling country music shows of the 60’s. When they brought their talents to television, they also brought with them a rich history of country music. Their guest list is a panorama of legends and would-be legends. Perhaps the highlight of the series was the girl singer, a young Loretta Lynn. Lynn appears on most of the 354 half hour episodes and in many ways became the third “star” of the show. The format is similar to the Porter Wagoner Show, but with a more subdued and “laid-back” approach.
