Inspired in the Kitchen
Fried possum was a common topic on the show, and although it was funny, people really were inspired by the antics of Granny’s cooking. Eventually, cook books started to come out based on the show’s favorite chef. Some cookbooks were all recipes, while others actually included photos of the cast and set, as well as character profiles. Impressively enough, the cook books actually did quite well in sales, both as genuine gifts as well as gag gifts, as you can imagine.
Fan Favorites
There were all kind of episodes throughout the show that had people keeled over in laughter, but there just so happened to be one episode that stuck out amongst all the others. It was called “Hedda Hooper’s Hollywood”, and it ended up ranking super high on the TV Guide’s 100 Greatest Episodes of all Time list. It was 1997, and the episode made it to number 62! The cast and crew were pleasantly surprised by the nod to their hard work.
