I THINK the wrestling on ch.21 was Mid-South, which was taped in Shreveport (WWF hadn't begun national syndication yet). Channel 11 had WCCW wrestling (it was called "Saturday Night Wrestling" at this time) from Ft. Worth, while ch. 39 had the nationally syndicated show from the Sportatorium on Sundays at 11am.

8:30 Pop! Goes The Country Club

Was this a spinoff of "Pop! Goes The Country," or just an error?

Actually, this was a retooled version of the show, seen during its final season -- the show was changed from a standard variety / interview format (hosted by Ralph Emery and later, Tom T. Hall) to a night club setting, hosted by Jim "Hey, Vern" Varney.
 
bpatrick-have you been able to acquire any Dallas-Fort Worth TV Guide issues from 1985 or 1986?
 
Azumanga: Re: "Pop! Goes The Country Club" - I stand corrected, thank you for the information. Boy, that had to be a worse way to go out than "Hee Haw Silver"!
