“I love TV, and I think there’s another television show in development, probably for another network. It’s in history books,” says Marty Stuart. “That particular show is in the books now. This doesn’t mean that Marty Stuart is done with television though. So we know these shows stand the test of time, and there’s definitely and evergreen element to them, and they will remain popular.”
MARTY STUART BAND SERIES
And Marty, along with RFD-TV, has in some cases produced more episodes than some of those older series from the late 60’s, early 70’s, yet those shows are still going strong on RFD. It’s been a short time I suppose, but some of our most popular classic programming is ‘The Porter Wagoner Show,’ ‘Pop Goes The Country,’ those kinds of shows. Let’s move on.”Įarlier this week, RFD-TV Program Director Jeremiah Davis had told Saving Country Music, “We’d love nothing more than to have him back, a nd I know our viewers would too. But at the end of the 156 episodes and six or seven seasons, you know what? Mission accomplished. I think there were maybe five or six names on my wish list for the first season that I never got to, or they couldn’t do it or didn’t want to do it, whatever. “The mission statement there was to put our arms around the culture of traditional country music inside the walls of Nashville before it completely disappeared off the edge of planet Earth. “I did 156 episodes, me and the Superlatives,” Marty Stuart told The Boot. Though the only official answer we could pull was that Marty was taking time off from the show in 2017 to tour behind his recent record Way Out West, in a new interview Marty Stuart leaves no wiggle room for the show’s return. Just this week Saving Country Music inquired if there would ever be any new episodes of The Marty Stuart Show-the long-running RFD-TV staple that saw Marty share the stage with his backup band The Fabulous Superlatives, as well as a host of special guests, including many great country music oldtimers, as well as newer up-and-comers.
