Ahead on this edition of Ozarks, how lasers have gone from a phenomenon on The Jetsons to a part of daily life. We speak with a Stanford University professor who has been teaching about the light-emitting device since 1969. Plus, annual hospitality awards in the Arkansas River Valley honor those who serve and take care of the public.
The independent film Come Morning was filmed in Arkansas and will have a one-night only showing in Rogers next week.
Here are our 12 clips for the montage inspired by the 12 Days of Christmas. The opening theme to the PARTRIDGE Family. Alabama sings the TURTLE DOVEing lyrics from their song Dixieland Delight. Foghorn Leghorn chats with a HEN (not French, true) in a Warner Brothers cartoon. The Beatles sing Blackbird. Our research indicates COLLY BIRDS are blackbirds. The Olympic Theme, representing FIVE RINGS. GOOSE from Top Gun talks to Maverick. The opening go Tchaikovsky's SWAN Lake. Shirley Booth as the MAID Hazel in the television program of the same name. Rosemary Clooney, a LADY, sings about DANCING. LORD Grantham, for Downton Abbey, gets ready to go…perhaps to LEAP? Rowdy Roddy PIPER yells at another wrestler. Todd Rundgren sings Bang the DRUM All Day. Apologies to Arkansas-born Goose Tatum of the Harlem Globetrotters, the cast of Black Swan and bagpipers everywhere (but Roddy Piper was louder). Maybe next year.
