Ozarks At Large

Latest Edition of Ozarks at Large

Sunday, March 30, 2014
Ahead on this edition of Weekend Ozarks, the Museum of Native American History in Bentonville may be a secret for now, but it won't be for long. We'll explain why, and we find out how distance education will have a larger footprint in the University of Arkansas School of Law next fall.
Here are the ten clips (and eleven threes) included in our montage this week: 1. Bob Dorough sings Three is a Magic Number. 2. Larry, Curly and Moe in trouble in A Plumbing We Will Go. 3. Al Pacino utters the most memorable line from Godfather III. 4. The Three Degrees’ biggest hit, When Will I See You Again. 5. Kendall Trainor gives Arkansas a win with his field goal (worth 3 points) in the 1985 Holiday Bowl. 6. An early 1980s jingle for Three Musketeers candy bar. 7. Steve Martin, Martin Short and Chevy Chase as the likeable, but slow-witted, Three Amigos. 8. The Oscar-winning song It’s Hard to Be a Pimp by Three Six Mafia. 9. Speaking of Oscar, the opening comments from Three Faces of Eve, an Oscar-winner for Joanne Woodward. 10. DOUBLE THREE ALERT! The Three Tenors sing We Three Kings. Apologies to the little pigs, the bears and Goldilocks, Jan Stenerud, Babe Ruth and that band that sang that song in the 90s.
