This was a week after _Hey Vern, It's Ernest_ aired its final episode on CBS. _Hey Vern, It's Ernest_ was cancelled after its only season in 1989, despite star Jim Varney winning a Daytime Emmy Award in the spring of 1989 for Outstanding Performer in a Children's Series. Not even a letter-writing campaign of 30,000 strong could save the show.
