The character of Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane -- portrayed hilariously by James Best -- introduced my father and me to calling those around us a "dipstick."  For Christmas one year, I presented Dad with a golden dipstick (spray painted, of course) as a joke which cracked him up....which, sadly, did not sound anything like Rosco's classic "kew-kew-kew" laugh.   #KenCollects #TheDukesOfHazzard #RoscoPColtrane #SheriffRoscoPColtrane #HazzardCounty #youdipstick #dipstick #70s #70sTV #autograph #autographs #autographed #autographcollection #autographcollecto #auto #signed #signature https://www.instagram.com/p/BwhzQ1pHFBt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zk9yudqxfyal

Back in the late '70s and early '80s when I was a lil' kid, Friday nights meant one thing -- watching "The Dukes of Hazzard" with Dad.  We both absolutely loved the show and cracked up at Boss Hogg, played by the perfectly cast Sorrel Booke, getting outwitted by the Dukes each and every time.  I was happy when I was able to add his autograph to my collection. #KenCollects #TheDukesOfHazzard #BossHogg #JeffersonDavisHogg #HazzardCounty #simoleons #TheBoarsNest #BoarsNest #70s #70sTV #autograph #autographs #autographed #autographcollection #autographcollecto #auto #signed #signature https://www.instagram.com/p/BwhE8mbg6hh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=otr2ewwolljh

As far as I'm concerned, Jean Stapleton was a national treasure.  She reminded me very much of my Mom -- eternally flighty but steeped with wisdom.  There are only a handful of celebrities whose passing brought me to tears and Jean was definitely one of them. #KenCollects #JeanStapleton #EdithBunker #Dingbat #AllInTheFamily #70s #70sTV #autograph #autographs #autographed #autographcollection #autographcollecto #auto #signed #signature #8x10 https://www.instagram.com/p/BwfQNYindTY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aj6jphq3t7gz

One of my earliest loves was collecting autographs.  Another of my earliest loves were these two right here -- Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton from "All in the Family".  This is one of the few shows that has made me laugh and cry for 40+ years. #KenCollects #AllInTheFamily #CarrollOConnor #JeanStapleton #ArchieBunker #EdithBunker #Dingbat #70s #70sTV #autograph #autographs #autographed #autographcollection #autographcollecto #auto #signed #signature #8x10 https://www.instagram.com/p/BwelHntnbX3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y29xxwqs1ixl

Years ago I read an article about the best UK shows that we here in America were missing out on and it led me to the absolutely brilliant series "Broadchurch".  It was here that I received my formal introduction to Olivia Colman and instantly fell in love with her and her powerhouse performance.   I spied this photo and wanted nothing more than to get it signed by both Olivia and David.  I recently acquired the pic with her signature and will hopefully add Tennant's at a convention in the future to complete it.   #KenCollects #OliviaColman #EllieMiller #Miller #DavidTennant #AlecHardy #Broadchurch #autograph #autographs #autographed #autographcollection #autographcollecto #auto #signed #signature #8x10 https://www.instagram.com/p/BwSmSu9HZaC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u795q6mf1nwj
