Head for the hills.
Did you know that both Daisy Moses from The Beverly Hillbillies and Col. Sherman T. Potter from M*A*S*H both hail from the Ozarks?
if you’re a fan of both shows, you certainly might’ve picked up on it…
Both characters embraced a country way of cookin’ up the oddest insults and exclamations, so we got to thinking, it might be tricky to tell the two apart, if you compare their backwoods-y words side by side.

Weeknights at 5 PM, Sundays at 6 PM
