[dcab-l] Frank Peppiatt, Co-creator of ‘Hee Haw,’ dies at 85

Frank Grant Peppiatt was born in Toronto on March 19, 1927. He acknowledged that neither he nor his writing and producing partner John Aylesworth, who was also born in Canada, had been to the South before concocting the series.
"We were looking at the ratings, and 'Laugh-In' was the leader followed by 'The Beverly Hillbillies,' " Mr. Peppiatt told the Los Angeles Times in 1970. "We wondered what kind of show would combine both elements."
