Sooo...I shouldn’t have watched Dr Eugene Scott?
He was a HOOT!
When one of our three kids was born mrs p6 and I watched him while she was in labor. Best and easiest birthing EVAR!
Wish Doc Scott was still around.
And my all time fav radio preachers were Brother Dan and Sister Ann. Western Pennsylvania. Not quite a mega church but close.
They got me hooked on great Gospel music like The Happy Goodmans did. Dan and Ann did a pretty good version of Great Gospel Ship all by themselves!
They also brought Chico Holiday and Big John Hall into town a couple of times IIRC. LOVE that music!
Used to watch him on or HUGE sattelite dish years ago. We’re talkin’ pre-scramble days. He WAS a hoot!

Hartford, am I boring you? Play it again!
Scott was a classic. Funny as, um, hell. One day when he was soliciting money by saying GET ON THE PHONE!, my teenage son and his pals were watching and laughing at his friend’s house. Scott sat silently for many minutes waiting for the 10th pledge to come in of $1000 dollars. My son’s friend called in and made the pledge. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! He began talking again but of course would get no money. The kids laughed their asses off.
I would always stop on the late-night channel to listen to his wife. She did the “teaching” type of sermons with lots of Hebrew and Greek language meanings thrown in.
And she made the point of saying that she did not want donations from the TV audience. That the TV show was paid for by the church members as their gift to get the message out.
Definitely an odd story with him and his wife - but I sure learned a lot from her.
We used Dr. Scott for entertainment value. My family still talks about the time, probably 25 years ago, that Dr. Scott sat onscreen without talking for hours, until the donations got to a specific level. LOL!!
