  Look forward to more volumes of The Heartland Series coming to YouTube in the near future! There are more than 30 volumes in all with episodes from the mid-1980s to the late 2000s.

  Mr Landry just doesn’t know what a treasure this show is. I watched it from the time it came on air til it went off. He opened the worlds eyes to us, the people of Appalachia and our ways. ❤❤❤❤

  I keep expecting to hear "WHEEL OF FORTUNE!!" after every episode.

  One of the hallmarks of my childhood. WBIR and Bill Landry's soothing tones educating me every time I visited the Smokys. Glad it's digital now. I can share with my own children.

  She wanted to find her ancestors. Being a dutiful husband I agreed and we found the stones that marked her family lay in Cades Cove.  I found her in the mid point of the last century. She graduated from a tiny school. Her grandmother taught in a one room school in NC.  Talked with her grandmother. Courted her,  the daughter. Married her. She could do anything she set her mind too. Her skills were not enough: author, designer, mother, lover. I had to lay her to her rest up high in the Balsams (Great Smokys) after 60 years married.  Lord, I miss her, please let me see her again.

  My wife and I love to relax watching Heartland Series. I've met Bill Landry several times and he is always a joy to talk to.

  What an unexpected treasure trove for this sometime Oak Ridge boy. Thanks, Bill Landry and WBIR, for this vital legacy.

  My great grandfather was on this show a few times. I would do anything to get ahold of those tapes/videos. I didn't see him in this volume his name was Roscoe Stinnett. He was a trapper/hunter and was also on an episode talking about humming birds when him and Bill Landry happened to come across a hummingbird nest neither had even seen before. Pretty cool stuff you don't see shows like this anymore.

  My father used to rent The Heartland Series from our local library in East TN when I was a boy. We would watch it after dinner. Always loved it. Thanks for sharing this!
