Hey Vern, It's Ernest! (1988) watch online

Hey Vern, It's Ernest! is an American children's television program. It aired on Saturday mornings on CBS for one season in 1988. Each episode involved short sketches on a certain theme or scenario, featuring Ernest P. Worrell (Jim Varney), his unseen friend Vern, and various others. (This format was a contractual requirement because of an agreement with The Walt Disney Company, the distributor of the Ernest film series, that forbade them from using full-episode narratives; in turn, Ernest was allowed to address the camera directly as he did in commercials, something Disney did not allow in the films.) The filming locations were in Nashville, Tennessee, and Burbank, California. It was a production of Ernest creator John Cherry's production company, The Emshell Producers' Group, in association with CBS, and was co-produced with DIC Enterprises. The series was later rerun on The Family Channel in the early 1990s.
