"Hee Haw" was country music's answer to "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In." Gags, corny one-liners, skits -- many delivered from a cornfield with an animated donkey reacting to the humor -- was the basis for much of the show's material. Aside from the cornball humor was the first-rate country music. Co-hosts Buck Owens and Roy Clark were both major country stars, with Clark being one of the best banjoist-guitarists in his craft. "Hee Haw" was dropped from CBS in 1971, a victim of CBS' decision to de-ruralize its programming (other shows like "Petticoat Junction, "Green Acres" and "The Beverly Hillbillies" got the axe as well). However, it went straight into syndication with all-new shows and stayed a ratings winner until it left the airwaves in 1997. Major guests
on the show included Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Jerry Lee Lewis, Barbara
Mandrell, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Lee Greenwood, George Strait, The
Judds, Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Garth Brooks, Alison Krauss, Trisha Yearwood
and Diamond Rio. |

A total of 585 one-hour shows were taped in Nashville, Tennessee, initially
in 1969 at the CBS affiliate WLAC-TV (now WTVF-TV) and then moving to
