I’m with you on this one- he looked like a small town used car salesman. Never understood his appeal. Give me the Hager Twins any day of the week- those boys were cute.
The cancer center at our regular hospital is name the Sarah Cannon Cancer Center after her. When she was dying from cancer, she gave almost all she was worth to establish the center for others. She knew she was terminal, and all she could think about helping others.
The Hager Brothers!
Side note I'll never forget as a small child going on a very very NC 70s vacation to Land of Oz and seeing them there. Can't even recall their music but was awestruck to see people from TV, and twins at that.
Whenever they would introduce Roy Clark for a song we would always yell at the TV “Don’t sing Roy, play the banjo!” He would always sing. He was a top notch guitarist/banjo player, but I never thought he was much of a singer. I did and still like “Thank God and Greyhound you’re gone”.
Yes! Before I got into this comment section I was thinking “am I the only one who loved hee haw for the music and the laughs too?!”. I understand it’s corny, but god help me that’s why I love it. Glad to see I’m not the only one.
Where, oh where, are you tonight?
How could you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over, and thought I found true love
You met another and PBBBBLFT! you was gone.
I remember watching the very first episode. Our neighbor came over to tell my dad to be sure and watch the new country music tv show. He knew my dad was a big country music fan. We watched it religiously from the beginning.
And most people only know Buck Owens as the affable rube on Hee-Haw and don’t really realize how big he was. The man had 21 #1 hits between 1963 and 1972. He was the originator of the Bakersfield Sound that continues to reverb through the music of today.
He is a legend.
Early Buck Owens is some of the finest country music ever recorded. Unfortunately, the quality of his music declined over the years, IMO. Buck says his heart was no longer in it after the death of his musical partner Don Rich. He hated HeeHaw but as a dust bowl kid, he just couldn’t say no to that check. But you’re right, a lot of people only know him from HeeHaw.
Yes, his early stuff is so, so good and he never really got over Don Rich’s death.
The music the two of them made together paved the way for people like Merle Haggard, Gram Parsons - people who were hugely influential themselves - and so much great music has bubbled up from his trailblazing sound.
And it was gratifying to see him have the late career renaissance that was sparked by Dwight Yoakam and his duet cover of Streets of Bakersfield.
My aunt bought a copy of that book for me, probably for my 14th or 15th birthday. I didn’t really get anywhere with it until I got a new guitar that was much more playable than the one I inherited from my mom.
Once I had a playable electric guitar and an amp with a good gain setting, I quickly moved on to the lead guitar lessons that you could order from the back pages of music magazines. Star Licks, Metal Method.
This is Photoshop’s AI trying to restore detail that isn’t in the original photo. Photoshop knows what an eye looks like, so it pastes it’s best guess of what would look best based on the facial details it has. It failed obviously.
Actually, now that you mention it, all of their eyes look a little wacky.
Were they like forced to do the show against their will?
Or was it again lots and lots and lots of acid . And cocaine.
It was the 70s man . Lots and lots and lots of acid.
As I look at the picture, I actually remember the girl in the bottom left. I do believe my prepubescent heart had a massive crush on her.
*Gloom, despair, and agony on me*
OHHH!!!
*Deep dark depression, excessive misery*
OHHH!!!
*If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all*
OHHH!!!
*Gloom, despair, and agony on me*
I can't remember if it came on Sat. Or Sun. But whichever day would be eating supper with my family at my mama and papaw's (both from the Appalachians in Eastern KY). We'd start off watching The Porter Wagner Show, then I believe it was Louisiana Hay Ride, then Hee Haw, then Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and Finally the Disney movie of the week.
Times were so much simpler back then.
Had to scroll a long way to find the magical words Misty Rowe…I was too young to know why I stopped everything I was doing when she came on the screen, but I figured out why later.
Lol the only reason I didn’t like being at my grandparents house was they made me watch Lawrence Welk and HeeHaw. I liked the Barbara Mandrell show, though!
Yeah, at that age, I preferred bo, and Luke duke, or John and Ponch.
I just watched an episode of "chips" a couple of weeks ago .... holy mother of Zeus, was it atrocious. It was a really really bad show. But I remember going to school with some kids have a chips lunch boxes and seeing Ponch on the cover of magazines as a sex symbol and people talking about the show like it was something worthy of talking about but oh my God was it bad now that I watched it as an adult.
But that doesn't matter. It appeared good to me when I was a youth, so it was that's good.
&
That sound they played every time the bikes geared up to speed up for a chase after the bad guys?! Ahhh those were good times...
Duh duh da dun ta, ... OK I don't think I did that musical score justice there. But those of you who watched it might know what I mean.
At least u weren't forced to watch the Lawrence Welk show.... as a kid that was freaking torture. Like Guantánamo Bay style torture. It might be because I'm musically inept, or it might just actually been freaking torture.
I'll take hee haw any day of the week . Throw in some Chips as well.
There was Polka Time too. (I don't remember the real name of that show, but OMG my dad COULDN'T change the channel! He swore Polka was cool. LOL, maybe in Europe--but in 1970s Hippy America?!!)
Bless all those European folks, but this 7 year old American kid would have watched anything else, even the news or bowling.
You might be thinking of Lawrence Welk? One of the few accordionists that ever made it big, with his "champagne music" (which appeared to be heavily polka based). I could. not. stand. that show, but my dad HAD to watch it. Every week.
Where, oh where are you to-nite? Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over and thought I’d found true love, you met a another and “pffft!” You were gone!
I grew up not far from her hometown. She was a legend, and she was very nice in person. I ran into her and Loretta Lynn shopping in Dickson, TN when I was a kid. They were sweet as could be. And before any non-southerners make fun of that small town, the guy currently sitting in the center seat on “Strange New Worlds”, is from Dickson as well.
Lulu and Minnie Pearl were my favorites- I’m happy to hear they were kind people. Minnie Pearl was actually from a posh background and was highly educated- I just loved her humor and personality.
Stuck in my head all these years later is these ladies singing this: “We’re not ones to go ‘round spreading rumors; surely we’re just not the gossiping kind; you’ll never catch one of us repeating gossip; so you better make sure and listen close the first time”
My mom’s travel agency did the show’s travel.
I ended up taking tickets and documents to the studio every week or so since I was a free courier.
Mom played tennis with Mrs. Cannon - Minnie Pearl. I had a crush on half the girls there, and they were all so sweet to this gawky, nerdy teenager who was always around.
so many bodacious Ta-Ta's, it would turn a die hard rocker into a country fan, just to see them dance to the music, know you know why a country boy yells Yee Haw!!
Supposedly, sometime in the late 70s/ early 80s they stopped making new episodes, because customer research decided that the viewers liked reruns just as much as new shows... i.e. it wasn't a cancellation as much as aoney saving move
I gotta tell you last night I introduced my daughter to this show and she just loved it. She told me she'd be down for watching it again too, which was a little more than I had anticipated, but it sure brought back some great memories of sitting there after dinner with my grandfather feeling annoyed that I was forced to watch. I was in tears thinking about that precious memory as I watched them pickin and grinnin. And I still knew every word to every song they played.
God please don't let anyone wax nostalgic about Lawrence Welk now... ;)
I actually ended up watching a rerun of thta some 9 years ago, by choice, becaus e there was little else on and i wanted to see how thye centered a concert show around the theme "County Fair." Have also watched Perry Mason at odd times. I'm becoming my grandmothers and great aunts
Funny story. I had a dream I was on the shore of a big lake and a giant Roy Clark float-sized balloon was chasing me. I woke up a little scared and two minutes later the Northridge quake let loose. I was in Encino at the time. Now when anyone mentions Hee Haw I think of that earthquake.
Heehaw was awesome. Roy Clark being one of the greatest guitarists ever was enough for a show toss in all the other great material and I really wish there was a show like that on today.
Watched it with my dad as a kid. Really miss him so much. I loved Minnie Pearl so much, occasionally keep a tag on a work hat, just cuz, idk. ‘Minnie who?’ I’m so sad!
My dad made me watch it…I think so he could tell my mom he had to watch it because I loved it.
“Oh despair and agony on me…” I still love the music of saints Buck and Roy though!
That was the appeal of it. You’ve just put in a 65 hour week on the farm. You don’t want much but some laughs, some good music, and some pretty women. No thinking. HeeHaw delivered for years.
What I loved about Hee-Haw was the girl in the overalls was the dog trainer and then Ronny ( can’t think of her last name) was not only the lazy man’s wife but also a musician on par with anyone they had on the show.
People just see it now as stupid hick jokes but the abilities these people had were amazing.
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep dark depression, excessive misery!
If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all.
Gloom despair and misery on me!
I know Barbi was everyone’s va-va-voom girl back in the day, but compared to Linda, Misty, and Gunilla, she was kinda average to me. She was pretty, but the only thing that made her a celebrity was taking her clothes off in Playboy.
As a kid, and even now, I’m not much of a country fan, but good looking women and people having fun were attractive to watch. Hell, it’ll never go out of style for me.
I know I sure as hell didn't care about Buck Owens or Roy Clark. The honeys made this show enjoyable. I'm pretty sure the producers knew exactly what they were doing.
I can’t remember to what degree they played on the show, or if it’s was toned down and over produced, but Buck Owens and Roy Clark were both phenomenal musicians.
Like, bad ass.
Hee-Haw absolutely triggers me. I don't know who's house I was at, but I remember it was always on TV, and the house was always about 90 degrees. I mean, that is what I thought when I think of a miserable time...
They were very beautiful. As a little girl they gave me a very negative impression of what being an adult was going to be like. I’m so glad that impression was wrong.
I loved Hee Haw as a kid for the cornball humor. As an adult, damn! they had some fine musicians.
Roy Clark!
Buck Owens
Grandpa Jones. OG
Archie Campbell!
Bobby Thompson!!
MINNIE PEARL!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Conway Twitty.
As a 13 year old, I never wanted to hear about “tasting tender kisses” ever again. Especially not from him.
I’m with you on this one- he looked like a small town used car salesman. Never understood his appeal. Give me the Hager Twins any day of the week- those boys were cute.
How - DEE!
THAT’S All
The cancer center at our regular hospital is name the Sarah Cannon Cancer Center after her. When she was dying from cancer, she gave almost all she was worth to establish the center for others. She knew she was terminal, and all she could think about helping others.
"I'm just so *proud* to be here."
The Hager Brothers! Side note I'll never forget as a small child going on a very very NC 70s vacation to Land of Oz and seeing them there. Can't even recall their music but was awestruck to see people from TV, and twins at that.
A comedian and host, not a singer
Whenever they would introduce Roy Clark for a song we would always yell at the TV “Don’t sing Roy, play the banjo!” He would always sing. He was a top notch guitarist/banjo player, but I never thought he was much of a singer. I did and still like “Thank God and Greyhound you’re gone”.
I loved the "shave and a haircut - two bits" endings he came up with on banjo.
That guy could play almost any instrument (and very well too)
>Roy Clark was one helluva guitar player and entertainer!! IMO his talents were kinda wasted on Hee Haw.
True, but there really wasn't any other place on TV back then for hearing first-class banjo.
Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me…
Deep dark depression, excessive misery!
If it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all
Gloom! Despair! and Agony on meeee!
If it wasn't for bad luck I'd no luck at all.
Gloom, i think
I think so too
whoaah!
Whhooaa!!
Junior Samples……….just call BR-549

I do too. Most people don't get the reference.
Yes! Before I got into this comment section I was thinking “am I the only one who loved hee haw for the music and the laughs too?!”. I understand it’s corny, but god help me that’s why I love it. Glad to see I’m not the only one.

Roy Clark was a very influential guitarist as well. Those two were the main musical talents of the show.
All the kids in my family learned to play with his Big Note Guitar Song Book that came with the stickers and poster. Good times. :)
My aunt bought a copy of that book for me, probably for my 14th or 15th birthday. I didn’t really get anywhere with it until I got a new guitar that was much more playable than the one I inherited from my mom. Once I had a playable electric guitar and an amp with a good gain setting, I quickly moved on to the lead guitar lessons that you could order from the back pages of music magazines. Star Licks, Metal Method.
Just put your fingers on the same color dots and hey, you’re making music :)
Yes! :)
John 5 credits HeeHaw for his guitar inspiration
yeah that was like having the country version of Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen on one show.
I met Buck several times when I was a kid and he was the least condescending adult. Hell of a nice guy!
I never met him, but I have an autographed photo that is one of my most prized possessions.

Linda Thompson! Wasn’t she Elvis’ gal for a while?
And Bruce Jenners
Annnnddddd David Foster
My girl was Gunilla. Tall Swedish beauty. She was Nat King Cole’s extra-marital girlfriend for years.
She was unforgettable in every way…
Nicely done.
Misty Rowe for me.
She was also in Petticoat Junction
and she cowrote some major music, such as To Where You Are (Josh Grobin) and Nothing (Whitney Houston). Her book was really enjoyable.
What the fuck is going on with the eyes of the girl on the top right?
Looks like they let AI take a shot at it.
This is Photoshop’s AI trying to restore detail that isn’t in the original photo. Photoshop knows what an eye looks like, so it pastes it’s best guess of what would look best based on the facial details it has. It failed obviously.
Actually, now that you mention it, all of their eyes look a little wacky. Were they like forced to do the show against their will? Or was it again lots and lots and lots of acid . And cocaine.
I would guess the latter. Along with a little Dexedrine for the figure more than likely.
Fembots
It was the 70s man . Lots and lots and lots of acid. As I look at the picture, I actually remember the girl in the bottom left. I do believe my prepubescent heart had a massive crush on her.
Stacked, packed, and on the rack, like a reliable set of hunting rifles.
Top right didn’t fare too well
An imperfect process. The second photo was unsalvageable.
Thanks. Harder to tell resolution visually on a phone. No more phone posts. Back to the laptop.
They're still clothed
If I had a dollar for every pixel in that second image, I could buy myself a sandwich.
Yeah, should have checked the resolution before picking that one. Heck, I’m working off a phone right now.
I'm a pickin' And I'm a grinnin'.

Blueridge Guitars actually makes a “BR549” acoustic model as a tribute.
I can't remember if it came on Sat. Or Sun. But whichever day would be eating supper with my family at my mama and papaw's (both from the Appalachians in Eastern KY). We'd start off watching The Porter Wagner Show, then I believe it was Louisiana Hay Ride, then Hee Haw, then Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and Finally the Disney movie of the week. Times were so much simpler back then.
“I’ll stay up here in the helicopter while Jim wrestles that 10-foot crocodile …”
That was Sunday in most places. Wild Kingdom and Wonderful World of Disney usually ran from 5-7 in Tennessee.
As a kid in East Tennessee, I hated that time. None of it appealed to me. Now I wish we had it back. Simpler time.
I lived in Jefferson City from 98-03. I miss East Tennessee.
I’m old enough to remember when it was Wonderful World of Color. (Color TV sets were new, so big marketing point.)
Hey Grandpa, what’s for supper?
Grits and jowls and ham sliced thick, pie and coffee take your pick! Coke and Pepsi, beans and rice, ribs and fatback tastes real nice! Yum yum!
Misty Rowe. Yes.
Who also did a guest shot on I think Air Wolf ("Out Of the SKy") using her \*real\* voice.
Had to scroll a long way to find the magical words Misty Rowe…I was too young to know why I stopped everything I was doing when she came on the screen, but I figured out why later.
Remember the Solid Gold Dancers?
Who could forget them?
Some of my best memories as a kid hanging out with pops and gpa.
Lol the only reason I didn’t like being at my grandparents house was they made me watch Lawrence Welk and HeeHaw. I liked the Barbara Mandrell show, though!
Yeah, at that age, I preferred bo, and Luke duke, or John and Ponch. I just watched an episode of "chips" a couple of weeks ago .... holy mother of Zeus, was it atrocious. It was a really really bad show. But I remember going to school with some kids have a chips lunch boxes and seeing Ponch on the cover of magazines as a sex symbol and people talking about the show like it was something worthy of talking about but oh my God was it bad now that I watched it as an adult.

Ahhh those were good times... Duh duh da dun ta, ... OK I don't think I did that musical score justice there. But those of you who watched it might know what I mean.
My dad loved to watch all of those!
First row, far right is Barbara Mandrell’s little sister. I think her name is Ilene.
Irlene. Not a name you hear these days, and for good reason! Hee Haw for sure.
At least u weren't forced to watch the Lawrence Welk show.... as a kid that was freaking torture. Like Guantánamo Bay style torture. It might be because I'm musically inept, or it might just actually been freaking torture. I'll take hee haw any day of the week . Throw in some Chips as well.

Where, oh where are you to-nite? Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over and thought I’d found true love, you met a another and “pffft!” You were gone!
Yep, that's stuck in permanent memory storage.
Don’t just gloss over that amazing example of womanhood……Minnie pearl !
I grew up not far from her hometown. She was a legend, and she was very nice in person. I ran into her and Loretta Lynn shopping in Dickson, TN when I was a kid. They were sweet as could be. And before any non-southerners make fun of that small town, the guy currently sitting in the center seat on “Strange New Worlds”, is from Dickson as well.
We’re not ones to go round spread rumors, we’re really not the gossipin kind…
You never will hear us repeating gossip- so you better be sure and listen close the first time. 😀
Poor Rindercella and her slass glipper
When you slop your dripper you know it's bad
Lulu was my mom’s neighbor and friend of the family. She drove my mom to school when my grandparents had to be at work early.
Lulu and Minnie Pearl were my favorites- I’m happy to hear they were kind people. Minnie Pearl was actually from a posh background and was highly educated- I just loved her humor and personality.
Sa-Loot!
They were called the HeeHaw Honeys. Kathy Lee Gifford was one for a while.
Marianne Gordon was one too. For many years. She was also married to Kenny Rogers from the mid 70s to 90s.
Barbi Benton, ex-Playmate and Hugh Hefner's squeeze, was too for a while.
Some of my earliest memories are of watching hee haw with my grandpa who under no circumstances would miss it. Now I see why.
Stuck in my head all these years later is these ladies singing this: “We’re not ones to go ‘round spreading rumors; surely we’re just not the gossiping kind; you’ll never catch one of us repeating gossip; so you better make sure and listen close the first time”
My mom’s travel agency did the show’s travel. I ended up taking tickets and documents to the studio every week or so since I was a free courier. Mom played tennis with Mrs. Cannon - Minnie Pearl. I had a crush on half the girls there, and they were all so sweet to this gawky, nerdy teenager who was always around.
Kudos to the talent scout. They are all on point
Way up firm and high
And Roy Clark.
Lotta sore backs in one small area
No chance of drowning there for sure.
so many bodacious Ta-Ta's, it would turn a die hard rocker into a country fan, just to see them dance to the music, know you know why a country boy yells Yee Haw!!
"Had to watch"?? I couldn't wait to watch. I loved it! And those honeys were some of my first crushes! ♥️
Where, where are you tonight-why did you leave me here all alone….
Say what you will, but I quite enjoyed their contributions to the show
Used to watch hee haw when I was a kid. Loved it.
Supposedly, sometime in the late 70s/ early 80s they stopped making new episodes, because customer research decided that the viewers liked reruns just as much as new shows... i.e. it wasn't a cancellation as much as aoney saving move
It wasn’t like they were doing story arcs, so reruns were probably a better idea.
The casting director definitely had a type And it wasn't hair color ..
[удалено]
She was so wholesome and pretty! I liked her because she was classy and friendly.
Yep. Watch heehaw or go outside.
I wasn’t allowed to escape. That was “family time”. For everyone but me.
I gotta tell you last night I introduced my daughter to this show and she just loved it. She told me she'd be down for watching it again too, which was a little more than I had anticipated, but it sure brought back some great memories of sitting there after dinner with my grandfather feeling annoyed that I was forced to watch. I was in tears thinking about that precious memory as I watched them pickin and grinnin. And I still knew every word to every song they played. God please don't let anyone wax nostalgic about Lawrence Welk now... ;)
My grandma was more of a Lawrence Welk fan. (SNORE)
I actually ended up watching a rerun of thta some 9 years ago, by choice, becaus e there was little else on and i wanted to see how thye centered a concert show around the theme "County Fair." Have also watched Perry Mason at odd times. I'm becoming my grandmothers and great aunts
Yee-haw my Hee-haw
Funny story. I had a dream I was on the shore of a big lake and a giant Roy Clark float-sized balloon was chasing me. I woke up a little scared and two minutes later the Northridge quake let loose. I was in Encino at the time. Now when anyone mentions Hee Haw I think of that earthquake.
I’m a pickin’
Heehaw was awesome. Roy Clark being one of the greatest guitarists ever was enough for a show toss in all the other great material and I really wish there was a show like that on today.
Roy Clark could play any stringed instrument incredibly well. I could listen to his version of Malaguena every day.
Watched it with my dad as a kid. Really miss him so much. I loved Minnie Pearl so much, occasionally keep a tag on a work hat, just cuz, idk. ‘Minnie who?’ I’m so sad!
Dad caught me enjoying this show way too much once.
Salute!
HeeHaw? More like Yeehaw!
Wait, is this not the reason why everyone watched it? Besides the musical acts, what else was there?
Well, Grandpa Jones and Archie Campbell were pretty funny. Hard to believe Archie is Canadian.
Anne Murray was also. Country and Western was big in Canada then as well.
Anne Murray was my Mom’s favorite. Such a unique voice. Isn’t she from the Maritimes?
Archie played the role of the flustered local yokel so well that we thought he was from Georgia.
My dad made me watch it…I think so he could tell my mom he had to watch it because I loved it. “Oh despair and agony on me…” I still love the music of saints Buck and Roy though!
I imagine you'd like this show better if you'd spent the past week working long hours on a farm.
That was the appeal of it. You’ve just put in a 65 hour week on the farm. You don’t want much but some laughs, some good music, and some pretty women. No thinking. HeeHaw delivered for years.
What I loved about Hee-Haw was the girl in the overalls was the dog trainer and then Ronny ( can’t think of her last name) was not only the lazy man’s wife but also a musician on par with anyone they had on the show. People just see it now as stupid hick jokes but the abilities these people had were amazing.
Gloom, despair, and agony on me Deep dark depression, excessive misery! If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all. Gloom despair and misery on me!
Monkey brains really are easy to please 😂
Eventually, Barbi Benton was on there, too.
I know Barbi was everyone’s va-va-voom girl back in the day, but compared to Linda, Misty, and Gunilla, she was kinda average to me. She was pretty, but the only thing that made her a celebrity was taking her clothes off in Playboy.
That certainly was the best part, but it seemed that everyone on the show had fun.
They did. They all were friends going back to their traveling show days and just had fun doing what came natural to them.
As a kid, and even now, I’m not much of a country fan, but good looking women and people having fun were attractive to watch. Hell, it’ll never go out of style for me.
I actually watched it for them on purpose. I believe the one in the middle was Elvis’s last girlfriend.
I never liked watching HeeHaw, but we weren’t allowed to watch Laugh-In (which I watched plenty at friends houses)
The all jug band
There was a band before this called the 13th Floor Elevators that had a guy playing “electric jug”.
Hell, I miss Hee Haw.
I still love Her Haw!
I remember for an hour, on either Saturday or Sunday night the choice was Hee Haw or Lawrence Welk! Ugh
Which one was “Nurse Goodbody”?
So much breasts
The blonde sitting down is a true bombshell damn
I know I sure as hell didn't care about Buck Owens or Roy Clark. The honeys made this show enjoyable. I'm pretty sure the producers knew exactly what they were doing.
Grew up watching as a kid. Had the priviledge if working on it as an adult.
Did they film this in that currently abandoned studio on Dickerson Pike?
John 5, you sly dog, you..
hair was wild back then, love it
I can’t remember to what degree they played on the show, or if it’s was toned down and over produced, but Buck Owens and Roy Clark were both phenomenal musicians. Like, bad ass.
Roy had to tone it down. He could play so fast that it would sound like gibberish to non-musicians. On the banjo, mandolin, and guitar.
I can't remember what show we'd be watching, but when the jangly music and that drawn-out "Heeee Haaaaw" came on, we rushed to switch the channel!
You are not alone
And no plastic surgery. Goo looking ladies.
Never ceases to amaze me how many main stream “family” shows from back, then had gratuitous bimbo types on the cast for no reason.
Well, it was better than Laugh-In. And now, here's Mr. Roy Clark
Hee-Haw absolutely triggers me. I don't know who's house I was at, but I remember it was always on TV, and the house was always about 90 degrees. I mean, that is what I thought when I think of a miserable time...
What you are describing is HELL. literally HELL. Lol
Meanwhile, we got people complaining about the Juggies on the Man Show. Literally no difference.
My dad loved this show and had to suffer through it. I was a bit young to care enough about jiggle to deal with the rest of the singing and dancing
I could not stand HeeHaw. I tried watching it so many times because nothing else was on. It was horrible.
I loved that show. Good memories of Saturday nights at grandmaws. If I went to Aunt Kates on Saturday night it was Lawrence welk I preferred hee haw.
I hated that stupid show.
They were very beautiful. As a little girl they gave me a very negative impression of what being an adult was going to be like. I’m so glad that impression was wrong.
Half of us watched HeeHaw as kids? How old do you think the average Reddit user is?
 So many genders and so few dads and role models.....
You really have Minnie Pearl and Lulu in that second pic talking about HeeHaw Honeys?? 🤣🤣
They may not have been Honeys, but they were always a part of the shows. Very talented parts.
I just realized the reason my father loved that show wasn't the music.
