I admit it. I used to watch Hee Haw when I was a kid. And I thought it was funny.
saaaaaaaaaaaa-lute!
Kinda creepy the stuff we thought was funny, hmmm?
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 me.
I didn’t watch it for the humor. I watched it for the women.
Schaaaaawing! They had some real babes on that show.
I saw Grandpa Jones in concert at the state fair and got his autograph. Oh yeah - I saw Roy Clark too. That man can play!
Just give us a call…BR-549
I’ll be even more specific. I watched it for the boobs.
Well, yeah, but see, that way we don’t know whether you were looking at the men or the women…
Good point. They were ALL boobs on that show.
I myself watched it for the legs. The women’s legs. Although, come to think of it, that String Bean guy had some pretty shapely calves.
I watched it when I was little because my dad watched it, and he would sometimes let me have a sip of his beer.
Hee hee, hee Haw Haw.
I would like to invite anyone who ever ventures near the Atlanta area to take a trip to the lovely hamlet of Cumming, GA, an hour or so north–birth and final resting place of that Hee-Haw icon Junior Samples.
BTW, Gennifer Flowers, in her best-selling autobio, said that she had toured for a while with Roy Clark, and that he’s quite a ladies man, with a girlfriend in every town.
Heck yeah I watched it.
I was at a conference in Nashville about ten years ago, and our keynote speaker was to be Sarah Cannon, the woman who plays Minnie Pearl. I thought, what an insult, having Minnie Pearl speak to us? I mean, come ON!
But you know what? She remains one of the best speakers I’ve ever heard. She was funny, and wise, and very good with timing things for a crowd’s reaction.
Where, where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and thought I found true love.
You met another and 
you were gone!
Wow, that brings back memories. All the boys in my elementary school classes would walk around constantly singing that.
Barbi Benton!
rrrrowwrrrr!
Yes, but do any of you remember the Porter Wagoner Show? The pompadours and bouffants on that show were unrivaled. And the women had big hair, too.
Sadly (as I’m sure you know), Sarah Cannon passed away several years ago. For a long while, there was a lovely little Minnie Pearl museum at Opryland in Nashville. Now that it’s Opry Mills, I don’t know if the museum is still there or not. If it is, you should check it out next time you’re in Nashville (if you haven’t already).
We’re not ones to go around spreadin’ rumors.
Really, we’re just not the gossipin’ kind.
You’ll never hear one of us repeatin’ gossip.
So you better listen close the first time.
Mostly what I remember about Porter Wagoner’s program was–no, not Dolly–but Speck Rhodes, a little guy (possibly the source of the “Speck” sobriquet), who wore a very loud Herb Tarlek sorta outfit topped off with a bowler. And he was easily one of the worst “comedians” to ever land a steady gig (we’re talking 20 years!:eek: ).
BTW, I also have a copy of Porter Wagoner’s classic record “The Ballad of George Leroy Chickashea,” which is about a poor fellow who’s constantly at odds with the law. He’s part white, part black, and part (American) Indian, and carries a .38, a switchblade, and a tomahawk.
