Lol! Add me to that list. When I was growing up during the late 70's and early 80's my parents would watch Hee-Haw every Saturday evening like clockwork, as a Generation X kid who was into Atari and Rock music, Hee-Haw was embarrassingly backward and hokey to my "modern" sensibilities. However, since back in those days there was only one TV in the house, I complained but watched anyway.
Now when I see a Hee-Haw rerun, I often stop and watch it, there is something comforting about about the simplicity and wholesomeness of it that I miss.
Buck and Roy were extremely fine musicians.
Though I never have warmed-up to my reruns of my grandmother’s Lawrence Welk Program.
Fun fact: Hee Haw was taped curing 2 one week blocks in June and October. They’d set up one set and knock out a season’s worth of, say, barber shop sketches, in a day an then move on to the next setup. Editors would then piece together each episode for broadcast.
