Up here in New York, Hee Haw was a staple in our house...my mom was just getting into country music in the 70s. Now I've never been a big country music fan myself but I still have a fondness for the stars of the Hee Haw era and find myself humming the tunes of Charlie Pride, Kenny Rogers and Conway Twitty every now and then. My brother and I enjoyed Hee Haw at our age for a different reason than the music though back then...the "corny" humor and the Hee-Haw Honeys.
Recently I caught a Hee Haw marathon on CMT and was disappointed that the majority of the shows were later ones from around the Garth Brooks era of country music...and most of the Hee Haw Honeys I was familiar with had been replaced with new chicks. Plus, no Junior Samples, Archie Campbell, Buck Owens....kind of a letdown.
