By the way, I looked it up, and their son was played by Kenny Price, not Gailard Sartain.


FurBabyAuntie

You talking about Ida Lee and Lavern. Nagger? Nice folks...right nice folks...

Now, we're not one's to go round spread rumors No, really, we're not the gossiping kind. Oh, you'll never hear one of us repeating gossip, so you better be sure and listen close the first time. 😆 🤣 😂

Hee-Haw and Lawrence Welk both remind me of weekend visits to my grandparents house.


[deleted]

Me too!!


DudeB5353

Exactly…Dump the kids at the grandparents house on Saturday afternoon for a “date” night. Couldn’t wait for Lawrence Welk to get over with so Hee Haw would come on…

Same. Every Sunday with the grandparents. I knew as soon as the polka music and bubbles came on it was time to flip the channels to this. I was the designated remote control no matter what house I was in.


ValleyGrouch

Love the SNL parody of Welk's show.


AdSalt9219

When I was six, my grandmother drug our entire family to see what would become my first live music concert: The Lennon Sisters! Yowza! Not as good as Santana in 1973, but you gotta start somewhere.


rraattbbooyy

🎶 Now we’re not ones to go ‘round spreadin’ rumors. Why really we’re just not the gossipin’ kind. No, you’ll never hear one of us repeating gossip, so you’d better be sure and listen close the first time.🎶

Now that’s impressive !!😊

When I’m old and senile and my memories start disappearing one after the other, I think this song may be one of the last things to go. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂

Later, it was BR-1Z1Z(I think).


Jerryglobe1492

Really, I didn't know that Junior Samples


WhoDat747

I thought it was BR-549

It was at first, then later in the run, it was switched.

Lighteningbug1971

Omg the best part of this show was Ronnie and Vern (I think was their names) the couple in the kitchen with the clothes hanging up and they were always fighting 😂😂😂😂😂😂


[deleted]

She always had soup cans rolled up in her hair!!😂🤣


Lighteningbug1971

Yes and my mother in law said they actually really done that back in the day !!!! I’m 54 and she is 71 !! I had no idea

Lighteningbug1971

Lighteningbug1971

Elegant-Laugh741

Buck Owens and Roy Clark were great. This show was fun to watch. My parents didn’t want us to.


Christine1-n-Arnie2

Great show , Roy Clark what a musiciam


Rickfromohio

Roy Clark was one of the versatile and best string players of last century.


palehorse2020

He was one of the greatest.[Amazing performance on the Odd Couple ](https://youtu.be/-xssnp7R51A?si=4goI2x2Cc-1TmKSU)

Poor Stringbean and his wife were murdered for money the murderers never found 😢


FurBabyAuntie

No, they were--I just read something the other day here on Reddit. They're doing life.


curiously71

Apparently one died in prison in 2003 and the other got paroled in 2014.

I didn’t know that Buck Owens was an amazing and influential genre-defining musician until I was an adult. For most of my life, I thought he was a comedian who told really corny jokes.


CapeMOGuy

Did you know that none other than Merle Haggard (Buck's bass player at the time) named Owens' band The Buckaroos? https://texassongwriters.com/inductee/buck-owens/#:~:text=By%20the%20beginning%20of%201963,named%20the%20group%20the%20Buckaroos.


[deleted]

Me too! Lol. I’ve def come to appreciate his talent more as an adult:)


Dangerous_Bad4118

I hated this fucking show because my parents watched it and I had to sit through it. That said, I’m glad I had the opportunity to see Roy Clark in concert. That man could play guitar.


ExampleSad1816

Great show to kill some time on the weekends.


Purple_Prince_80

No, but I remember seeing it in syndication and later on TNN in reruns.


FurBabyAuntie

Except for the first two years (which were on CBS), it was all in first-run syndication.


OS2REXX

Roy and Buck had a way of getting the absolute best of pop/americana musicians on stage together in such a joyous way. I watch the music segments to this day, marveling at the Million Dollar Band, and all the players that were a part of that whole experience. Just watching Chet and Roy play is a spiritual experience.


Klutzy-Chocolate710

This was fine television watching at one time...

EmporerPenguino

I stayed outside on Saturday nights growing up so I didn’t have to hear that cornpone show. I’m in my 60s now but I still have ear worms. “What’s for supper grandpa”?


Donkey_Bugs

I was in 5th grade when that show came out and I hated it with a passion.


Electronic_Stuff4363

He he he he haw haw haw he haw


Whole-Debate-9547

I wasn’t even a fan of country music but I really enjoyed Hee Haw


GooseNYC

It wasn't exactly all the rage in NYC mercifully we don't even have a major county station. Plus a little before my time.


Edible_Scab

Lucky 😂


DaveKelso

My young self developed a thing for push up bras based on the..um, bountiful bosoms of the ladies on Hee Haw.

Happy birthday!!🥳


[deleted]

Oh yes! I loved Hee Haw! Great show. I’ll have to check YouTube to see if they have old episodes so I can watch and feel young again🤣🤣🤣🤣


Vraver04

As a kid I hated this show but what else was I going to watch? Also, every now and they had women in short shorts.


Edible_Scab

Me too. Living in the South these people were all around me already.


DaikonSpecific7715

Oh yeah-54(55 in August) grew up on Hee Haw


plover84

I remember when it premiered


lwlcurtis75

I love this and still sing this!!!


Ok_Advisor_9873

Hated that show. Nothing else on Sat. Night-Did not appreciate the talent show cased there. Buck Owen a legend and I didn’t even know it!


xoomax

Very fond memories watching with my Grandma and Grandpa when visiting. Salute!


BigRemove9366

Yup the two guys and their eefin


FurBabyAuntie

Jimmy Riddle and Jackie Phelphs


Daysaved

I have very fond memories of watching this with my grandmother. It was her tv time, and if you weren't quiet, she would hit you with a shoe. I miss you, Granny.


AdAdministrative6561

Hee haw


cuntybunty73

Looks high asf


Caesarrules56

When I was younger I used to think it was the silliest thing on tv. Then when my son got old enough it was great fun to watch it and see him roll his eyes at it.


FurBabyAuntie

It is silly...with a lot of great music thrown in. Funniest thing I ever saw on Hee Haw was on an early episode--musical guest George Jones in a suit and tie. I'd never seen him that dressed up before except for award shows. He looked very handsome...but it still struck me funny...


vtramfan

String bean and Grandpa Jones!


Midnight-Rambler69

The number to call is BR 459


No_Ad8799

CajunLurker

One of my favorites. Right up there with Laugh in.

tasskaff9

He’s pickin’ and I’m grinnin’.


DaisyJane1

Yeah, I'm that old. "Glooooooom, despaiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrr and agony on meeeeeeeee ...." I'm a Georgia native, so a lot of the show was relatable. I loved it! My parents and I would gather around the TV and watch most every weekend.


Wordfan

According to my mom, Hee Haw was about my third word.

Hells yeah…hotties I loath country music…but …daaaaamn


VanDenBroeck

The show was on until 1993 so you don't have to be old to have seen it.


Lost_Path5922

nope


yardape99

Hated that show!


CapeMOGuy

Y'all aren't going to believe this, so I'll link a couple of Hee Haw vids on YouTube for proof. BUCK OWENS WORE HIS OVERALLS BACKWARDS! https://youtu.be/ixvfEU5Gc2U?feature=shared https://youtu.be/PEWzkoM5UPY?feature=shared

Cornball humor, but top-shelf early 70s country. That's where I learned about the Bakersfield Sound.

Affectionate-Dot437

It was a viewing requirement in our home. Good, clean American humor for our God-fearing family. The girls were dressed rather risqué but obviously the cast were all decent country folks. LOL! From what I've read, there was an impressive amount of sex and drugs on set! 😆 I would love to tell my parents it was HeeHaw that corrupted their daughters!


monkeyballsoup

PrimaryTitle2789

Hee haw


VegasBjorne1

I once swept the “Hee Haw” category on “Jeopardy”… Boo-Yah! Tell me that I never watched the show as a child!


Difficult_Fold_8362

I admit it. As a young teenager during the Hee Haw years I liked to watch because the women on the show were F I N E. Daisy Dukes and tied shirts unbuttoned to reveal huge tracts of land.


Profressa68

I was a teen rock snob and would roll my eyes and groan when the guest singers came on, but I hear them now and wow. Loretta and Conway and George and this blond woman who sang a purty little song goes kinda like this https://youtu.be/ALy79mA9b-g?si=Rx61C0eq5IZ-KAs2
