Hee Haw 10th Anniversary Celebration

Hee Haw 10th Anniversary Celebration

0 - Default Title
Description
In the summer of 1969, HEE HAW moseyed into the CBS time slot occupied by The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour . Conceived as a rural alternative to Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In , the show ranked in the top 20 nationally when CBS pulled the plug in 1971. But co-hosts Buck Owens and Roy Clark, along with the whole Kornfield Kountry gang, sang and joked on in syndication. In 1978, they grinned at the critics in a two-hour 10th-Anniversary shindig, which was videotaped with an audience of invited guests and fans at the Grand Ole Opry House. Mixing nostalgia with new performances by country music's biggest stars, this special edition of HEE HAW never misses the funnybone.
Here's one for you trivia buffs - Did you know that
KENNY ROGERS met his wife
MARIANNE GORDON while visiting the HEE HAW set? Kenny elaborates and then does himself proud with The Gambler , one of the biggest hits of 1978. As for Gordon - she's part of the show's tribute to the easy-on-the-eyes <i<HEE HAW Girls.
JUNIOR SAMPLES gets his due in a flashback sequence that shows his rare ability to mangle the English language when reading a cue card. Turning serious, HEE HAW pays its respects to former cast members who passed on.
GRANDPA JONES honors his good friend and old fishin' buddy
STRINGBEAN , while
BUCK OWENS remembers his music partner and best friend of 16 years.
DON RICH , with a medley of hits that made both of them famous.
A lot happened on the show in ten years - just check out the video montage of reliable HEE HAW guest artist
TAMMY WYNETTE singing her way through a parade of striking outfits and memorable hairdos. Legendary guitar pickers
MERLE TRAVIS and
CHET ATKINS also drop by. You'll never guess who gives Chet a kiss when he finishes his number. Another segment covers the celebrities who joined
ARCHIE CAMPBELL for the popular song routine Pfft! You Were Gone .
