{"product_id":"unknown-hee-haw-10th-anniversary-celebration-0610583323498","title":"Hee Haw 10th Anniversary Celebration","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 \u0026amp; 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. \u003cbr\u003eHere's one for you trivia buffs - Did you know that \u003cbr\u003eKENNY ROGERS met his wife \u003cbr\u003eMARIANNE 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 \u0026lt;i\u0026lt;HEE HAW Girls. \u003cbr\u003eJUNIOR 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. \u003cbr\u003eGRANDPA JONES honors his good friend and old fishin' buddy \u003cbr\u003eSTRINGBEAN , while \u003cbr\u003eBUCK OWENS remembers his music partner and best friend of 16 years. \u003cbr\u003eDON RICH , with a medley of hits that made both of them famous. \u003cbr\u003eA lot happened on the show in ten years - just check out the video montage of reliable HEE HAW guest artist \u003cbr\u003eTAMMY WYNETTE singing her way through a parade of striking outfits and memorable hairdos. Legendary guitar pickers \u003cbr\u003eMERLE TRAVIS and \u003cbr\u003eCHET 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 \u003cbr\u003eARCHIE CAMPBELL for the popular song routine Pfft! You Were Gone .","brand":"Time Life Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53921981137238,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/unknown-hee-haw-10th-anniversary-celebration-0610583323498","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
