Pickin' and grinnin', singin' and spinnin' tall tales and corny jokes. the citzens of Kornfield Kounty landed on television in 196 with the arrival of Hee Haw as summer replacement series for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Each week co-hosts Buck Owens and Roy Clark and the cast of comedians and musicians would welcome the biggest stars in country music to perform their songs and help deliver the one-liners. Conceived as a rural laternative to Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, Hee Haw ranked in the top 20 nation wide when CBS dropped the show in 1971 in an attempt to "de-countrify" the network's programming. It was quickly picked up and became the longest-ruunning weekly syndicated sieries in television history. The last "new" episode aired in 1992. Looks like the non-network executives had the last hee-haw.
