re: Was Hee Haw a thing in Louisiana?

I watched it b/c my dad loved it. He is nos 88 years old and still watches Hee Haw reruns along with other old sitcoms.

The wonnderful World of Disney on Sunday evenings also holds a special nostalgic place in my heart and mind.

Simpler times indeed and a prayer that those days would will once again be the norm.

The fake old time phone number “BR 549” is a legacy of Hee Haw:

I remember thinking how fat Junior Samples was.

Now half of y’all are fatter and I’m subsidizing your obese asses’ healthcare.





PS: Stringbean went 0-2 against the Home Invaders

yes, yes it was.

my parents watched it all the time.

Roy Clark most underrated guitarist ever.

Hee Haw was a fixture of my childhood in Shreveport, and I get a little misty eyed reminiscing about it.

Sorta like when I start crying every time I hear Roy Clark singing "Yesterday When I Was Young."

Used to be must see tv on Saturday nights at grandparents house circa mid 70s

Worse show in the history of television, the only reason it ever had viewers is because they competed with soccer on Saturday/Sundays? about 30/40 years before soccer ever even started to take off in the US.

My parents didn’t like Hee Haw, but I do remember the intro. The best Saturdays followed the Fridays that Dad came home from work with a bag full of rented VHS movies. Kids today will never understand the excitement of sorting through that stack of rentals looking for the G/PG labels.

Back when the PG movies still had a few cuss words. The 80’s

I can still hear that song.
Mutual Of Omaha is people You can count on when the going's tough

We did not watch it. My Dad was a serious man and didn’t go too much for silliness. We watched Disney on Sundays and Wild Kingdom and such. The old sitcoms Andy Griffith,All in the Family,Sanford and Son.
