You bring me back to my childhood. Mom and stepdad would watch Hee Haw and then watch the Dukes of Hazzard and The Incredible Hulk. They would tune in on their stereo to catch the Grand Ole Opra when LSU wasn’t playing football.

critics hated it because it was seen as "conservative" compared to Laugh-In, and anything not anti-Nixon had to be squelched
Great read and agree with all that. What’s funny/ironic is that some people will argue that Nixon going on Laugh-In in ‘68 and saying, “Sock it to... me?!” made him seem more personable and got him a lot of votes. I tend to think that’s probably correct.

That’s very cool. Buck used to broadcast his live Saturday night shows from the Crystal Palace on his website. I’m thankful that I got to listen to him live the same night he passed away. One of the greats.

Anybody that grew up in the Deep South that remembers only having ABC, CBS, and NBC available to watch should remember Hee Haw. My maternal grandparents loved it. And yes OP life was much more simple and this country was much safer. Especially for children to wander about freely without worry.

Its syndication was an enormous business success, as hundreds of local stations bought it.
That definitely explains why the air times mentioned in this thread are all over the map. I remember it airing on Channel 9 in Baton Rouge at 5:00 pm on Saturdays.

Louisiana had the Louisiana Hayride which preceded Hee Haw. I barely remember my grandparents watching Hee Haw and Louisiana Hayride was before my time.

I would be at my grandparents house and watch it with them.

My wife and I both remember watching Hee Haw growing up. Of course, it's corny humor--the whole point of corny humor is to be bad. That's what makes it funny. Some particular bits became the 70's version of memes in our families: "pffft, you were gone", "Gloom, despair, and agony on me," & "BR-549".
Even today, when we are traveling and cross a state line, we say "Welcome to (new state), SAAA-LUTE!". Our kids do it because we did it, and they had no idea where it came from.
And yet, we are three pages in and this photo hasn't been posted?
The Rant is off today.

Hee Haw was good but no where as exciting as Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom!
The weekend block in most markets was Hee Haw/Wild Kingdom/Lawrence Welk. That would lead you into Saturday night prime, since a lot of towns didn't have Saturday evening news and ABC was the only network with Saturday sports programming in the afternoons/evening.

I went inside to the gift shop where there was a large seating area and a TV for the truckers. The place was packed with guys watching Hee-Haw. They laughed at every joke like it was their first time seeing comedy.
Was Hee Haw a thing in Louisiana?

This.
I don't remember which station in New Orleans had it, but I remember watching Hee-Haw and Wild Kingdom with my grandfather before he moved in with us. I thought it was WWL, channel 4 that had these three.

Oh, yeah. Who didn't want to welcome Grampa Jones, Stringbean, and Tennessee Ernie Ford into their homes? The Gospel Quartet with Roy Clark was great.

Thank you for this bro. The older I get, the more of this I do. Everything you described reminded me of my youth. Hee Haw was never missed, but growing up in BR, neither was "Dixie Rasslin" on Sunday mornings. Thanks

Yep, we'd watch it all the time along with the Dukes of Hazzard, Incredible Hulk, and Dallas.
The one on the far right in yellow was always the favorite of my 6 year old self.

It was on during the day here and I watched it for most of my childhood (born in 71).
I shite you not, these Californians have idea what to think when I spontaneously burst out a good hearty "Where oh where are you tonight?" on some some construction site. And invariably there's some other southern traveler working there that will join in.
I watched Soul Train almost as much. Not quite, but still a good bit.

She's the only one who looks like she doesn't belong on the farm.
Maybe that brunette on the bottom left too.
