HEE HAW - DVD-COLLECTION-VOLUME 7-GEORGE STRAIT

Details

• Release Year: 1976
• Genre: Comedy, Musical
• Plot: Pickin' and grinnin', singin' and spinnin' tall tales and corny jokes, the citizens of Kornfield Kounty landed on television in 1969 with the arrival of HEE HAW as a 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 alternative to Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, HEE HAW ranked in the top 20 nationwide 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-running weekly syndicated original series in television history. The last 'new' episode aired in 1992. Looks like the non-network executives had the las hee-haw.

On the same show the STATLER BROTHERS unveiled their newest sibling, Jimmy Fortune, who handled the high harmonies. They delivered an original number Guilty, then turned bass man Harold Reid loose for a visit back to the '50s with Oh Baby Mine (I Get So Lonely).
