Hee Haw
A CBS television variety show produced by Buck Owens featuring Country music and down-home humor that aired from 1969-1992.
Hee Haw really was a comedy-variety show that was ahead of its time, and helped to pave the way for other variety shows such as Saturday Night Live, Fridays, In Living Color, and Mad TV.
The series was one of the last network shows with a rural theme, and one of the first true variety shows centered exclusively on country music. Throughout its brief network run on CBS (and immediately followed by a more successful run in syndication), Hee Haw, hosted by Owens and Roy Clark, not only featured comedy sketches with a repertory cast that included Minnie Pearl, Junior Samples, Gailard Sartain, and an uncredited George Lindsay (reprising his "Goober" character from The Andy Griffith Show), but was also a showcase for country stars of the day, many of which have continued their successful careers into the new century.
But as television viewing habits changed and the emergence of music video channels such as MTV and VH1 came into being in the 1990s, interest in such shows as Hee Haw began to swell down, and the show was finally cancelled in 1992.
