Hee Haw

[Scott]

When I was little in the 70's there was a show called HEE HAW that was on Saturday evenings. At the time I couldn't stand it but it was the only thing on TV at that hour so I watched it often. One of my favorite routines they did was the "Pfft you were gone" segment.

We never missed HEE HAW at my house . . . I watched it and tolerated it, but far and away my FAVORITE show growing up was THE CAROL BURNET SHOW . . . I still think it is the best comedy/variety show of all time.

Yep, I liked THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW. Especially Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.

Another great HEE HAW reoccurring musical skit:

My grandmother (the one who believed the moonlandings were a hoax and Amy Carter was severely mentally defective) refused to watch HEE HAW after Lulu Roman got arrested for drug possession.

Here in Michigan,on Saterdays,back in the early seventies, was a local show broadcast from Decauter (Michigan...of course),called GREEN VALLY JAMBOREE with Rem Walt and the Green Vally Boys. Afterwards they played HEE HAW...and after that was an early shoeing of the local (Kalamazoo) SHOCK THEATER. My Dad would watch it every Saterday. I always liked when Skeeter Davis would swat her drunk ol'man while ironing.

My favorite was Grandpa Jones . I liked Junior too.

One my favorite things about Hee Haw is the Hee Haw Honeys.

I used to get a kick out of Charlie Farquharson (AKA Don Harron).

In Canada, he's also known as a stand-alone comedy act (and can still be booked for functions). I used to have a couple of his albums as a kid.

Some of the regular Hee Haw bits actually make me laugh more now than they did at the time. "Plfllflflt, you was gone" has always been a favourite. The gossip intro was funny too (you'll never hear one of us repeating gossip, so you'd better be sure and listen close the first time). And I used to get a kick out of those short, single-joke sketches with the father and daughter, where the punchline always involved some abuse he's recently inflicted on her boyfriend.

My favorite is the bit that goes

"Gloom, despair, an' agony on me (groan!)
Deep dark depression, excessive misery (groan!)

If it weren't fer bad luck, ah'd have no luck a'tall (groan!)
Gloom, despair, an' a-gun-y ahwn meeee!"

[trekgeezer]

They also did this little song, which I can remember the lyrics to


Gloom, despair, and agony on me,

Deep dark depression, excessive misery

If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all

Gloom, despair, and agony on me.

I'd look for a youtube of it, but right now I'm at home on dial up.

I posted a clip of that song in my first post in this thread.

Doom, despair, and agony on me <"AUOOOOH!"

HEE HAW BABYLON:

Here in Nashville, the murder of "Stringbean" is still in the headlines:

The Porter Wagoner Show was also big at our house:

I wish Jack Palance's appearance (where he sings "The Green Green Grass of Home" and "Blackjack County Chains"!) was on YouTube.

Hee Haw was required viewing on my house growing up. Grandpa Jones was from my home town and appeared at many of the fairs and parades.
I was in lust with the Hee Haw Honey's.
