Hee Haw

Hee Haw  was an American television variety show featuring country music and humor with fictional rural “Kornfield Kounty” as a backdrop.  It aired on CBS from 1969–1971 followed by a 21-year run in local syndication.  The show was inspired by Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, the major difference being that Hee Haw was far less topical, and was centered on country music and rural culture.  Hosted by country artists Buck Owens and Roy Clark for most of the series’ run, the show was equally well known for its voluptuous, scantily clad women in stereotypical farmer’s daughter outfits and country-style minidresses (a group that came to be known as the “Hee Haw Honeys”), and its corn pone humor.  Hee Haw’s appeal, however, was not limited to a rural audience.  It was successful in all of the major markets, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Chicago.  (More from Wikipedia)
