The Hee Haw Collection

The 411:

Maybe I am showing my age but I watched Hee Haw all the time and loved it as a kid. The skits were fun and every moment except the musical acts was really quick to keep you interested and watching.  Kind of like Laugh In or Sha Na Na but for country music loving folks. 

These DVDs totally brought me back to my youth and I loved watching performances by Dolly, Conway Twitty, Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lyn singing songs I haven't heard in ages. 

I kept thinking how different things were back then. Singers would come on these small budget shows to showcase themselves for their fans hoping to gain others all for album sales. I couldn't see this happening in this day and age.

There was definitely a cult following and I think at the time I didn't realize anything other than I loved country music and these were my people. 

Now watching I see it was fun, witty, good clean fun with some of the biggest performers of the time.  The satire skits showed people who didn't take themselves too seriously and had a good time with each other. It was like one big family and that was how I felt watching it as a kid and now as an adult.
