Each of the famous variety-show episodes will feature some of country music's biggest stars from the shows inception in 1969, until it's end in 1991.

Look, I'm not a big country fan but this show was great!

Thanks for your tolerance, everyone.

You've posted on the national television board, so it's ok.
An all new Hee haw should come back.
Perhaps not on a major network, but hey?
A 500 channel universe out there, and no room for it?

Actually, he posted it on the Connecticut state Radio Board; it was moved here by the Managing Board Editor.

I don't see Hee Haw ever coming back new. That was another show for another time. Hee Haw just doesn't play well in a hip-hop culture, nor even in the modern Country culture. I think The Blue-Collar Comedy Tour is about as close as you're going to get.

You really think that in an era where Tim Mcgraw appears on a hip-hop album and a surreal act from somewhere out by the Pillars of Hercules like Big and Rich, Hee Haw couldn't thrive with special guests like the Dixie Chicks popping out of the corn field???

I don't really and truly think that Hee Haw as a new show would survive at all. Remember in 1991 when Hee Haw fired most all of its cast and dropped all mention of the cornfield and replaced it with a modern mall? That seemed to tick much of the audience who had enjoyed the show the way it was before,but this lasted only a season before it was cancelled for good,and Hee Haw Silver came on in 1992-1993 which was reruns of Hee Haw with Roy Clark and various others introducing the shows like they have done with reruns of Lawrence Welk. After that,TNN carried the reruns on Saturday nights from 1994 to 1997.

Also I noticed that CMT has only rights to 10 episodes of Hee Haw and appears as marathons throughout the month of August. Do they only have rights to just 10 episodes or all episodes?

I do wish also that Time-Life would continue in producing more DVD's of Hee Haw. I have enjoyed all of the episodes from the CBS years and the early syndicated years.

Having the Dixie Chicks in the cornfield is what will get the new version cancelled in a heartbeat. Although I wouldn't mind Jessica Simpson playing one of the Hee Haw Honeys. Actually, I just want to see the fence board smack Jessica in the behind after telling one of those corny "I crossed something and look what I got" jokes.

Just as long as they spare us another appearance of Loni Anderson...
