OMFG! From Time-Life! The Hee Haw Collection! Digitally Remastered!

[edbermac]

I just saw this infomercial with Roy Clark on the tube a few days ago. Roy tells us about the classic Hee Haw humor(?) that will keep us in stitches for hours and hours if we get these DVDs; I probably won't get them, even though they are digitally remastered for SUPERIOR sound and picture quality, they are NOT letterboxed!

Anyway when they are, it'll be best to watch them with the sound off, especially when the Hee Haw Honeys are on-screen...a perfect gift for your favorite freeper...idiotic humor, beer-swilling fat rednecks with no teeth, worse-than-elevator music, hot babes in tight cutoffs, and not a darkie in sight...

:wtf:

1. Why do I feel someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

Washington, D.C., has already ordered a copy of this?

[Bluzmann57]

2. While I have no intention of buying it...

Hee Haw was a funny show and Roy Clark is a fine guitar and banjo player.

[quispquake]

10. Roy Clark actually started as Wanda Jackson's guitar player...

Playing some of the HOTTEST rockabilly ever!!!

14. I grew up with Hee Haw ...

My Dad likes both kinds of music ... Country And Western.

I'm not a big fan of Hee Haw (more than a novelty).

Roy Clark is one hell of a guitar player. He may have inspired me to learn to play the guitar when I was younger.

I watched a television show that featured just him and his guitar (he might have had someone sit in with him at some point). I was absolutely blown away by his guitar skills. He was literally able to make his guitar talk, sing, cry, sound like a train, etc. When you take him out of the Cheezey, Commercialized, Hee Haw set you see the true musical genius that he was.

4. Oh! We're not ones to go 'round spreadin' gossip

In fact, we're not the gossiping kind!
No, you'll never hear one of us repeating gossip,
So you'd better be sure and listen close the first time!

With lyrics like that, what's not to love??? :D

6. Where, oh where...

Are you tonight,
Why did you leave me here all alone,
I searched the world over,
And thought I found true love,
You met another,
And Pfffrt you were gone... :D

[Not_Giving_Up]

12. Dang it, you stole mine

Of course, when I was a kid, I thought he searched the world over and thought he found TRULA...I thought he was looking for her.

[Archae]

5. I'll buy them!

I loved that show!

[Amaya]

7. Hey, I like that show

gonna order me a copy today :)

8. Your attitude is one reason why the Democratic Party is running second

in Southern states. Keep it up and we'll be smaller than the Green Party.

16. 'Chyeah no shit.

Meanwhile, somewhere else on DU, someone's asking "why do they call us the elitist party?"

[Bridget Burke]

19. Hey, they're saving up for "Susan Sontag's Greatest Hits"

Coming soon to an infomercial near you!

[Bridget Burke]

9. Pioneering alt.country band BR549 were certainly fans!

I confess that I enjoyed the show a bit.

Just not enough to buy the DVD....

[terrya]

11. "I'm a pickin'...and I'm a grinnin'!" and I'm not a-buying.

God, like I'd want to ever relive THAT.

[LoZoccolo]

13. In the same post where you ridicule /Hee-Haw/ fans as idiots...

...you post your sentiments about being unimpressed that the DVD is not letterboxed.

[BigMcLargehuge]

15. I grew up watching that at my grandparents house

Now if they can just get a digitally remastered set of the Lawrence Welk show...

[terrya]

17. Now, that's a show I also remember quite well.

I grew up on "The Lawrence Welk Show", also. There's a lot to cringe about...the sheer "white bread" of the "Lawrence Welk Family" (except for Arthur Duncan, who was...sort of stereotypical). Just the blandness of it all (excluding Tom Netherton, who may have been one of the prettiest men to ever grace a television screen. :-))

18. Bob Boatman, the director of HeeHaw, was a close

friend of my family until his untimely death a few years back. Bob was killed by a stray bullet in a shooting in LA. After he finished Hee Haw, he retired and spent the rest of his life travelling and donating his vast wealth to charitable causes. Bob Boatman was one of the nicest, kindest men I ever met in my life.

The Hager twins from HeeHaw are very politically active, but not in Repuke politics. Jim Hager has been fighting suburban sprawl the past several years.

I can go on and on about many other mebers of the HeeHaw family who are progressives, not to mention a large portion of the show's audience who are also progressives.

Silly stereotypes like the ones you cast about so easily don't stand up to reality. If we plan on winning any more elections, we need to start playing in the real world.

21. I was a Hee Haw fan as a kid...

didn't have much choice--it was my dad's favorite show. Thanks for the info about the people on the show.

22. There's a site called Music Row Democrats. . .

www.musicrowdemocrats.com

that's worth looking into.

20. Actually I loved a lot of that show

My Dad, who was a lawyer, thought it was hilarious. Until, of course that fateful day when he got home late from work, and I was watching Monty Python. His face was priceless. He kept saying "Who are these Guys?" He never missed it after that.

24. I'm from Bakersfield, CA

I HAD to watch it! :silly:

[SKKY]

23. Sweet! Now I've got something to do after I watch 'rastlin on TBS.
