Pickin' and grinnin', singin' and spinnin' tall tales and corny jokes, the citizens of Kornfield Kounty landed on television in 1969 with the arrival of Hee Haw as a summer replacement series for the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Each week co-hosts Buck Owens and Roy Clark and the cast of comedians and musicians would welcome the biggest stars in country music to perform their songs and help deliver the one-liners. Conceived as a rural alternative to Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, Hee Haw ranked in the top 20 nationwide when CBS dropped the show in 1971 in an attempt to "de-countrify" the network's programming. It was quickly picked up and became the longest-running weekly syndicated original series in television history. The last "new" episode aired in 1992. Looks like the non-network executives had the last hee-haw.

The "Man in Black," country music legend Johnny Cash, covers familiar territory with one of his old favorites, Big River, as well as the ever-popular City of New Orleans. Grand Ole Opry star Jean Shepard revisits her two honky-tonkin' hits from 1973, Slippin' Away and Come on Phone. Formere Mayberry RFD and The Andy Griffith Show regular George "Goober" Lindsey talks, sings, swigs and dances his way through the good old jug-band tune Mountain Dew.
