Our Red Hatters group decided as a theme for next years reunion to be Hee Haw. When I received the DVD I played it. I had forgotten how funny and silly the show was. We will have a good time dressing like the stars in the show. We are even trying to find a Hound dog to put on stage.

The image used in the ad was NOT the item I received. I thought I purchased a used HEE HAW DVD, but instead it was a very used library copy loaded with security devices, library stickers, etc. I planned on giving it as a gift and had to make up a ridiculous excuse why it looked the way it did (I trimmed away all of the ugly labels) when I eventually gave it to its recipient. While I like the contents of the DVD, everything else was no good.

Only wine improves with time. I got this disk to see if that old country version of Ed Sullivan, called Hee Haw, was better or worse given the vantage point of history. At its best, HH could in fact be funny, sexy, irreverent, and even fun to listen to. Plus, it did have "a heart", bringing the "grand ole opry" spirit to tv. The grand ole opry was unique in that it was the zenith of country music, yet (unlike say Carnegie Hall for classical musicians) the performers normally did not demonstrate a complete mastery of their craft...in other words, anyone could do it. But that was what was(and is) great about country music versus, say, rock.

Anyway, if you want to see Hee Haw again, this disk certainly does that. It is just a piece of the giant (Hee Haw series) pie and thus is by no means the best. To pick the best would be a difficult task, but I would love to do it...

Fast shipping on new DVDs of Hee Haw shows of the 70's. I purchased them for ideas for a skit.
