Trivia:

The phone number for Junior Samples' used car sales skit on Hee Haw was "BR-549" and he held up a crude white sign at the end of the skit with the number painted on it, which later in real life became the name of a country music group. When DVDs of the show were marketed on TV in the '90s, the number to call to purchase them was 1-800-BR54949. See more »
