Country Music's best Variety show

Back in the seventies I used to watch Hee Haw every Saturday afternoon before Lawrence Welk on CHCH which was station in Hamilton that syndicated both shows. I didn't care much about the comedy but the music was the only thing that made that show great. It's unfortunate you don't see shows of this magnitude unless you have the right people that can make a good show successful. Hee Haw was on for a very longtime which it's run ended in the early nineties which marked an end of an era that lasted over 20 years. It's great the got some DVD's that are now re-leasing the Hee Haw shows from the late 60's to the early seventies. A show like Hee Haw can revive itself by hiring some WWE Diva wannabe's that like to show their assets for television.
