You've seen the infomercials and you remember these shows from your childhood, but have you added them to your Christmas wish list yet? I was watching the commercial for THE HEE HAW COLLECTION a few weeks ago and my dad was laughing hilariously the entire time. Watching that commercial reminded me of so many childhood memories. I remember watching the show as a child. To be honest, I don't think I understood much of what I was watching, but I sure thought it was funny!
Today in the spirit of remembering the awesomeness of old TV shows I am sharing some of my favorite shows as well as a few gift reccomendations.

Roy Clark and Buck Owens hosted the countrified ensemble show, pickin’ and grinnin’ and singin’ and spinnin’ with a talented cast of characters. Minnie Pearl, Grandpa Jones, Archie Campbell, and the rest of the Hee Haw gang traded knee-slappers and gut-busting one-liners in hilarious sketches including “Doc Campbell,” “PFFT! You Were Gone” and “Gordie’s General Store”—as well as the all-time favorites “Rindercella” and “Trigonometry.”
And because Hee Haw was a favorite stop for country’s greatest stars, the collection features over 100 classic performances by country stars at the peaks of their careers, like Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr. and so many more!
