Yeah.....that was the best part!Loved those Hee Haw Hunnies
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hee_Hawthe show was equally well known for its voluptuous, scantily-clad women in stereotypical farmer's daughter outfits and country-style minidresses (a group that came to be known as the "Hee Haw Honeys")
That brought back memories and made my laugh! Thanks for posting!No more variety shows on TV any more....
The old "Hee Haw" was great!
They viewed us that way before television existed, unfortunately. DOH and Smokey and the Bandit probably did seem believable to the average Yankee. JMO, but I though Hee Haw was tongue-in-cheek enough to ameliorate those perceptions a bit. I would be interested in hearing from someone reared north of the Ohio River, though.Aaaah the days of 3 channels on TV and being made to watch Hee Haw.
I believe that and the Dukes of Hazzard shaped a generation's view of the South.

Fifythe Honeys and Barbi Benton, I understood the appeal of Hee Haw.
No idea how to post a pic with an IPad. Yes, she is alive and yes, she is old.What does Barbi Benton look like now? Is she alive or just old?
Now, that was real entertainment. I actually loved that song and watching "Hee Haw". We just don't have entertainment like that any more. So sad! It was comedy and the finest singing in Nashville, Tennercee!

OK,I'll take a crack at this. I grew up in the Boston area in the 60s, and was probably the only kid in my HS who liked country music, for which I took a good deal of grief from my hard-rock loving friends. I was a pretty decent guitar player and singer back then, and in my HS yearbook I said my ambition was to grow up to be Johnny Cash. Obviously I did not achieve that goal! For me the main attraction of HH was the music, although I also got a big kick out of the skits and lusted after the HH Hunnies. I pretty much knew the show's content was tongue in cheek, so I don't think it really affected my view of the South. I just loved Southern music and still do.They viewed us that way before television existed, unfortunately. DOH and Smokey and the Bandit probably did seem believable to the average Yankee.
