I thought Hee Haw was cancelled like 20 years ago.

[Barry Blackwood]

It was, but like Mayberry RFD and the Beverly Hillbillies, it lives on in rerun perpetuity..

who wants to be the dream-crusher who tells Charles those are reruns?

b0b is absolutely right; new Hee-Haw shows were taped until 1992. It was canceled as a CBS network show early on but kept going for years as a very successful syndicated show. I moved to town in the early 80s and worked on the show several times; the last one I did was with Reba McEntire around 1990.

And I can attest that whatever anyone might think about her, she has been talking the same way, onstage and off, for her whole career...
