Hee Haw was a hit for decades milking that stereotypical cornpone humor for all it was worth. And everybody loved it.
Make that everybody minus one, then. I hated it. To me, there is often a fine line between comedy and stupidity, and that show was definitely stupid and NOT funny. I was going to add, ...and never the twain shall meet, but that's not true, either. There were lots of Lucy episodes where she did something stupid that I thought were hilarious, and I also (mostly) thought Gomer Pyle's stupidity was pretty funny--until he got his own show, at least.
