Hee
Haw Salute! (2016 Compilation/Star Vista/Time Life 3-DVD Set
Version)
Picture:
C Sound: B- Extras: D Episodes: C+
The
classic television series Hee Haw presented by Buck Owens and
Roy Clark continues its DVD release with this collection of highlight
episodes from Time Life dubbed Hee Haw Salute! Featuring a
banjo strumming theme song, the country-themed show is a highlight of
various Country Music stars performing music and several sketch
comedy sketches.
Guests
in this collection include Tanya Tucker, Tammy Wynette, Melba
Montgomery, Loretta Lynn, Mickey Gilley, Conway Twitty, Kitty Wells,
Johnny Cash, David Houston, Freddy Weller, Buck Owens, George Jones,
Freddy Fender, and Roy Clark to name a few.
Episodes
in this collectors edition include 108, 126, 151, 153, 162, and 169.
Two shows fill up each disc in the set as they run around 47 minutes
each.
Presented
in standard definition preserving the original 1.33:1 full frame
aspect ratio of the original broadcast and a lossy Dolby Digital 2.0
Mono track, the show looks and sounds fine on DVD, but one must
wonder what more detailed digital restoration would look like. There
is some noise in the transfer, but its too be expected considering
the age of the show.
No
extras except for an insert booklet that details each episode.
While
not particularly my cup of tea, if you're a fan of Country music and
silly sketch comedy then you may want to give Hee Haw a
chance. If you're a longtime fan of the show, this edition will
supply you with several great episodes with some memorable stars of
old.
