The "Hee Haw" set is on display at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, TN.

The show was originally scheduled to be shot entirely in California, but the general manager of WLAC talked CBS into doing the show at his station. The reason: "I could stand on the front porch of the station, blow a whistle, and have any country singer we need."

The series was shot in "blocks"; performers would assemble for a week of taping in June, and another in October, with individual shows edited together later. Roy Clark compared the block schedule to "a big family reunion, twice a year".

A victim of the infamous rural purge in 1971 along with "The Beverly Hillbillies" (1962), "Mayberry R.F.D." (1968), "Green Acres" (1965) and the "The Ed Sullivan Show" (1948). These shows were perceived by then CBS executive Fred Silverman to only appeal to people who lived in rural areas and older people, so he decided to cancel them even though they were all still hugely popular at the time.
