=== Reruns === After the show's syndication run ended, [[rerun]]s aired on [[The Nashville Network]] from 1993 until 1995. Upon the cancellation of reruns in 1995, the program resurfaced a year later, for another run of reruns, ultimately concluding in 1997. Its 22 years in TV syndication (1971β93) was, during its latter years, tied with ''[[Soul Train]]'' with the record for the longest-running American syndicated TV program (''Soul Train'' continued until 2006); ''Hee Haw'' has fallen well behind several other American first-run syndicated shows since then. During the 2006β07 season [[CMT (American TV channel)|CMT]] aired a series of reruns and [[TV Land]] also recognized the series with an award presented by [[k.d. lang]]; in attendance were Roy Clark, [[Gunilla Hutton]], [[Barbi Benton]], the Hager twins, [[Linda Thompson (actress)|Linda Thompson]], [[Misty Rowe]], and others. It was during this point, roughly between the years of 2004 and 2007, that [[Time Life]] began selling selected episodes of the show on DVD. Among the DVD content offered was the 1978 10th anniversary special that had not been seen since its original airing. CMT sporadically aired the series, usually in [[graveyard slot]]s, and primarily held the rights in order to be able to air the musical performances as part of their music video library (such as during the "Pure Vintage" block on [[CMT Pure Country]]). Reruns of ''Hee Haw'' began airing on [[RFD-TV]] in September 2008, where it ran for 12 years, anchoring the network's Sunday night lineup, although beginning in January 2014 an episode airs on Saturday afternoon and the same episode is rerun the following Sunday night; those episodes were cut down to comply with the 44-minute minimum. In 2011, the network began re-airing the earliest episodes from 1969 to 1970 on Thursday evenings. That summer, many of the surviving cast members, along with a number of country artists who were guest stars on the show, taped a ''Country's Family Reunion'' special, entitled ''Salute to the Kornfield'', which aired on RFD-TV in January 2012. The special is also part of ''Country's Family Reunion''{{'}}s DVD series. Concurrent with the special was the unveiling of a ''Hee Haw'' exhibit, titled ''Pickin' and Grinnin' '', at the [[Oklahoma History Center]] in [[Oklahoma City]]. ''Hee Haw'' left RFD-TV in 2020 and then aired on the [[Grand Ole Opry]]-operated [[Circle (TV network)|Circle]] network.<ref name="tstar">{{cite news |last1=Bowman |first1=Bethany |title=New Country Music Network Circle to Launch January 1 |url=https://tennesseestar.com/2019/12/14/new-country-music-network-circle-to-launch-january-1/ |access-date=December 26, 2019 |work=Tennessee Star |date=December 14, 2019}}</ref> In May 2024, after Circle had left terrestrial television and ceased carrying the series online, RFD-TV resumed carrying ''Hee Haw''.<ref>[https://www.rfdtv.com/get-ready-for-the-new-saturday-night-lineup Get ready for the new Saturday night lineup], RFD-TV press release, May 09, 2024</ref><ref>Steve Hoffman, RFD-TV to bring back Hee Haw and add 2 more new shows, https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/rfd-tv-to-bring-back-hee-haw-and-add-2-more-new-shows.1201560/, May 11, 2024</ref> As part of the promotions for its DVD products, Time-Life also compiles and syndicates a half-hour [[clip show]] series ''The Hee Haw Collection''.
