January - After 23 years of its tried-and-true formula, the producers of '' Hee Haw '' unveil an extensively revamped show in time for the start of its belated 24th season. The show's new urban setting, along with more pop-oriented country guests, is a resounding failure and lasts only through the end of the season. That fall, viewers will be greeted with ''Hee Haw Silver'' - a collection of classic shows, with new introductions by longtime host Roy Clark ; "Silver" will fill out the show's 25th (and final) season.
