In all seriousness though, the mention of Lawrence Welk brings back memories of when America was a better place. A time before everything on TV was 99% gay and interracial couples. I remember my folks tuning into The Lawrence Welk Show when I was a kid, I'm 52 now. If I'd known enough I might have thought it was corny, but I sure wish we had a lot more of that now than what currently occupies the airways. The America that Lawrence Welk inhabited is long gone.
It's one of those shows that is so hokey bad I just cant bring myself to change the channel..........like not being able to let go of an electric fence........
Cowboy chorus in yellow outfits with that one black guy on the end that can tap dance kinda bad....
It was required viewing every Saturday nite at my grandmother’s house when visiting. I’ve seen every show. His absolute funniest show was the one where he dances with a girl from the audience and her wig flies off. Hilarious and well worth looking this gem up on YouTube.
You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
actually i hated that show. when i saw those bubbles, i knew it was an hour of hell. same when the billy graham show or whatever it was would come on tv. not a lot of choice in those days.
I absolutely hated that show and my mother loved it and she would play records during the day of some kind of music with no words. Also we had to watch the Academy Awards.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
the old lady was watching it a couple of days ago.

It was on at my Grandma’s house all the time. The big band theme was part of her generation. I didn’t care for it much at the time, but the classy era of Lawerence Welk shames where we find ourselves today.
