Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ever watch Lawrence Welk

slumlord;
Evening to you sir, I trust the day behaved and you're well.

Left without further comment, but do watch to the end.



My late Mom loved the show, but I did my best to have something else to do when it was on.

Best to you this week.

Hated that damn show

in Nor Dakotah it iss required by law to watch it. ;-{>8

Only the gay kids watched Lawrence Welk, I hung with the cool kids so we tuned into Ed Sullivan, he had the better guests.

Arthur Duncan died on January 4th, age 97.

Sundays at 7 as a kid right after Hee Haw followed by Wonderful World of Disney. Life was better then.

I grew up in deepest, darkest Appalachia. On average we only got 3 channels at best. Two from one direction, and one from another. They required a trip outside, in the dark, to twist the antenna.

Anytime LW was on was the longest, miserable fahqin' hour, a kid could spend. Same for fahqin' Hee Haw. 😡

Luckily, my parents hated the Lawrence Welk show but my paternal grandparents loved it. (I was born in '54.) As a young kid, when I spent some time with them, they'd always watch the show. Fortunately, I was free to leave the room and go play.

JUST DAMN!!!!!!!

No...



But I was subjugated to that schit in the early 70,s.

😡😡😡😡

About ten seconds of it many times. The time it took to realize that it was on and walk over to the TV and change the channel. OMG ! Remember when you had to walk to the TV and turn the dial ?

With Grandma and Pop Pop for sure.

My folks always watched it. That was usually our cue to go play with Lincoln Logs or army men or something else. 😁

Only thing worse was fuggin Liberace's show...

When I was a kid, we only had two channels and we never missed the Lawrence Welk show. I didn't like it that much, but I lusted after that
youngest Lennon Sister . What was her name? Janet??
I can't remember what was on the other channel !

Yea, but not by choice. As a kid not much say in what we watched. In my parents defense, not a lot of options with the T.V. Antenna of the day. Pretty much got two local channels plus PBS.

Man, I really disliked that show. 😝😝😝😫😫😫😫😫

Lol!!!
My dad invented what was probably the 1st channel changer back in the day I think..

When the dail TV was around and 2 5 7 and 12 were the only channels.
NBC 2
CBS 5
ABC 7
PBS 12

10 FT long 1 inch wood dowel with a beveled slot via a file job in the end to slip over the dail to change channels from his chair.
Did a mod to it after the 1st day, the handle end was slipping in his hand and he was not getting the twisting on the dail effect very good with it
He wrapped a bunch of tape around it.
Workable handle...
Problem solved ...
🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ ingenuity at work......

As a kid my maternal grandparents were big fans. The paternal grandparents not so much. My mom put it on occasionally because prior to 1962 we only had two stations so there wasn't much choice. I was amazed when we actually got a third local TV station because of what I thought was a huge amount of options.
