love. It

[@Lupton2000]

PBS first aired it on July 30, 1988.

Love it! I remember my grandma loving The Lawrence Welk Show!

[@gbertolozzi6629]

My grandfather talked to me about this show once. Out of curiosity, I searched for an episode and found this one! Not only did I watch it, but I watched it with my grandfather. We both really enjoyed it! I hope we see more shows like this in the future someday! ❤️

The early 70s, for many reasons, were truly a strange time.One them is the bubblegum pink jackets the guys are wearing.

[@lisamoag6548]

Lawrence has fun shoes. Wonderful wardrobe and beautiful people singing and dancing and the instrumentals are impressive.

[@mariekatherine5238]

I don’t remember this specific episode, but I’m pretty sure I watched it with my parents. I was 17 when this aired.

Anacani 😍

[@dariowiter3078]

That was her debut season(1973-74) on the Welk program.

[@jamesmooney5348]

I really enjoyed this...thanks

[@LawrenceWelkLPs]

Glad you enjoyed it

Television in all its forms has certainly evolved over the past 80 years. In its first 25 years the formats were both simple and strictly enforced to have clean language.

I remember working in a nursing home in South Dakota back in the late 1990's. The residents LOVED to watch The Lawrence Welk Show. Apparently it's a midwestern thing?

[@dariowiter3078]

Nope, it's a generational thing. 🙂

[@atlantic_love]

@@dariowiter3078 Okay.

[@dariowiter3078]

@@atlantic_love 😊😊😊😊😊

[@atlantic_love]

​@@dariowiter3078I just read that Lawrence was born in North Dakota, which would definitely explain why my residents who were from North and South Dakota always requested that show. I do know that my ex's residents here in the south never requested that show.

[@dariowiter3078]

@@atlantic_love Welk's TV show was quite popular in the South from what I understand about that, especially since he featured country music on his program, but that's the first time I've heard of this.

[@donaldcrabtree6259]

Wunnerful, Wunnerful!

[@lbird2]

That is some wonderful, corny stuff.

[@kavic1234]

Only good music left on TV, still watch it on PBS

[@zonawatkins3561]

Totally agree. Been watching on and off since 1955

[@markrichards6863]

As a child, I thought Lawrence Welk's music was a form of torture. My grandparents would force us to watch in silence. Looking at it now, I still think it's pretty lame, but I understand why other people would like it. I prefer my entertainment with more edge.

They could only find one Brown person? 🤔
