I remember Lawrence Welk. Nothing wrong with appreciating nice music and a wholesome theme. I was fairly young back then so at the time it wasn't my style.....but I could watch it now.
How weird is this- I enjoy watching Lawernce Welk video's on youtube early Sunday mornings

Memories....
I ain't no LW. Fan but as a young kid like 7 years old I used to sit with my lonely widow neighbor who was all alone and over 85 then.
We watched it and she treated me like gold.
I still remember that kind soul.
My neighbor just turned 80 and he told me he is at the age where nobody cares or even tried too. I get it and that is why I sat with the lady above.
Today you can be in that same boat at half the age.

In my opinion we treat our elderly very poorly in the U.S. In many countries families take care of them in the home....but here we often relegate them to an assisted living facility.

Like many have said.. it reminds me of my Grandma. she watched every week...
My local PBS still plays them on... either sat or sun night....when we're trying to find something after the national news, I always suggest it... to an almost unison "NO!" from my Mom, Dad, and Older Brother.

even that is better than it used to be.... Mom's told the story of her family driving cross country in the mid-late 50's, (Her Parents were Missionaries, they were coming back from "the Field" came across Europe, flew into New York, where someone from the Church had arraigned a car for them to drive across the US back home to ID)
on they way west, they stopped in Cushing, OK, where her Dad was born, to visit her Great Grandpa.
she Describes the place he was living as little more than a shack/Barn in somebody's yard filled with Cots and a bunch of Old men in their undies (Middle of summer in OK, pre-widescale A/C)
Best song ever on LW:
You have to wonder if they knew what this song is about.
I'm so turned off by any new movies or TV shows. No storyline, no cohesian.
My TV watching is almost exclusively all the old TV shows from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's from various sources.
While the rest of the country is cutting the cord due to how new TV shows are so bad,
I've chosen to to be in a time warp in a time period where TV shows are of my liking.
