I started watching Lawrence Welk as a kid, because my parents wanted to watch the show, and if Welk was on, our TV would be on that channel, no matter what else I might have wanted to have on...but a funny thing: I still watch Lawrence Welk every chance I get, because I LIKE IT! I am very pleased that the shows were preserved and that PBS has them on most weeks, still on Saturday night, just like when I was growing up.
While I thought some of the skits were kind of corny, and especially in the later years, the choices of music seemed to stray from what Lawrence Welk was all about, I always enjoyed the shows. The musicians were all top notch professionals, and some of them were among the best that existed. The show was unlike anything else on the air.
It also always had a "family" feel to it, and I felt like I knew many of the performers as friends. We went to some of their live shows, and the performers came out and visited with the audience after the shows. They were just like they seemed on TV, nice and friendly.
I hope PBS will continue to broadcast Lawrence Welk shows forever, and I give them money earmarked as being for Lawrence Welk to help insure that it will continue. I do wish they would not use so many of the same shows they had on over the last couple of years. I remember the repeats that are that recent.
