The Lawrence Welk Show! Can you admit it's great?

I've always liked the show. I liked big band music even as a kid in the 1970s. Anyone remember the Time-Life Swing Era records? I still have mine. I like music of my parents' generation where you can understand the lyrics. Those early color shows from 1966 and 67 would be great to see on a round tube color TV.

What's funny is my 86-year-old mom has never liked the show. She says it's too cutesy.

It's too bad they can't air the 1950s shows with the original Dodge and Plymouth commercials. You can find some of them on YouTube. They used the singers in the commercials. Dad actually bought a new 1960 Dart, but I don't know if my parents saw the ads on the show because I was only two at the time.
