Lawrence Welk drove a Formal...

My parents dance polka everywhere. In the house, at the bar, anywhere that they could. Lol

It is on many PBS stations typically on Saturday night. It is a riot and unintentionally amusing especially if you are high or wasted on a beverage.

Watch for terrible camera work/lighting, insane makeup/hair, grins as big as a house, dated clothing, awful backgrounds, dancing that is questionable, plenty of lip-syncing,

singing during instrumentals that never had singing and shots of the audience dancing that is often repeated endlessly.

My grandmother watched it of course so I reconnected recently with it. There are good musicians so not all of it is a train wreck.
 
We would watch the show back in the late seventies before hitting the town saturday nights. Some decent eye-candy but too many dancer/singer guys that fell in the "under suspicion" catagory!
 
I'm guessing Chrysler was the Lawrence Welk sponsor like Chevy sponsored Dinah Shore.
 
My parents always watched the show and thus, so did I. I like all kinds of music (music, period) - from Classical to Techno - so I enjoyed the show. I can't say whether I remember the car or not but I remember seeing the license plate before simply because of the memorable A1 an A2!
 
[QUOTE="Mopars & Missiles,

I'm sure you remember the Lennon Sisters? Can you name them?

All I remember is Janet. She was why I watched the show.....
:p I was 10 then.

Thank God for plastic models & slot cars so I could get out of watching this in my youth.

Yep. Spent many nights in the basement building models and listening to Keener 13 AM radio in the sixties. Had both the H.O. scale and Strombecker slot car sets.
Intill I got my license. Then they all ended up in boxes I still have today.
