These guys were brilliant. Buddy Cole, Police Department and Chicken Lady were the best recurring characters. And the show was shot in my hometown of Toronto!

The Lawrence Welk Show
.
(from TV.com)
Originally on: ABC (60 min.)
Status: Ended Premiered: July 2, 1955 Last Aired: April 17, 1982
Show Category: Variety Shows
The Lawrence Welk Show was good old fashioned family entertainment at its best with all kinds of music, particularly from the Big Band Era. The show had a close-knit group of singers, dancers, and musicians known as the "Musical Family."
The Lawrence Welk Show made its national television debut on July 2, 1955. It was originally filmed in black and white and then it went into color September 18, 1965. The show was on Saturday nights on ABC until 1971 when the network canceled the show; that year, it went into first-run syndication with new episodes being produced until 1982. Reruns began airing until 1983. There were also two Christmas reunion specials, in 1984 and 1985.
On October 3, 1987, reruns of the The Lawrence Welk Show began airing on PBS, where they continue to air to this day. These shows were hosted by members of the Musical Family until the 2005 season, when Mary Lou Metzger interviewed former members of the Musical Family after each show.
Below is a list of Lawrence Welk PBS specials:
2001 - Milestones and Memories
2003 - God Bless America

I believe Welk made a fortune on the syndication; which is a laugh on the networks.

I always think about how all those old people dancing stiffly in their suits must be long dead now.

I think about all those anonymous elderly audience members who get up to dance to some tune. They all look like they put on their Sunday best to attend a taping of the TV show, but there's little joy in it. They remind me of a photo of my great-grandparents: all dressed up in shades of brown for the grave event of having their picture taken, formal and expressionless beneath the thick glasses.
It's a bizarre show for me.

I remember watching it regularly with my grandparents as a kid. They were not too unlike the people you saw in the audience, quiet and intently watching. Then as soon as the show was over, they'd almost snap back to the present and discuss how much they enjoyed certain segments. Today I guess I'd call it quaint, but it carried itself with a sense of class which is something you really don't see anymore.
