Oh my goodness.

I've been sitting here with the television muted and suddenly realized that there was something going on which involved very strangely-attired people sporting very fluffy hair and an organ - the musical instrument, not any belonging in the human body. It is The Lawrence Welk Show. *boggles* And now there are ballroom dancers and I Could Have Danced All Night *loving* with the promise of Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue *loving* before the end of the episode, and I sort of think I'm in love. It is both completely bizarre and at the same time everything I love all rolled into one dated package.

How did Lorelai and Rory never make Luke watch this show? Lorelai had to have had at least the 'best of' on vhs.

Feelings. *mocking* Yes, clearly I have odd ones, but actually that's now what the orchestra is playing.

Ah - having looked at the 'info' more closely I see that this is a 'songs of the 70's' ep. Gotcha.

Oh, that means that this has to be one of the very late episodes. Maybe they'll start over and I can watch the whole thing! I have very strange ambitions in life.

OMG - now they're doing the theme song from The Young and the Restless! *mocking*

And now there is tap dancing! *loving*

I'm going to stop now and spare you the rest of this episode, but don't be surprised if there is more LW squee to come on this channel.

ETA - "Folks, would you believe that a polka was one of the top songs of the Seventies?"

Oh, I think we would, Mr. Welk!

There's a Christmas episode on soon!!!

My mother used to love that show--I remember watching it with her in the '70s. Well, sitting in the room complaining while she watched it, more like. That and Hee Haw.

Happy Birthday! (slightly belatedly) I hope you had a lovely one.

Now I have an extremely doofy guy singing Bad Bad Leroy Brown and he's just been joined by dancers - he's wearing plaid trousers and she has a matching skirt.

This is amazing.

Of course, if I'd been watching it at the time it was made it would have been a different story. :-)

Lawrence Welk! My grandparents used to have this on at their house! Of course, that could be explained by the fact that my grandpa could barely hear a thing . . . :-)

And-a ONE! And-a TWO! Ah, the Seventies.

*sighs dreamily* I loved that show when I was little. #nostalgiaflashback

And I am loving it now. :-) It is the perfect show because every second of it is either wonderful or mockable - no dead time whatsoever. It's public television so there aren't even any commercials!
