Guilty Pleasure Wednesday
The Lawrence Welk Show
Saturday nights growing up meant babysitters and Lawrence Welk. I still watch this 1970's classic on a regular basis but now with a yearning to know what went on behinds the scenes. It's like a Mormon soap opera. Guy and Ralna were married to each on the show, then got divorced (the horror!) but still sing together today. What happened there? Lawrence Welk's daughter-in-law suddenly shows up as a regular. Did she sleep her way to the top?
There are rumors that Arthur Duncan, the afro-american tap dancer(cliche?), got paid less than the others. Behind the scences politics? All this entrigue plus all the polyester suits, beaded dresses and waist long hair one can stand. This is a definite guilty pleasure. Adios, au Revoir, auf Wiedersehen - Goodnight!

Oh, and Lawrence Welk.
And the whole Variety Show genre.

Ugh. Lawrence Welk. Geeze, I only watched the last fifteen minutes (in recent history) to get to Antiques Roadshow!
