I also enjoy Bobby Burgess, Mary Lou Metzger and the others as well, too. I am sorry Bob Lido is gone, but at least Dick Dale, Anacani, Ken Delo and-yes-Joe Feeney are still around to provide great performances. Very cleverly written and acted one of the season’s best. And so many of the performers should be recognized for their efforts. I liked the Lawrence Welk sketch (I’m a sucker for almost everything Wiig does), but I liked the Mary Poppins sketch more. This show should be praised for preserving big band music at a time when it had fallen out of favor. I especially like the older episodes, and am fond of Alice Lon. And I condemn no side I am a Green Party type who likes this sort of show. The 1960s did not just belong to the Flower Children it belonged just as much to those who liked the performers on this show (as well as other shows, such as The F.B.I.).

At the end of each show, Welk would invite women from the audience on stage to dance with him as the theme, "Bubbles in the Wine" (and later, "Champagne Fanfare") played. The most famous of the featured singers were the Lennon Sisters (Dianne, Janet, Kathy and Peggy), who were featured most every week for 13 years. Many of the shows revolved around a certain theme (e.g., "The Music Man" or the Fourth of July), with appropriate songs and dance numbers. Most of the introductions to the performances, read stiffy by Welk, were kept short. Each program was straightforward musical numbers from Welk's band (many of which had featured solos at one point or another), as well as vocal selections and dance numbers from the show's cast. Renowned bandleader Lawrence Welk began his own variety series in 1955.
