What's wrong with Larry Welk?!
Myron Floren?
Joann Castle?
Guy and Ralna?
and my favorite, Anacani!
AND, I wanted Brett Hudson and Bruce Yarnell...bad!

Love that pic of the King Cousins.
They all look like Doris Day clones on a bender.
And doodle, bad? What's wrong with wanting a little "variety" in your life every now and then?

As much as I love variety shows in general, even my 81-year-old father says the Lawrence Welk show is too old-fashioned for him.

Exactly, Calvin. Even my grandparents changed the channel!

I will admit to getting a surreal pleasure out of watching one of those Gaither family shows. And that's probably worse. That and the old woman with all the jewelry who plays organs all around the world. Tee hee.

Doods-Now that's different! Watching it now for the goof factor is certainly understandable. Anything that's so bad that it's good is fabulous!
But back in the day, we didn't know about the goof factor-the show was just that bad!

I actually did watch it back in the 70s, not completely seriously...Sundays were about Shirley Temple, Al Alberts showcase, wrestling (pre Hulk Hogan) and Larry Welk.

Oh my God! With Little Liza, and all the Teenyboppers. And don't forget Stella Alberts, and Frosty Acres and "Remember, it's not pass an uncle, it's Passananti!"

i loved Dolly Parton's variety show. :) i wish they'd put those on DVD.
but my favorite of all time (and it's no secret because i talk about it often) is The Judy Garland Show. that show literally is the best thing television ever invented!

Still traveling but I love, love LOVE this thread. When I get back to NY I'll post a few fun variety-show videos. For now, here's one of my favorites, an early Ed Sullivan appearance by Bob Fosse and carol Haney, performing "I Love a Piano" from their nightclub act. (WARNING: the sync is off.)

That King Cousin on the left looks like Katie Douglas from My Three Sons
A search for that image led me to this My Three Sons Bonus pic. Remember this little ball of sunshine? I think she needs to watch a few SPECIALS!!!

EVERYBODY who was ANYBODY had a variety show at one time. Even Shields and Yarnell and the had one for cryin' out loud!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
