The Lawrence Welk show keeps coming up on this thread. My whole family - grandma, grampa, mom, dad and the kids all watched the Lawrence Welk show when it used to come on. I can't remember if I actually enjoyed it or not, but they sure did. Every now and then I catch the reruns on television AND I JUST CAN'T BELEIVE HOW HORRIBLE MOST OF THOSE ACTS WERE! Corny doesn't begin to describe them. But then again, I feel the same way whenever I happen to turn on MTV - corny doesn't describe it, but horrible usually does! Worst (real)cover that I can think of - Reba McIntyre doing "Kathy's Clown". I don't much care for the original but when she does it it's like chalk on a blackboard - Kayyyythheeeyys Claaaayoooooowwwnnn in a whiny exaggerated southern accent.
