I can't say I really miss most of those, especially the ones where the musical guests all lip synched. That said, there was nothing like tuning into Sooooooooul Train just to see the dancing.

Fan_S. Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Yes, Hee Haw and The Lawrence Welk Show made up a great Saturday night for me and my family in the 70's haha. I also loved Hee Haw and The Lawrence Welk Show. BTW, on Saturdays, I'd also watch The Carol Burnett Show and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. These were always good for a laugh.

Lawrence Welk We used to visit my grandparents on Sundays, and would have to watch Golf and Lawrence Welk; then they'd let us watch Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and The Wonderful World of Disney.

Jahfin Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Funny how on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom it was usually host Marlin Perkins that was back in the safety of the studio while Jim Fowler was the one actually out in the wild cavorting with the animals. On the subject of The Lawrence Welk Show, it's a wonder Brewer and Shipley's One Toke Over the Line even made it onto the airwaves and was introduced as a "spiritual" no less. Most have been that "sweet Jesus" line that did it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 That said, there was nothing like tuning into Sooooooooul Train just to see the dancing.

kirchzep27 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'm remembering a neighbor of mine who has just past. A true character and somebody you had to appreciate, yet pissed alot of people off for various reasons. He had a train cabose in his driveway, a windmill in the front yard, lamposts and alot of stuff. He was an antique appreciator and had these big timbers, with shiplink chain linked between them around the front yard. only thing is, he had a ton of these timbers dumped there at one time, some kind of dense oak, like pure rock, like the cabose, it was a huge ordeal. He also had an old knarled up rotted tree casing, tranpsorted to his house and a crane put it though a section of the house, so its in the inside of the house. He used to have halloween parties every so often, for christmas had a hay wagon and would rent a horse and it would go around the town, with old fashioned bells and feeling. I drove up to his house the other day and there was a big christmas wreath on the house and it was all dried up, yet it was a sunny day and the pine trees were dropping pine needles in the sunlight. a sad scene, yet it was good to see his house again, he had put up old green siding on the second story and had a statue of a white horse added to all the other stuff.

Roxie Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I also remember watching Lawrence Welk and Hee Haw on Saturday Night's as well. I also remember watching Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell sisters. Wow, all the shows mentioned in the last few posts were "Family Viewing Night" in my household as well back then. Melanie - I completely forgot about that show! I used to watch that with my family all time when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
