So AARP has a TV commercial showing Rock artist etc.. Instead of Lawrence Welk.
I always said some day the fight over the old folks home TV is gonna be over whether it is gonna be Lawrence Welk, Or Bob Dylan..
IMO Lawrence Welk has been the cornerstone of old folks TV.. But not for long LOL

Where have you been? Lawrence Welk was the cornerstone of old folks TV in the 1960 and 1970s. He retired before Cyndi Lauper had her first hit. By the 1980s, if you were watching re-runs of the LWS, you were probably an octogenarian or more :) And that was 30 years ago!
And Bob Dylan is a geezer. That's why we call it geezer rock.
.
Welk continues to be rerun early Saturday evenings on the San Diego PBS station. I'm in my mid-70s and can't figure out why? He certainly doesn't appeal to my generation. Can there really be that many even older folks watching to justify keeping him on?!?

It must be because of the Lawrence Welk resort in the North County. Gotta support that tourism!
I'm in the Boston area and I haven't seen the LWS on either of my PBS stations in many, many years. The last time I can remember seeing it while browsing TV listings was in the late 90s when I was living in OH.
I used to have Lawrence Welk on the TV with the sound off and play rock through the system. Sometimes they seemed to sync. This was the late 60s if you can relate.
