True story: I was working the pledge drive for a PBS station (because I'm a viewer, like you) during the local art auction last year and had to field calls from old women demanding to know why the Hell (direct quote) Lawrence Welk wasn't on. Because it was something they waited all week for. My takeaway from this was a new appreciation for "hope I die before I get old."
On the other hand, if Welk had been the star of a Hanna-Barbara mystery show, I would watch the crap out of it just for the accent.
