Saturtainment: A Halloween episode of the Lawrence Welk Show, revisited (1978-2005)

 Are you ready for some Halloween-themed musical treats, a la Lawrence Welk?

After The Lawrence Welk Show was cancelled by ABC in 1971, the series continued for another 11 years in syndication before Welk retired in 1982 at age 79. Five years later, episodes from the final 15 seasons (1967-82) were acquired by the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority to air on PBS.

This particular episode aired on PBS in 2005.


My late mother was a huge Welk fan, and spent many a Saturday afternoon during the PBS era watching the repackaged reruns.

No rating. Just a public service.
