Lawrence Welk has some cuties on it. That's the only reason codgers watch it. Actually, I wouldn't mind if Hee Haw started back, the reruns at least.

LOL!

You just brought back some repressed memories! He Haw, and Sony & Sher

Fugg, my dad like the former, mom the later. I was screwed twice before I was 5.

Sorry Mr. Big.

If I hadda been 5, my dad wouldn't have let me watch something like Sonny and Cher. He woulda considered that show seditious. Rowan and Martin's Laugh In was barely tolerated because I was old enough to view it. Dad didn't like that show at all, except for Tiny Tim, who dad mocked. It was funny as all get out when he did that.

Ah, the memories.

BTW, I just looked up HEE Haw. It's the 3rd longest running TV series in American history, After Wheel of Fortune and some other crap show

I had one of these, very close to this one, although I believe either the camera screwed up the image or this one has been repainted with the color off. The Big Bad Orange Javelin`s orange was much brighter than this.
Ahhhh the memories.
In what is infamously known as " The Sin Palace Standoff" ,around here, I cut a deal with the folks who had the place surrounded, with guns trained, to let the females out before the poo poo came down. I gave the keys to my Javelin to who is now my wife, to take the three chicks out. Later found out that a ..errrrrrrr..... not so confident male who was present, went out hiding by laying down across the back floorboard hump.

Would love to be able to tell the story in it`s entireity here, but it would get zapped.

(Note: The cops showed up after an hour or so and ruined the fun.
