That's the same reason Jesus wasn't born in West Virginia. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin anywhere.

I remember Mitch. Played the oboe and I think the bassoon. My folks watched.....so we watched. Didn't have much choice......one TV and only 3 channels to pick from. In the winter, when it gets dark at 5 and you go to bed an 9 or 10.......you got 2 to 3 hours to fill......and if starved for entertainment, will watch about anything. Including Lawrence Welk.

We used to refer to the Mitch Miller Show as Itch with Mitch.

Yeah me too, being a kid in the 80's was tough.

80's? I was thinking 60's......
Was also trying to remember when the alphabet networks went through that musical talent on TV phase. The ones I remember were Johnny Cash; Glen Campbell; Sonny and Cher, etc. Mostly one hour variety shows. Them and their guests.
Trying to remember who they all were.

Shall we compromise and say 70's then
Our 4th channel didn't come along until the 80's tho', and I also remember getting our first color TV, and getting a phone installed in the house.

My grandmother had the 1st color set in our neighborhood....again....60's. Three of us and three cousins would go up the road to grandma's house to watch Disney's Wonderful World of Color in color.........Sunday at 6 PM. And then the argument would start.......they always got to watch Star Trek.....so we always went home.
Doesn't exactly count as a music variety show, but who can forget Hee Haw?
I have trouble imagining how things went back stage with Minnie Pearl and a scantily clad Barbi Benton operating on the same set.

Here is another one......The Andy Williams Show......which begat a spinoff in the form of the Osmonds.......and later the Donnie and Marie show.
Towards the end, Andy Williams was kick'n it in Branson at the Moon River Theater. Saw him on TV once and it looked like he had so many facelifts.....his face was as tight as a snare drum. I thought if you had dropped a quarter on his cheek, quarter would have bounced 20 feet.
And now that I think of Branson, lets lot forget Tony Orlando and Dawn. He was on TV too.

Liberace.....Engelbert Humperdinck.....Dean Martin? They all had TV shows.
In the era, Dean Martin would weave in a mention of Engelbert Humperdinck more often than Sean Hannity mentions dossier.

We really were starved for entertainment.
