Ralston was arrested in 1984 on charges of molesting a 13-year-old boy who was also one of his piano students. That included Welk’s two biggest stars - Bob Ralston and Jo Ann Castle, each caught up in charges of child molestation.
The show’s titular bandleader and accordionist oversaw the weekly musical offerings with a big smile - but behind the scenes, his show’s cast endured scandals ranging from secret gay lives to charges of child molestation! The once-popular show ran between 1955 to 1982, including 27 seasons on the ABC network, and still remains popular in reruns.
Sometimes, on PBS, I even glimpse back at this wholesome show of the past.
