No, maybe if I saw a picture, sounds like a Brady Bunch wantabe.
I cannot BELIEVE someone else actually remembers the King Family!! I thought I must have been hallucinating it from my childhood, because absolutely NO ONE I know remembers their show!
Anyway, cheers to you for remembering, as you mention, the blondest, prettiest, biggest-haired singing "family" in history!!
Hmmm....that's got to be a fairly recent photo. Thanks for posting it.
In the show there were dozens and dozens of them.

My God we use to watch them when I was kid.

I remember being very, very young, and watching this creepy pablum with the blonde family. It was almost as bad as watching Lawrence Welk in Living Color. Thank God the days of just a few vhf channels is long gone!
Im remember watching them on something when I was younger.
I think it was equally as bad as watching Lawrence Welk in Living Color.
Gawd, it was like a goody two shoes convention.
Reminds me of all those 'white slacks, crew cuts and pullovers' singing groups. Remember them?
This land is youuuuur laaaaannd. This land is mmmmyyyy laaaaaannnd....
Oh, I dunno.....I have kind of a fondness for that stuff. It's campy now but also kind of sweet. Gone forever tho. I'd take the good old repressed 50s culture over today's horrid bitches-n-ho's. At least there was something to rebel AGAINST.

Oh yeah, I remember them. Overly sweet, quaint. They had the KING COUSINS (the teenaged KINGS), KING SISTERS (the original 4 who were in their 40s during the mid 1960s), and of course THE KING FAMILY.
One of them, TINA COLE, the daughter of YVONNE (I think) played ROBBIE' wife KATIE on MY THREE SONS in the late 1960s.
Oh yes, her. I always wished my hair would do that
looks like i'm gonna be jacking off a 4th time today. YAHOO!!!!

Listen, if you end up in Bawlmer, call me & we'll grab some beers.
Lawrence Welk was in In Living Color???
I never knew that. Guess they edited him outa the reruns on BET.....
you're on!!!
I've been wondering for years what happened to them. They were like ... HUGE. At the time anyway. They always had Christmas specials and crap like that. I want to say they were on Andy Williams' show sometimes, too. And of course Lawrence Welk...that or they were on after.
Hell I don't know! My grandmother made me watch 'em!
Now you're gonna get me going to dig up shit on the Lennon Sisters. (Who were discovered by Lawrence Welk, if memory serves me correctly.)
I am probably wrong here, but weren't they married in real life, too? I seem to remember my next-door neighbor insisting they were. Of course, we were eight at the time...Oh yeah, I remember them. Overly sweet, quaint. They had the KING COUSINS (the teenaged KINGS), KING SISTERS (the original 4 who were in their 40s during the mid 1960s), and of course THE KING FAMILY.

Now if Tina was the daughter of Yvonne King, does that mean Yvonne's married name was "Yvonne King Cole"?

Not married in real life. Tina was an early TV babe, kind of pre-Charlie's Angel angel.

That reminds me, if singer ANITA BRYANT married comedian ANDY DICK, then her name would become [SIZE=4]ANITA DICK..........[/SIZE]
but wait, she knows how to straighten him out too......
If you have a boner in bed, and you read a book, you probably already are straight.
but wait, she knows how to straighten him out too......
I kinda remember them and sadly since I work with the elderly I still see the Lawrence Welk show regularly
I was digging around you tube today and came across their official channel for the King Family. There are a ton of 60's clips of them on there. I remember Tina Cole from My Three Sons. After her divorce from her first husband, she became involved with and almost married her TV husband Don Grady......years later she married the step-son of her TV mother in law played by Beverly Garland. His name was Filmore Crank Jr.....she would Be Tina Cole Crank......LOL I think she had a son by her first marriage named Volney the III. She went on to have some more kids with hubby no.2.
Here is clip of Tina and the King Cousins from 1969. It'd a b&w copy of an original color broadcast.

Another clip:
The King Family all need to have name tags on them!
I remember some spoof on tv - maybe it was SNL or Mad TV....anyway it was called "Christmas with the King Family".
It was a takeoff on the King Family specials but this one featured the family of Stephen King and the Christmas surprise wasn't matching sweaters, eggnog and presents.
If I recall correctly it had to do with hatchets, bodyparts and buckets of blood.
I seem to recall that. I miss Mad TV, that show was hilarious. I'm surprised they didn't bag on Lawerence Welk. That would have been a comedy goldmine.
There are few words to describe this. Bobby in a baby dress on Lawerence Welk.
