For certain songs (mainly the instrumentals performed by the orchestra), the couples in attendance were also allowed to dance at the Ballroom. If the number was more a dance tune, Welk would dance with ladies from the audience, which he became somewhat known for. Also, from his autobiography Wunnerful, Wunnerful! he bemoans his accent, and in some of his pronunciations of "wonderful" in the show he can be heard forcing the D. On one such story, related by Jo Ann Castle on the Mike Douglas Show, has him introducing a medley of World War I tunes as "songs from World War Eye". This was evident from his mispronunciations of script on cue cards. He was most known for delivering these monologues in a distinctive German accent, which was parodied in popular culture (even by Welk himself: the two books he authored, Wunnerful, Wunnerful! and Ah-One, Ah-Two! were so titled because they were his catchphrases). Each week, Welk would introduce the theme of the show, which usually inspired joyous singing and/or patriotic fervor.

Due to the fact that stereophonic television had not yet been invented (it would be 25 more years before it would become standard), ABC instead simulcast the show on its radio network, with the TV side airing one audio channel and the radio side airing the other viewers would tune in both the TV and the radio to achieve the stereophonic effect. The Plymouth show was the first American television program to air in stereophonic sound. The second show's title was Lawrence Welk's Top Tunes and New Talent Show (1956–58) and then Lawrence Welk's Plymouth Show, after another Chrysler vehicle (1958–59). During 1956–59, Lawrence Welk was broadcast two nights per week. When the show began, it was billed as the Dodge Dancing Party from 1955 to 1959. The syndicated version of the program aired from 1971 to 1985. When the show was canceled by the head of programming there, Welk formed his own production company and continued airing the show, on independent stations and, often during non-prime time, also on some of the ABC affiliates on which he had previously appeared as well as some stations affiliated with other networks. The only seasons not taped there were 1965–66, 1976–77 at the Hollywood Palace and CBS Television City from 1977 to 1979. The show made its national TV debut on July 2, 1955, and was produced at the Hollywood Palladium for 23 of its 27 years on the air. The original show was broadcast from the since-demolished Aragon Ballroom at Venice Beach.
