This is an episode of A Prairie Home Companion which was aired on the Disney Channel on April 11, 1987. During that season Garrison Keillor was preparing to retire, which he did for a short while before reviving the show in 1989. As part of his planned retirement he agreed to air his "last" season on the Disney Channel. Despite the show being revived, it was never broadcast on television again (although recently performances of A Prairie Home Companion have been broadcast to cinemas as part of Garrison Keillor's most recent attempt at retirement) . This episode is only 90 minutes long because the television broadcasts had 30 minutes cut out from them. This is also the only episode I have; it was taped off of a free preview weekend of The Disney Channel (when it was a "premium" network, like HBO). Apologies for the occasional video dropouts, the tape is a bit worn out and my video capture card doesn't tolerate worn tapes very well. Part 1 of 7.

Where do you get these videos....? Because I want to get them all.

@jjbb81 Like I said in the video description, I got this episode from a video tape some relatives of mine recorded when this show first aired. This episode is sadly the only one they/I have and if I had more I'd definitely share them.

I've been in Paris for nearly five years, and I can't be without my Prairie Home Companion. Thanks for sharing. Glad you were able to find this.

Love Minneapolis-St. Paul. Any town that gave us Bob Dylan, Prince, Husker Du, The Replacements and Garrison Keillor can't be bad.

Wow, he's not looking into script! Instant improvisation?
