  • This is an abomination unto mankind.

  • What great days those were.

  • This is so cute I think I might start vomiting rainbows and glitter!!!

  • Do you know where I can watch the Jefferson Starship episode with S&S?

  • Comment removed

  • I love the Sonny & Cher Show - it was great to see them together.. Sad when they divorced .. The reason why Sonny was part of the Singing Duet because Cher was scared to be in front of the audience by herself so he became part of the duet.

  • Sonny dying in a sking accident. Such a tradgedy.. Like "Davey Allison' dying in a helicopter crash..

  • so,how do you guys feel now that Chasity is a man? Went from "chasity to "chaz" hey to each his own I guess. "Happy Thanksgiving" to all.

  • @zackfan so she has become a man, so who is she actrated to a man or a woman

  • I loved this show and them. I was devastated when they split up. There will never be another Sonny & Cher. I could watch them for hours. I wish Nite at Nite would put them on.

  • Yeah they sure don't make shows like this anymore...They may have been dorks to some but they were a good dorky couple lol Sonny was dorky but thats what made him so funny

  • I love Cher.

    

  • LOVE OLD COMEDY FROM THE 70S AND PRIOR!!! SONNY AND CHER ARE MY FAVORITE!!!

  • Cher looks so different! Wow! 

  • Sonny is dead D:

  • @EpicZeldaWin No, really?

  • @discolives79ify Yeah he is dead sad very sad :(

  • Cher is always known for her overt criticism of Sonny. It's sad.  Really hate to see her act like this. It makes her look ugly. But she can really sing good.

  • @tuff47 So the insults are real?!?! I thought they were fake....

  • they are sooo cute !!

  • I love being able to watch the shows I grew up on. All my girlfriends and I would tune in just to see what Cher would wear!

  • Good stuff love Sonny and Cher make more please!

  • Lo mejor, saludos desde Lima- Peru

  • Wow, what a shit tv show

  • I really enjoyed the clip...I watch their show faithfully.

  • why cant all tv show host,s jump around in hippie 70,er clothes

  • 3:30 Chers hair is at her back, next second it is over her shoulders

  • Jeesh: They don't make T.V. Shows, like they used to do! Please; please, bring those shows back again! I haven't watched regular T.V. since they brought in those cheaply made Reality Shows!

  • LMAO hahahahahahahaha love this! CHer has GREAT timing!

  • I wish was around when Cher was young.. she's my idol

  • yeah they don't make tv shows like this any more. I remember when I used to watch them every Friday night

  • Yeah, but what a loveable dork. They made such a great combo. She glamourized him & he made her humble. Loved this show growing up. ditto to all the others who loved it too.

    Glad to find out he was the "brains" behind the duo (and their success).

  • My uncle has saved his very first television set that he got in during these times. The other day I asked if he was going to trash it or something and he replies, "What for? That thing ain't going no where. It's one of the many things I have that will remind me of the time when television was bearable to watch. It may look extremely cheap, ancient, but that was entertainment for us in my time and we appreciated it. Wish I can say the same now..." I agreed with him.

  • I think Cher is manlier than Sonny! Great clothes :D

  • whatever happened to this Cher

  • @mwjayjr She's playing in Vegas and packing them in!

  • @rgws1946 ya but she's changed alot from what I've seen

  • @mwjayjr I would love to see her is Vegas. Have you seen her? She surely must change somewhat at sometime. She's what, 65 or 68? At any rate she's got to be pussing 70. Still love her,.

  • Nothing like these old variety shows. Dean Martin, Shanana, Sonny n Cher, Red Skelton, Carol Bernette. Man, those were shows. Not the crap they have now. Who cares about the stupid reality shows. I sure don't.

  • This brings back memories and you can totally tell they loved each other , if you can take and give teasing like that lol I have a twitter friend whose only 16 and wouldn't remember these shows but she's probaly Cher's number one fan. I used to wish I had hair like Cher

  • This brings back memories and you can totally tell they loved each other , if you can take and give teasing like that lol

  • I LOVE it!

  • that girl has a terrific body! LOL xD

  • Si puedes sube mas de Cher, es magnifica, gran artista.

  • the most fun show to work on!

  • I watched this every week. Hilarious. Sonny set all the bits up. A very underrated straight man.

  • ok, now this is cut and paste -- not like some others from the same era

  • Thanks for the retro for those of us from the 60s. Very nostalgic and appreciated. It's fun to watch their comedy and singing!

  • love love love!!! I want her dress

  • i love sonny and cher.. i love their show and i just love them... cher is my idol and sonny is hilarious.. like this comment if u are a fan or if you are just in love with sonny and cher!!!!

  • Variety shows need to make a comeback! Hell, I know many people in their twenties who would watch them.

  • I love this ....my love affair with Cher started with the show.

  • Good 'ol days.... sometimes I wish I grew up in those times! Everything was so fun, and honest, and just GOOD TIMES. We need more shows like this on TV today.

  • @je9999L You're right there is a lot that is good but I find this to be better than shows like "Southpark", "Family Guy', and "Futurama". Now I'll give "Southpark" this some of their stuff is funny but some is just dumb, gross crap.

  • Please ad more Sonny and Cher clips from their show.  I love them both and enjoy watching it...

  • Poor Sonny. It's sad he died when he was such a great inspiration.

    May you rest in peace, Sonny. I'm sure Cher misses you deeply.

  • I loved this show - what we got to see of it!

  • It's sad that TVLand got rid of or lost the rights to show these shows on a daily basis.Perhaps the new Antenna TV could in the near future grab a hold of the rights to show these gems.

  • wow! i lve this video! and to think that the comedy these days are better then this! and look at cher's face and hair wow! she changed ALOT!!

  • This show is way before my time but I still love it! I just figured out the chalk on up for cheetah joke, hahahahaha.

  • This stuff is WAYYY better than the "comedy" crap they have now days.

  • I like this video :D !!!!!

  • could she be any more beautiful!!! and the dress rocks!!!

  • I held cue cards on this show, circa 1973-4. Cher's timing was impeccable. Sonny was there for all the readings, rehearsals and camera blocking. Cher often attended only the final blocking and dress rehearsal, and nailed it every time, and a lot of her lines were ad-libbed. Sonny stuck to the script....

  • @ljvideo

    Thanks for sharing. I do believe that Sonny was a true artist and almost no one could match his recording skills in the studio. So the recollection of your experience says to me that both were underrated in talent and technical expertise.

  • @ljvideo

    How lucky were you? We LOVED this show, especially Cher and Teri Garr "At The Laundromat."

    Whatever part of this you were responsible for, THANK YOU!

  • hey- remember when cher daRed to play that ugly launfry lady in the (tiger stripes?)

    body suit with stuffed pot belly and dangly earrings with big balls at the end- & horned rim glasses-chewing gum etc- takes guts to get ugly when yr usual role is all beauty-wow cher had guts-glad it kept her from breaking under attacks like marilyn /- where can we get the episode for tiger lady???

  • Every Sunday Night.... good times

  • I was a very big fan .. still am. Please post more!

  • I remembered getting excited over Cher's changing hairstyles each week-particularly the over the moon larger than life afro puff! I was a child and I got you babe was a favorite.. it was an exciting time for family viewing, etc. and the Johnny Carson show. They had great chemistry!

  • I remembered getting excited over Cher's changing hairstyles each week-particularly the over the moon larger than life afro puff! I was a child and I got you babe was a favorite.. it was an exciting time for family viewing, etc. and the Johnny Carson show.

  • I was around 8 years old when I first saw Cher on the Sonny and Cher show. I loved her then, and I love her now. I saw her in Vegas last month (twice), and she is still just as beautiful. I do miss the Sonny and Cher show. It was a time of innocence, and a much better world then. Cher, you're still the greatest. Rest in peace Sonny.

  • she has a perfect head and face structure

  • apparently when i was a baby, my family and i were on a bus or something and sonny was there. he said that i was the cutest baby he had ever seen and that i looked like my father. i thought that was pretty cool

  • I would do anything to be able to watch these again.Now that was when tv was really tv. I miss it somuch.

  • I loved watching the Sonny and Cher comedy hour and could barely wait from one week to the next to see it. They were so talented and awesome together! I love them both dearly and miss these shows. Thanks for the memories!

  • anybody know the name of this song

  • @2009keeper1

    Cry Like a Baby

  • How much would one of those sonny and cher globe set pieces fetch on e-bay?

  • "He didn't have a choice, the monkey ran away."

    XD

  • @blablablablabla951 I was typing fast. Ok. Do you know how it feels like to have SAD

  • When I was a kid our whole family, (4 boys, 4 girls, mom and dad), had to sit and watch Sonny and Cher when they came on TV.

    My dad would hit you if you made any noise!

    Well, I never knew why he had to because all us kids loved them...

    Anyway, this style of wholesome family entertainment is just plain old gone unfortunately and for those who got to view it we all miss it, for those who never viewed it, you missed it, sorry.

  • What a great team! They still have a talent that just can't be equalled by any other couple. I miss their show and before Sonny's death, I was still hoping they would get together and do another show. T.V. today, isn't the same. SOME parents today have no idea what their kids are watching. That's why SOME parents cannot relate to their children. Hence the screaming brat in a store who want's everything and already has everything!!! Just venting at someone. Hope they're reading this!!!!!!

  • @ussvoyager1965

    I totally agree with u on every count!!

  • Salvatore "Sonny" Bono was genius.....sheer GENIUS!

  • I'd love to see a Mad TV sketch of a reunion. Cher has caked on makeup, an urn containing Sonny's cremated remains takes his place (and gets knocked over), and the cute daughter shows up now as a fat transgender male. It'd be a funny sketch!

  • @BritneyMusic101 Ha...I like your style. I can picture that being a funny sketch!

  • To everyone born in the early 1970's, doesn't this just take you back to your childhood? It definitely does for me. It's funny how when we're younger, we can't wait to get older....instead of just enjoying the wonders of childhood.

  • @eric9590 If you were born in the early 1970's I don't know how you would remember this show, since it first aired in the early 70's. Maybe you meant for those of us who remember the early seventies, this was a great show, and the on air chemistry between Sonny & Cher was nothing less than remarkable.

  • @walwaad Well, I was born in 1972 and I do have a few vague recollections of the Sonny & Cher show. However, to your point, those who remember the early 70s most likely will have a much greater appreciation of this era.

  • @eric9590 Right on!

  • haha That was great. I remember the show, but I was really too young to remember much of it. This is great. Cher is perfect with her delivery & their chemistry is awesome.

  • OMG...... every Wednesday night at 8pm. Channel 6 i think. I was GLUED to the TV. Up Front and Center. I so remember the little round orange circles with their pictures in them!!!

  • Great Video- yes make as many as you can! I enjoy watching and going back in time- I am 63 now and living in Manila, missing everything and everyone I left behind in Las Vegas. Thanks for bringing me so much enjoyment!

    Carol

  • AWESOME SHOW!!!!!!

  • Is that Ringo Starr singing with Cher?

  • @tomcat13claws no, of course not!!! Ringo=much more beautiful!!! the man on the video is Sonny!

  • I'm only 14...so I wasnt alive back when this was on TV...but I adore them with all my heart! Ever since I was 3 she's been my Idol...and now that I found out that Sonny died ( I think) all those years ago...breaks my teenage heart!\

    Love them forever! <3

  • 10 ppl who hate this is Justin Bieber Shovin a guys penis through a gun or puttin a gun up some some girl with Bieber fever's pussy

  • @dandyfireable what the hell does that even mean? You're an imbecile. Make sense when you talk please

  • Cher is so gorgeous. Even now, even if it is from having some plastic surgery, she still looks amazing! He was honestly nothing without her, but he was a great songwriter. Their back and forth bickering here makes me laugh, in a good way. Love it.

  • Nice combination.I like Sonny & Cher.Sonny is so great .

  • Cher is so cool, but Sonny looks like a dork

  • Just another great show I grew up watching on Sunday nights. This show and the Caro Burnett show where the best back then. There is absolutely crap on TV today. No entertainment. Just a bunch of nobody's running around with a video camera like all this reality crap. Give me a freakin break!!

  • There's kind of an irony here...maybe it's just me but during the song her body language etc, she looks pissed.... like she wants to slug Sonny.

    And after, the dialogue? Sure it's scripted, but looks like there was some realism in that.

    Regardless, what a great show! I worshiped Cher with her long hair, in her fabulous Mackie gowns and sitting on that piano. For me, a little 5 year old, she was mesmerizing.

  • i'd really like to see the howard cosell skit were the statues sing Li'l' Darlin'

  • There's something weird at 3:31 . At 3:30 her hair is behind her back. All of a sudden, at 3:31 there's an camera shift, and her hair is partly in front.

  • Comment removed

  • When was this air?in the 70's?the movie pocohontas wasn't even created but this was funny:D

  • TV fucking SUCKS now.

  • Comment removed

  • TV shows used to be so inventive and funny... Now we just have reality tv shows because we are too lazy to create real actors and hilarious skits like this.

  • I wish they would re-run this.

    What's happened to our TV shows? THIS was entertaining....we've gone downhill.....so sad.

  • cher is hot

  • I pretty sure this was Fall of 1973

  • @jamesbabyar This was early in the run of the show. It aired Feb. 14, 1972.

  • I have been searching for years for the names of the overweight characters on this show that whenever they mentioned food, they would rub their hands together and go "MMMMM". Does anyone remember these characters?

  • Repulican, democrat, whatever... They're both FUCKING AMAZING and their political affiliation should have nothing to do with the way you think of them

  • Sonny became a Republican and then skied into a tree and died....... not before talking against Gays and Gay marriage.....despit having Chasity (now Chaz) as a child...... he turned on his own child... for politics.......he was on his 4th marriage and wanted to protect true marriage in America.............who was he? Cher loved him and we love Cher. We underderstand..... but he betrayed so many of us.

  • @nealbrice Get over it. His daughter is a fucking freak. If you can't figure that out, then get a fucking life. I feel bad for her...because she's obviously screwed up. Anyway, Cher was so smokin...

  • Man I miss these old varity shows I wish they still had them.

  • she is so pretty

  • 3:30 hair behind shoulders, 3:31 hair in front of shoulders

  • loved the break in the season finale of "really BAD Shakespeare" on WritingRaw this world needs some Sonny and Cher every now and then LOL

  • why is it you can look through 150 channels on tv and all you see is garbage! When I was a kid we had 4 channels and we had good programing ,with variety shows, and stars that had talent!! I can't think of any"stars" that could actuallly DO a variety show like Sonny and Cher-Dean Martin-Carol Bernnet,etc. I agree!!! Put the re-runs back on!!

  • @dennybro1 Ain't that the truth! I haven't watched a network show on TV for years ... Thank goodness for History, discovery and USA cable ....

    We all owe a lot to Sonny ... Cher was painfully shy, and would never have gotten into showbiz without Sonny pushing her. This show was very entertaining....

  • her hair is so amazing

  • it takes me back to my younger years

  • Man Sonny was always out of tune wasn't he? LOL

  • @dsfddsgh - The longer the show went on, the worse it got.

  • They loved each other. Cher was ALWAYS so beautiful, but Sonny was always dressed first class as well. They looked so good together. I miss them. I miss Sonny. I don't know about his personal life, but he seemed to be a decent and honest guy. RIP Sonny Bono

  • Sonny and Cher never hated each other, even after their divorce. They just couldn't live together. They taught me more about marriage than anybody.

  • what's the first song called??

  • I don't care what you say, Cher was soooo beautiful before all that plastic surgery. Now she's just a caricature of herself and fodder for drag queens. I loved the outfits she wore on this show too. Cher was truly at her best at this time. With all the bickering and jabs at each other, Sonny and Cher had this special relationship and fondness for each other. You can see it in they way they steal a glance at each other,They really should have never divorced.

  • Cher had dark skin, now shes white! Lol i love these too!

  • With all the stuff that's on cable now, I don't understand why they don't re run this show! It's great to look back at the early days of Sonny and Cher. I have the dvd set but it would be great to see it back on the tube!

  • sometimes she looks like the mona lisa right?

  • My favourite part! Love it!

  • My favourite part! Love it!

  • Never realized how much Sonny looked like Jeff Foxworthy, even how he talked and his high pitch laugh.

  • Love this. Brings back so many memories.  Thanks for posting!!!

  • Cher kinda looks like Streisand a bit in this clip

  • Loved this show back in the early 70's. Back when television had talented people on it and it wasn't all reality show shit.

  • he mercilessly beat her

  • @Mozaeous I didn't know that. Where did you get that information?

  • Poor Sonny couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

  • You can't go wrong with Sonny and Cher. They were funny, could sing, and the best of friends even after the divorce.

  • @dianamaryflorence didn't he beat her up and chat on her??? Wouldn't call that the best of friends..

  • @satzi *cheat..

  • @satzi no he didnt they still cared about eachother just didnt work i found nothing on the net that even mentioned that rumor.

  • they made such an interesting couple.

  • One of the very few women that got even better looking as she got older. And for 63 years old, she's STILL not bad looking.

  • and 8:05

  • she flips her hair at 2:05 and 3:25 and 7:13

  • "My God, that girl has a terrific body!!!"

    The punchline ends a build up that's much to long -- it takes some comedy chops to deliberately tell a joke badly so the joke is that he's an idiot. Their timing is amazing.

  • I love Cher's music and i hope she makes more

  • Great show in its day...fun...

  • I LOVE Cher's hair flip at 2:05

  • I love this video! What's the name of the song?

  • Cry Like A Baby

  • the guy below means there was talk that sonny was wacked and they made it look like a skiing accident. it's conspiracy bullshit. if that were true there's no way cher would be silent about it, she'd be yelling about it in the media...

  • To the previous poster, Sonny Bono wasn't murdered he was in a fatal snow skiing accident several years ago. To The RetroCafe thanks for the memories. I loved this show.

  • was he ?

    i thought he died in a skiing accident ? x

  • @kminogue123 yes he did die skiing.

  • That was so funny. I just love Sonny and Cher.

  • i really wish they never broke up and just worked things out because they've done a lot of great things together.. and they're kinda cute, come to think of it...

  • Well maybe they will still get back together for a tour.

  • birthdaymatt, i could only wish for that because sadly, sonny's already dead.. he died in a skiing accident..

  • Thanks for these great memories !

    More please !!

  • They didn't broke up, If you broke up with  somebody that means that somebody is girlfriends & boyfriends, If you get a divorced, that means you're husbands & wives.

  • pocahontas puns??

    LOL

    i love sonny and cher!!

  • An organ ginder. LOL.

  • I am so sad that

    1. Sonny and Cher broke up and

    2.Sonny died in a skiing accident I never want to go skiing again more than 1000,000 people die or are injured while skiing every year!

  • @LelaAries you know why they broke up

  • LoL!! I've been DYING 2 watch this for sooo long!!!! Thank-You so much 4 Posting!! AWESOME!!! Please keep em coming!!
