highly recommended

Beginning as a summer replacement in 1971, The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour earned its own regular time slot that same year, running for three straight seasons and then returning in 1976 (as The Sonny & Cher Show), after the couple's divorce. The show's formula, which had already been established both onstage and on the small screen (their '69 pilot episode is among the extra features), includes plenty of music (duets, Cher's solo performances in typically outlandish Bob Mackie gowns, various guest shots); lots of shtick (consisting mostly of Cher's put-downs of the minimally talented but good-natured Sonny); and sketches and skits (ranging from lame to inspired, including a mock-opera based on All in the Family and starring Metropolitan Opera tenor Robert Merrill as a warbling Archie Bunker). Guests range from the obvious (TV stalwarts like Harvey Korman, Ruth Buzzi, and Don Knotts) to the downright weird (then-California governor Ronald Reagan). It's all fairly middlebrow, but Sonny & Cher's unpretentious, unself-conscious charm carries it; and once in a while everything congeals into one surreally entertaining package, like the '72 show featuring the Jackson 5 (led, of course, by Michael, who was then 14 and still apparently normal), who are followed to the stage by Reagan (telling jokes, sort of) and singer-actor Howard Keel, veteran of numerous movie musicals.

Bonus features include 2003 audio commentary by a nostalgic Cher, interviews with the producers, the '69 pilot, bios, discographies, and a show history. The DVD set also comes with a music-only CD, featuring live performances of "The Beat Goes On" and "I Got You Babe." --Sam Graham

BACK IN TIME

If you are a lover of the 60's-70's you will love this collection. The Sonny and Cher Show and the guests they had were the best! Her skit as The Vamp- a riot! It is entertaining, funny and the writing is hysterical! Corny! Cher's gowns by Bob Mackie are timeless. Have fun with a blast from the past!


Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour is pure entertainment and fun!

I loved and lived for the Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour as a teen-ager! What fun, entertainment, enjoyable music, and who could take their eyes off of Cher! I had to have this DVD package set to re-visit what was in my opinion the best variety show of all time. Grab this DVD set and visit it whenever you just wanna be entertained, have a good laugh, and feel good!

Sonny and Cher

What a blast from the past! Sonny's less than adequate singing, and Cher's Bob Mackey costumes. I had a wonderful time watching this DVD. Very nostalgic indeed!!


I really enjoy this collection

I only wish I could buy more! These were definitely some of this shows best moments. Good investment of time and money. Any fan of this show will love it I think.


Sony & Cher is not a 'best of' collection

I never realized how dated this variety show could be in its entirety. Carol Burnette had the right idea... Splice the BEST parts into 1/2 hour shows. Parts of these shows are really good but not entirely so. Cher's comments run about 5 minutes.

This SHOULD have been "The Best of Sonny & Cher, Volume One"
