A hit
variety show on
CBS, 1971-74.
Sonny and Cher had already done some not-bad acting (e.g. an episode of
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.); here they hooked up with Allan Blye and Chris Bearde from
the Smothers Brothers show, the hippest thing on
TV in its day. This show was a
baby boomer version of Carol Burnett's:
sketch comedy (the cast included
Teri Garr and
Murray Langston), songs (often
Vegasized covers of
rock hits), celebguests, and
Chastity.
