A sitcom that somehow survived despite numerous cast and format changes during its five years.

The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour

4 Seasons
They had us, babe, this endearingly mismatched power couple who dished out a mix of music and jokes, frequently the shimmering Cher's at the expense of spouse Sonny, whose somewhat goofy persona was a charming foil for her flash. With guests like Jerry Lee Lewis and the Supremes, they soared until their 1974 divorce ended the show. Sonny then hosted 'The Sonny Comedy Revue' and she starred in 'Cher,' and they reunited professionally in '77 for 'The Sonny and Cher Show.'
