Sonny & Cher opening (pre-divorce)

[@YesYou123333]

When I was a kid we had a black and white television. This is the first time I'm seeing this in color.

[@goodgriefff]

I was the 100th like lol but I think that’s super cool that it’s your first time seeing it color

[@nancyhoward7005]

Cool clothes. No cursing.Just feel good music

[@azchick7938]

I love their back and forth banter ❤. Not filthy dirty jokes just good wholesome humor. I miss shows like this 😢

[@tompinion4138]

The 70s were awesome. I watched this show as a kid and loved every minute of it.

[@girlee0303]

Me too ❤

[@josefinamoreno5927]

YYEESSS ME 2 WOWO

[@tania0070]

Wish to God I owned every outfit that Cher wore in the 70s. Major kickass gear.

[@NYCgirl927]

Me too

[@Me97202]

Wasn’t it a top designer who made these outfits? I also heard he made them for free, because he loved Cher’s style.

[@rottie615]

she wore some of the dopest clothes.

[@dakotahstr]

She wore clothes that were of the times...I used to watch this just to see what she did wear. loved most of them..She was the sign of the times.

This is 40 years ago, dummy

did same for Carol Burnett

[@cynthiareynolds3432]

Her clothes aren't dopey. Some of them have held up quite well. Plus they were more costumes, than regular clothes.

[@7777Scion]

Man, she was hot. She's aged well, too. Funny chick, too - this is an example of a star that never went off the rails like so many do.

[@annettesonjajesse9733]

You can see that those two truly loved each other. I never miss a show at the time...

[@KingTriton1837]

Yes. She did love him despite his womanizing ways. If there was any doubt to that fact, it was removed when she gave the eulogy his funeral.

[@christienelson1437]

I think Sonny was really insecure and learned the hard way of what life would be without Cher. She didn’t need him anymore for confidence and management and I believe they were able to treat each other better when they were divorced. Same situation with Ricky Ricardo and Lucille Ball. Both women were the head stars and the Men were the managers and backup entertainment. Hollywood is toxic for marriage.❤️🙏💕🙏❤️

[@neilrichardson7454]

They were separated at this time. They were only doing shows because of contractual obligations. He's even asking her to tone down on her dissing him. She's was with Greg Allman during this time. They were doing this act before the tv show. Thus, no writers were really needed except for the sketch pieces.

[@diannbajewicz8952]

They didn't love each other Cher was sonny's meal ticket

[@LilyAmongThorns]

@@KingTriton1837 right, she was crying her eyes out at his funeral and during her giving a eulogy.

[@Liz-cmc313]

Great show. Great chemistry, lots of laughs.

[@deedee9312]

They got along great post divorce ❤ they truly loved each other!!!

[@catrina175]

I ve never wanted them to break up they were great together!

[@Scissor18Luv]

I think a lot of people didn't, but if you read the background of their relationship Cher talks about the dark side and secrets not one wanted to see and believe. Everything was not what it seemed. But I still see what you mean they look picture perfect together :)

[@prettymessedup7644]

Only seemed that way on t.v., lol. It was an act. You can't trust anything on television though, it's really true.

[@TheBrownIsland]

@@prettymessedup7644 ​ @Pretty Messed Up *They actually Loved each other it wasn't an act.* They had issues because *Sonny was very Controlling* with a *bad Temper.* It was *_his way, or no way._* His true Character used to come out during _"certain"_ Interviews. He would try to *_Control what Cher discussed, would speak for_* Or *_about her_* like she wasn't there. He didn't like that Cher got MOST of the Attention from Audiences & Millions of Viewers _(brought ratings & Revenue$)_ and would downplay her role bringing up how shy she was back in the day. But he found out after she left him years later.

[@brianpratts]

Sonny was not actually a bad person he just had a bad temper which of course everyone does and Cher well of course her ego, her personality was also the problem

[@rhondabitler5474]

Too bad Sonny cheated to beat the band.

[@JeanieHammondcatfeet]

I miss these days! And I love her clothes... And I miss my mommy so much at times like this!

[@ChildOfThe1970s]

I miss my mom too when I see this show! I was a little kid when we used to watch this show together. I had a crush on Cher because she looked a lot like my mom at the time. Mom died in unexpectedly in 1977 when I was only 7 years old and I still miss her and always will. I am just glad for these videos to bring back some good memories.

[@mariamendoza5504]

Jeanine me too.

[@mariamendoza5504]

+Saigon1975 I miss my mom too. She went to heaven on 2014. But watching the Sonny and Cher videos, my memory goes back to the good old 70s. I used to watch the show with my mom. We liked all her gowns and songs. I was a teenager with pimples and long hair to my knees. I remember my mom saying that Cher was a beautiful lady. God bless your mom and continue staying strong. Our moms will always be in our hearts.

[@jenniferm7021]

Cher was and still is so talented and very beautiful. Sadly, early in career, people bashed her much like they bash the singers today. Whether it be her clothes, her hair, or just her style in general people complained. Even today, people won't shut up about her way of life.

[@hongry-life]

It's a man. We have been deceived by TV all our lives for generations/ages and didn't see the females being males.

[@lorimiller4301]

hongry life So Chasity isn't their real daughter ? Always wondered how they had a blonde, blue eyed baby.

[@hongry-life]

I don't think that transgendered people can have babies. I think they become infertile after hormones therapies and surgeries. Many of the celebrity babies are adopted and I think some pretend to be pregnant and buy moonbumps for the photos.

[@ThePoobears]

Lori Miller have you ever seen Cher's mom Georgette.. she too has blond hair Blue eyes..

[@cubanita365]

+Lori Miller babies get their genes from other family members too, not just their parents. you know that, right? Cher's mother and sister were blonde with blue eyes, while Cher got her Indian ancestors genes. and plus, we don't know what Sony looked like as a child or what his family looks like. my dad has blue eyes, and none of his kids or grandkids got that gene except for his oldest granddaughter.

[@davin21]

The fact this episode came out 50 years ago blows my mind (today is February 15, 2022 and original air date was February 14, 1972)

[@hestergreen2031]

Cher is always is a knock-out. Great outfits. Snappy personality to match it

[@MandiMomOf8Channel]

They had such amazing chemistry 💞

[@wenditackett5053]

For the people that ask if they were really fighting, it was a TV show.. They had writers people. It's called acting! Lol

[@AllenMQuinn]

They just saved the fighting for off stage haha

[@RayNDeere]

The used some of the same writers as the Smothers Brothers: Allen Blye, Bob Einstein and Steve Martin did some writing, as did Coslough Johnson (brother of Arte Johnson, who starred on Laugh-In)

[@rhuttrho88]

You see it all the time in behind the scenes shows. They didn't write it, but the animosity was real. He was mad and she was pushing his buttons! Anyone who ever went through a divorce can tell!😮

[@timfurnier7061]

We loved this show when we were children, and we looked forward to seeing it every week (Mondays I think)! You can REALLY see that they loved each other!

[@breckrichardson390]

Wednesday I thought.

No computer work at all. Just them! :D

God, I loved them together and the show had great guests, lots of fun and it was fun!

[@2574mcu]

I was young when this was on TV. I remember how everyone looked forward to it coming on, and then talked about it for days after.

[@briteness]

Excellent clip. I love how Sonny was always willing play the fool & be the butt of every joke. He understood that that was what made the onstage chemistry between the two of them work.

[@BigSisterW]

That's right. And in reality, all she did was use him and play him for a fool.

[@cubanita365]

We loved them here in Australia, back in the day. Very popular in the Seventies.

Why can't shows be as wholesome as this anymore?

Money is the short answer

[@kathywright6853]

Back then they had writers who had wit,they didn't rely on cheap smut to be funny

[@dyrectory_com]

I was only a little one when I watched Sonny & Cher. I recall some singing but never remember the comedy. This comedy routine was brilliant. The banter with the comedic put downs were brilliant, I find humor of such, the most unique kind of intelligence. 💡

Sonny and Cher loved this show regardless of their divorce they made Television and Music History. Hate that Sonny died the way he did but they both brought music and laughter to TV.

[@jackietaylor5035]

It was heard sonny was murder.. killed …

[@ggsraggyful]

They didn't act like they were getting a divorce but when I saw them you could tell Cher didn't want to be on the stage with Sonny. It showed really bad. When she sang alone you could really tell. Cher was do different singing alone. "Better" Her body was to die for. She could wear anything and looked like a million dollars.

[@goodgriefff]

I also could definitely tell her body language towards him was closed off and different than before.

[@woo3131]

she was so pretty!

[@229kara]

WOW! what good times? Great clothing styles. Unique and it is my style. Love it and miss this all.

[@junniehope2993]

Yeah! I agree with you... Actually she looks really good, she's so beautiful at 72 years old right now but is not her original beauty... And I think that she maybe (without surgeries) can be part of the eating years team (Sandra Bullock, Jennifer López, Jennifer Aniston, Anne Hathaway, Gwen Stefani) that they don't look like the normal people of their ages...

She was a very good actress in the films i saw her star in -- that amazes me when someone can be that versatile - sure she was a good singer but she acted as if she had trained in acting all her life - i remember seeing Art Garfunkel co-star with Jack Nicholson and Art pulled it off - he held his own on screen with one of the all time greatest film actors Nicholson -- as for Sonny he became a Congressman - incredible

Sonny was know as wearing lifts. Cher is much taller then Sonny. I think he was 5' 5" and she is 5'8". On their show they were almost always the same hight (lifts). But in pictures and interviews you'll notice he is much shorter then Cher. I think I remember the media commenting/poking fun at Sonny for wearing lifts around Cher. I was a kid in the 70's and remember watching the show, and loving it.
