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 @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.

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
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.❤️🙏💕🙏❤️
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.
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.
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.
+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.
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!
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)
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!😮
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...
I still love Cher even though I was born 1966 I heard music all of it and the Sonny and Cher show back in 73 when I was a kid 72 73 just watch it on the tube but I didn't know better still that's classic
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. 💡
I remember watching this show when i was little..back then my mother looked very similar to Cher..i use to think that was my momma on TV..she still giggles when i mention it
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.
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.
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.
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.
+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.
I watched this show back in 1979 on video tape when I was in iraq baghdad barely speak english at that time ,young at the age 17 years old ,I said to my family they will divorce .I don't know why I said that .I always have this in my memory ,your comment kind of encourage me to share this
I know. I was only 5 or 6 when this show started, so I didn’t see the undercurrent then, but now, when he said, “I made you what you are”, my eyebrows nearly merged with my hairline!
Not alot of people knew Sonny was reading cue cards. Cher stated in her book that he wouldn't learn his lines. Also she designed some of the clothes she wore.
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.
❤❤❤I love Sunny and Cher together. They should of stayed together. I miss Sunny Bono very much. They should’ve never divorced. They look really good together and I love when they always sang together. I want to see more of them together when they were happily married
I saw them in Hollywoid on their ahow. She was so tiny and thin as a rail. She akways looks big on screen, but shes a tiny lady with lots of talent. He was very small but had a commanding air about him. He was practicing a sing they both sang in front of the audiance,,and he definitly was in charge. I loved their opening segment. I loved the chmestry between them. I believe that theirs was that once in a lifetime kind of love.
I always wondered that. I think she just tanned a lot back then and now knows better. She’s Armenian and can probably tan pretty dark if she tries but is pale without the sun. I have the same type skin. Not Armenian but Italian. I have a hard time believing she had it lightened.
Why are you guys saying she 'was pretty'? are you freaking kidding me? That woman has been and always will be GORGEOUS. She's 66 now and she's still got a body and face any girl wants.

The 70s were awesome. I watched this show as a kid and loved every minute of it.
Me too ❤
YYEESSS ME 2 WOWO
When I was a kid we had a black and white television. This is the first time I'm seeing this in color.
I was the 100th like lol but I think that’s super cool that it’s your first time seeing it color
Wish to God I owned every outfit that Cher wore in the 70s. Major kickass gear.
Me too
Wasn’t it a top designer who made these outfits? I also heard he made them for free, because he loved Cher’s style.
@@Me97202 Bob Mackie
I hear that. That outfit is groo-vy. 😄
Wish I had the body and hair she had in the 70s!
Cool clothes. No cursing.Just feel good music
Great show. Great chemistry, lots of laughs.
They got along great post divorce ❤ they truly loved each other!!!
Cher is always is a knock-out. Great outfits. Snappy personality to match it
she wore some of the dopest clothes.
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
dakotahstr Yes, and everyone loved them...........designer Bob Mackie
did same for Carol Burnett
mamatibbors cassady watch QVC -- Bob Mackie still designs some of the most beautiful clothes in the world.
Her clothes aren't dopey. Some of them have held up quite well. Plus they were more costumes, than regular clothes.
I ve never wanted them to break up they were great together!
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 :)
Only seemed that way on t.v., lol. It was an act. You can't trust anything on television though, it's really true.

Too bad Sonny cheated to beat the band.
You can see that those two truly loved each other. I never miss a show at the time...
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.

@@KingTriton1837 right, she was crying her eyes out at his funeral and during her giving a eulogy.
They had such amazing chemistry 💞

It's a man. We have been deceived by TV all our lives for generations/ages and didn't see the females being males.
hongry life So Chasity isn't their real daughter ? Always wondered how they had a blonde, blue eyed baby.
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.
Lori Miller have you ever seen Cher's mom Georgette.. she too has blond hair Blue eyes..

I love their back and forth banter ❤. Not filthy dirty jokes just good wholesome humor. I miss shows like this 😢
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!
Wednesday I thought.
In December of 1971, it aired at 8 pm on Friday nites. In 1973, it aired at
8 pm on Wednesday nites.
For the people that ask if they were really fighting, it was a TV show.. They had writers people. It's called acting! Lol
They just saved the fighting for off stage haha

stained front teeth. looks strange.
Becky’s Dead Relatives , I know! So did I! She should have left her teeth and nose alone. It gave her an exotic look.
Cher looks amazing, original teeth and nose looked very unique. 👍👍👍😀
I loved their chemistry
God, I loved them together and the show had great guests, lots of fun and it was fun!
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)
I still love Cher even though I was born 1966 I heard music all of it and the Sonny and Cher show back in 73 when I was a kid 72 73 just watch it on the tube but I didn't know better still that's classic
I was also born in 66. The 70s and 80s were a fun time to grow up.
Sonny and Cher - the Lucy and Ricky of the '70's! Very funny and loved the opening to their shows.
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.
Cos she is not a chick it's a man
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. 💡

Cher is so beautiful!
Wow I forgot how much fun it was to watch these shows. Cher had (has) such a beautiful voice. Sonny was ... Well he was Sonny everybody's best friend!
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.
Sonny & Cher show was so awesome back in the day. Cher is so beautiful , Sonny was a very handsome man. R. I. P. 🍃💙🍃
WOW! what good times? Great clothing styles. Unique and it is my style. Love it and miss this all.
if it's your style why should you be missing it? You should still be wearing it if that's true. Don't be a follower.

Cher was do different singing alone. "Better" Her body was to die for. She could wear anything and looked like a million dollars.
I also could definitely tell her body language towards him was closed off and different than before.
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.
That's right. And in reality, all she did was use him and play him for a fool.
+BigSisterW he did that to her, actually. she didn't even want to be a celebrity at first, he made her do it.
cubanita365 wasn't she like 14 when they met?
+Merri Cat sixteen
Patience Bambrick now days he would be considered a sexual offender.
We loved them here in Australia, back in the day. Very popular in the Seventies.
I like how theres no stupid robotic techno sounds in their music.
No computer work at all. Just them! :D
Love the early Sonny and Cher episodes, where they were still having fun. And Cher looks stunning here...
R.I.P. Sonny Bono!
is there any other way?
How did he die
@@hellothere6937 Skiing accident
cher looks omg amazing
LOL EXACTLY what I was thinking. Relaxed & natural, just oozed sex appeal. (I'm a dude, so I'm sure you understand :P)
Cher's outfit's were so cute all of them wish I could get some of them!👗👛💄👠🛍️👜
She was beautiful. Good lawd that beautiful skin.
she was so pretty!
They had great chemistry! I wish they'd bring back Sonny & Cher reruns.
Why can't shows be as wholesome as this anymore?
Money is the short answer
Back then they had writers who had wit,they didn't rely on cheap smut to be funny
2020 and I'm totally in love with this 70's Cher! 🥰❤️
is she still doing shows?
@@robertbates6249 I'm not sure about this, she is 73 now, but you can find some presentations here on TH-cam in 2017, for example...

It was heard sonny was murder.. killed …
And he DID make Cher!
Tv needs stuff like this today
I miss these days! And I love her clothes... And I miss my mommy so much at times like this!

I wanted to be her so bad, Lol. I think she was only about 24 here.
God, I still do 😂
Puberty and Cher were an interesting combo...
He was 28 and she was 16 when they met.
@@lorimiller4301 Sonny was brighter than he looked
This was around 1977. She was on her early 30s. But she was a doll.
The 70's had the best in every arena. We've regressed at warp speed. Thanks for the rewind.
You know you can see the tension with Cher I didn't noticed it when I was young but I do miss this they did an awesome show

I love them so much !
I just love these! Wasnt around back then..thank you ❤️
The jokes between them were awesome. They had chemistry
Ooh how I just loved Cher’s face before all the sparkle and uniqueness got completely erased and expressionless!!😢
I grew up watching Sonny and Cher as talented icons. Sharon
Back when Sony and cher was on I was in love with Cher and and I loved her ever since you are absolutely amazing very beautiful sweetheart ❤❤❤❤❤
I was so sad when they divorced i watched there show everyweek
I have tons of these episodes taped and on DVD. It's very awesome.
I know I'm late to the game but hi Netflix how are you. I would binge this show so hardcore.
I always wanted and still want to look like a younger Cher.
you'll need reassignment surgery.
😂😂😂They are hilarious putting each other down. 😂 I’ve got to see all their episodes.
Sonny was a great straight man
WOW THOSES WHERE THE DAYS REALLY MISS THOSES TIMES
They were great!!!
I love these two
The Xfinity tv commercial made me want to find some Sonny and Cher and I'm getting my fill and reliving the memories. Good times.
Sonny is funny
I love the way they joke by each other.
I just love cher she is so beautiful and amazing 😍😍🤩🤩❤❤😻😻❤️❤️🥰😘😘💜💜
I loved the Sonny& Cher show. They made such a cute couple!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 Barbara Mozie
I miss these years. ❤️
Sonny's best crack on Cher, ever!
The banter is so fun to watch!
Back in the day when her nails were real no acrylic her hair was real no extensions that was her I love her everyone always said I look like her
Sonny's comedic delivery is what made the show a hit. May he RIP. So sad that their daughter Chelsea ended up having serious issues.
I never knew that Chelsea Handler was their daughter.
@@thereseember2800 she's not. It's Chastity Bono... now Chaz Bono

I've only loved Cher's song the last 10-15 yrs.
I am sorry to hear that.
They were great chemistry,,, it was their show,,, and the times of allot of change,,, even their outfits were top of that sixtys/early seventys look
2:08 You hear Sonny count out loud and see Cher's face switch to fully annoyed.
I noticed that! 😂
What does that matter
No, the set guy behind the curtain is telling her how much Time till the commercial break.
They Q them if it goes too long or too fast.
Good show
i was a litte kid when this was on i had her barbie doll
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.
justme Bob Mackie said they were actually the same height, 5’6
She really was so beautiful
She was only 27 in 1973 this show ran from 71-74
5:34 Classic delivery! Sonny was the BEST!
I notice immediately the clean humor. It is out of control in 2023. It is foul. We were blessed to be kids then weren't we?
❤❤❤I love Sunny and Cher together. They should of stayed together. I miss Sunny Bono very much. They should’ve never divorced. They look really good together and I love when they always sang together. I want to see more of them together when they were happily married
America's perfect married couple at this time😂😂😂
Cher may have moved on in life but she and Sonny had a true love bond like no other. Even a divorce can't divorce true love 😊❤️

Cher used to be really dark. She's so pale now.
Autumn Spring; Probably bleached her skin
Funny what make up did. Even made her look like a real beauty.
I always wondered that. I think she just tanned a lot back then and now knows better. She’s Armenian and can probably tan pretty dark if she tries but is pale without the sun. I have the same type skin. Not Armenian but Italian. I have a hard time believing she had it lightened.
Sun
It was makeup. Cher wasn't that dark.
I would have been 6 years old when this came out, damn I feel old.
I was 7.
I love how sonny pulls stray hair off her face and she pulls him sideways... so cute ❤so in love ❤
Why are you guys saying she 'was pretty'? are you freaking kidding me? That woman has been and always will be GORGEOUS. She's 66 now and she's still got a body and face any girl wants.
surgery saved the day!🙄
My goodness how I wish I was alive during the 70s...for many reasons but one of the biggest, is the Sonny & Cher show!
Yeah... The 70's were awesome. I was a kid, but I remember.
Her hair and grace reminds me alot of my mom’s hair before she started changing it. My mom was gorgeous. Still is in some ways.
So much more talented and classy than any kardashains.
Beautiful hair and outfit
Sonny made Cher a star early on. She just got better with time. She has pipes.❤
