Wow. I am 66 years old today in 2022. I loved those days, and my heart still flies when I see Cher. Those were such wonderful days, and the memories I have are so priceless. There was a feeling back then, and unless you were there, well,,,all I can say is that I would go back, in a heartbeat. Thank you.

I remember when our family watched this my mom said disapprovingly "I don't think Cher's wearing a bra!!" I was 17 and boy did I sit up and pay attention! 🤣

Cher was so beautiful back then, and Sonny was so adorably cute. Every Girl wanted Cher Hair.

I wish I could go back to the 70s for one day!!

I never missed a show. Much respect for Sonny. A success in the music and entertainment industry. He was talented and funny. He wrote songs. When all of that crashed, he re-invented himself. He became a successful businessman and restaurateur. Then he became Mayor of Palm Springs. And finally, he became a U.S. Congressman.

Loved this show remember clearly watching this in the early 70's

I watched this with my Grandmother. We were roomies. Great times!! 🎉🎉

I remember being a small child, sitting on my Daddy's lap with a snack in my hand and watching Sonny and Cher. Precious memories.

I love that cartoon at the beginning...far out! And this was a old time variety show being done by then young people...too bad we don't have stuff like this anymore

I can’t believe that this was almost 50 years ago! So much history has happened since then. Sonny has been gone a long time. Cher still looks great. I wish they still made variety shows like that. The music was great and the costumes were fantastic. Now we have a jillion cable and internet channels and most of them are garbage.

These were the best days of television. Cher is amazing and Sonny was funny too

In 1976 we would watch this show religiously !!!

I loved watching their shows! This was when Cher still looked Armenian.

THis was by no means one of their best shows, but what's amazing is that they did these multiple musical numbers for each show every week. Incredible.

This was one of the best shows in my day I'm still got a crush on Cher

Watching this Christmas Day at 7 pm.... 2023. I was 3 when this first aired.

I remember seeing these shows when I was a kid. Brings me back.

Great, light, simple American comedy. Loved it!

I remember when I was a 7 year old girl watching the Sonny & Cher show I adored that show, and to my surprise in this Christmas 🎁 show I saw that " bugs Bunny" stuffed 🧸 toy on the shelf when William Conrad first was performing, I couldn't believe it! Because I remember I did get that bugs Bunny 🐰 doll that Christmas 🎄🎁🐰 I absolutely loved that stuffed bugs Bunny and it talked too❗ lol 😆 I think when you squeezed the carrot 🥕 piece it talked like certain phrases bugs Bunny made ohh whatta happy Christmas 🎄🎁 I had as a kid, loved this era in life wish I could rewind the decades back to the late 1960s & and early 70s glad I was born in 1965🩷💕🕊️

This is better than watching the same things on TV over and over again.

Don't remember if I saw this 1972?! Hard to believe it was an hour show, but only 35 minutes long?! 🤔 Met Cher years ago at a book signing in Santa Monica, was just like you see her on tv. Very pleasant and made jokes. I told her that it was a shame that a local radio station had changed format, as her album/CD had just been released, and would have received airplay. She agreed, and said thanks for listening to it! Later saw her in concert at Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim. What a show... 'Wild Orchid' opened, followed by 'Cyndi Laupner' and finally 'Cher'! Massive sing-a-long to her hit "Believe"! 😃🤗 Also met Chastity at her book signing in WeHo, when she had openly come out... long before she became Chaz. 🤗 As for Sonny, have visited his gravesite in Palm Springs. 😢 The headstone reads... "And the beat goes on"... It still does... Thank you Sonny & Cher for those great variety shows of the '70's, and my memories of you two! 😁

Loved sonny RIP..he was so funny 😆

Loved to watch them , but man they tortured the jingle bell song. Merry Christmas everyone 2021.👍🏻🎅🤶🍭🎄❄☃️⛄🌲🙏🙏

It's so great to see this. I remember watching their T.V. show in the Seventies. Also great to see William Conrad, a very talented actor and director. Thank you!

They had so much fun together

I can remember this 😊 Watched all of their shows 😍 Didn't have remote but then there were only 13 channels 🤤😪😪 😂😂

Cher looks gorgeous!❤

Great TV that year, Sonny and Cher, Kung FU , Love American Style, The Mod Squad. Love their album of 72 has A Cowboys work is never done on it.Remember one show vividly,the night Three Dog Night did the song ,Black and White.50 years ago . Merry Christmas!🎁 Everyone.2022 a week away.Still here. Shout out to the Indian with the teardrop rolling down his cheek that year.

They should've sang more Christmas songs. I love the matching fur hats! There's Chastity at the end.

They were so hip! As a teen,I loved this show.

I remember watching this every Sunday night when I was a young lad!

wish we could go back in time every boudy was watching sunny and CHER

Loved their show it was awesome.

Omg they look and sound fantastic, love it!

I can't imagine having such a great figure!

Blast from the past, same year I graduated.

20:40, seeing Cher with her hair up, tenderly reading to her little girl Chastity shows a softer side of her...

Cher looks as beautiful as she did back then now as now in 2021

share once said sunny "is the oak tree in my life"

There you go they just said joy to the world and peace on earth this was the most neatest show back then to watch.you might not think so!

I like how Sonny say is blue my favourite colour when they do the Sonny and Cher on vacation I know that Sonny loves blue cause his wears a lot of blue stuff on their show

Cher is a goddess. Always was and always will be. It is too bad she messed with her face but that is entirely her choice.

Cher is the best 💕

Actually, I wish this WAS the episode with Captain Kangaroo. This is one of the two Christmas episodes with William Conrad.

RIP Sonny

Murray Langston AKA The Unknown Comic regular of The Gong Show.

A late Canadian comedic actor worked as an extra on the Sonny & Cher show. He said in an interview that both of them were first class arrogant as*holes.

Bills story of the Life of Jesus was a perfect ending to a lovely Christmas special. Thank you so much Clarke. Wishing you and your viewers a blessed Christmas.😊

Cher had a nice little set

I adore these guys

Rip sonny Cher I love youu

😂I know my grandma 😎she couldn't 😊😅 believe tv let her show here belly button probably the 70's.

I was born on dec 9 1972…. I wonder when this aired. Such a great piece of history!

Very conscious. Nice. For a variety of American Culture. Well done

Great upload. FYI: The video is their Christmas show from 1972, not 1976. The still image is from their 1976 show.

I love this great Sonny And cher Christmas Special

I was born in the early 60’s and remember that…it seemed to me as a kid anyway, that during the 70’s at least, every popular singer/group would end up getting a variety show. From “The Captain and Tennille Show, Engelbert Humperdinck, The Jackson’s, Tony Orlando, etc., could you imagine the horrible acts now…lack anything if value and autotuned…having variety shows? Oh man, that would truly destroy the country! 🤭🙈🙉🙊

Now imagine what it must have been like to have been a 4 year-old watching these hippies in this groovy show! Sonny breaking on Cher about being an Indian was pretty funny!

Last few minutes are focused on Jesus . How nice, how surprising. Wow

My Grandma cried when they got divorced

W0W!

Nice 👍

Lyrics: Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight, oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh

Remember this... ??? ENJOY, 2022...

Always loved their straight men!

These shows look so schmaltzy. But times have changed so much

That song "The world is black, the world is white" is exactly what we need today. We are all brothers and sisters under our Father God! Acts 17:26 "And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth..."

ENJOY, 2022... LOVE IT...

😊

Gawd. He was lucky to be at the right place at the right time and ride her talent.

William Conrad played Matt Dillon on the radio version of Gunsmoke, but he did NOT play Captain Kangaroo.

Wish I got a new Quad 8track stereo with 8track tapes for Christmas again today..

My mistake, William Conrad tells the story of the nativity in this one because the following year he tells the story of Virginia O’Hanlan.

Speaks for today! We need to live harmony

Anyone notice Teri Garr around the 25:55 mark? I think she got her start on the sonny and Cher show. Whatever happened to Teri Garr anyway?

Gene Klein saw this and said..... 'yeah... Why not.'

Cher Wears Wigs, Just Like Dolly Parton. .😰😰😰😰😢😢😢😢 I Never Knew That.

That's what u need on tv now but probably won't see in this crummy world today they don't want to mention God at all that's why this world right now is going hell

MICHAEL, SAYS... HELLO.."

Before Cher went to sleep.

Even then there was a lot of commercial time for a 60 minute show! There was only 35 minutes of actual show time.

Entertainment standards were largely low back then and haven't gotten much higher in the last 50 years.

Introduced by Peter Cullen.

Something seems a bit different about Chaz. I can't seem to figure it out though.

No fake hair, all natural..no tattoos....all real..all.the time. No 'apologies' God is God. Jesus is Lord and Christmas is Christmas..

Billy Van was Canadian and I used to see him on CHCH TV's Party Game and later a kid's show called The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. He's really wasted here, and I don't mean in the good way.

The last credits read 1972. What a statement song by two people who were politically conservative or maybe they would become the way when they possibly got mad at their child when they discovered that they were different from what Sonny and Chere thought. I hope the ex Chasity is doing okay. My mother has never excepted what I am neither, but, I don't care. in spite of their politics, I enjoyed Sonny and Cher's art . This was right before they broke up and she would become the top solo performer with hits like," half breed. Then would become a top actress, also. In films like Moon Struck. Sonny would end up being a Mayor. I remember when they were interviewing his now second widow when he died.

I liked Cher back then ,,,as she got older her personality changed ,,,don’t care much for her now

It’s a Ringo and Shelly Long Christmas.

Imagine fighting with your spouse, then you have to go out and perform for millions of people on TV and a studio audience. That's why cocaine was readily available backstage.

1976 was a good birth year for me. That year I came into this wicked world by two hippy farmers. But who's Sonny and Cher?

Looks like Cher would rather be somewhere else

Why do Sonny sound so different in half the show like when his sung his sounded like his was sick or voice crack or something 😢

So, this show was a "thing" back in the 70's?? I like watching old retro shows from that era, but I must say, the Sonny & Cher Shows are by far the most corny, cheesy, god-awful shows I have ever seen. And for some reason, I love it! But, I HATE it! But.....I looooove it!

When was this og broadcast?

I'm looking at this in light of Cher leaving Sonny heartbroken. He really loved her. I'm trying to see where she is at here. After the first song she is looking at him like what is in his left hand. Now with the kiss scene he had garlic in his left hand 🧤. Her reluctance to his kiss and other affections may have been a previous Discussion and sign of separation eventually.

This was great, but by far, the best part of this was from 32:30 onward. Jesus is the reason for the season!

I remember being slightly annoyed with Sonny and Cher for altering the classic "Jingle Bells" but now it feels so quaint and a little poignant.

Oh Boy! Another Frank Zappa and Sara Silverman. I have many faces I could switch many ways in many combinations.

This was horrible give me Bing Crosby any time.
