My husband and I had this song playing when we renewed our vows ❤!!!

I remember when the show started August 1971 - we would rush home from the country club to catch it. Wow, miss those days when television mattered.

[@kurtb8474]

Sure miss Sonny. I was choked up when we lost him.

Art Carney was performing comedy professionally on major network radio shows, from the time he was a teenager. There's film footage of him, aged 17, doing a comedy spot on a show.

17:35 - Those gold sequinned costumes were also worn by Carol Burnett's dancers, on her own show.

In the World War II segment, the Irish soldier is Ted Ziegler; the Brooklyn Jewish one is Peter Cullen (the show's announcer, and the future voice of Optimus Prime, Eeyore, and many more cartoon characters); the Naïve Farmboy one is Tom Solari (brother of 1950s Mousketeer Jay-Jay, and now a very powerful member of Scientology); and the Black one is Freeman King.

I hate the way her eyebrows were shaped and how they did her make-up. Made her look older than she actually was.

[@johnsegreti8367]

I think she looked great

[@OofusTwillip]

That was high-glam make-up in the early 1970s.

[@leumamk5259]

@@johnsegreti8367 Well, of course, beauty is subjective, so ok... To me, her beauty peak was 1969 and 1975 when her eyebrows had a normal shape and size, and her make up was light, complimenting her facial features. As I said, those thin cabaret-ish eyebrows and the make up she used during that time (1971-1974) made her look older.

[@DonnaLombardo-n5i]

She looked better then I think

Cheesy 1970's Variety TV at it's worst.

[@johnsegreti8367]

So wrong They had chemistry beyond

[@snarkyenigma9219]

@@johnsegreti8367 What does their chemistry have to do with cheesy 1970's variety shows? Apples and oranges.

[@johnsegreti8367]

@@snarkyenigma9219 all the variety shows then we're cheesy, the chemistry they had just made you forgive that !

[@OofusTwillip]

You've never seen "The Captain & Tennille" or "Donny & Marie". They were far, far cheesier. But the worst was in the 1980s: "Pink Lady and Jeff".

@@OofusTwillip CheesIER for sure, but that doesn't exonerate Sonny and Cher.
