“Last year, getTV brought back Judy Garland to our Monday night variety block.  And this year, we believe the only entertainer who can possibly follow her is Cher,” said Jeff Meier, SVP of Programming, getTV. “Cher is a quadruple threat—an icon of music, movies, fashion and TV—relevant across six decades, and we’re thrilled to present this handpicked selection of episodes from across her three variety series, two of them showcasing her unique and endearing relationship with the beloved Sonny Bono. We’re happy to make these shows available again to the legions of fans who first fell in love with Cher while watching them, and to newer generations just now discovering the magic of Cher.”

For some younger viewers, the variety show concept might seem new, but it was a mainstay of broadcast television for decades. Since the episodes date back to the ’70s, with the first show debuting in 1971, guests include headliners of television, music and film from back in the day, like Jean Stapleton, Jimmy Durante, Andy Griffith, Burt Reynolds, Frankie Valli and Merv Griffin. Even Joe Namath gets into the act. While presenting then-current show business greats, “The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour” introduced some new folks you might have heard of like Steve Martin and Teri Garr.

The 30 shows will begin airing on Monday nights, with replays during the month.
