Favorite Variety Show

[mg]

Favorite variety show of the '70's? The nominees are:

Sonny and Cher
Flip Wilson Show
Tony Orlando and Dawn
Donny and Marie
Can't think of any others, can you (Ed Sullivan doesn't count, his show
ended in '70)?

I'll vote for Flip, although I confess to watching Tony Orlando on a regular
basis, as well as Sonny and Cher.

This is a tough one but I have to pick Sonny and Cher.

I loved Carol Burnett (I see someone else mentioned that) and Donny & Marie.
But don't you forget about The Brady Bunch Variety Hour!!

Yes, let's not forget Carol Burnett and Friends. That was my favorite variety
show.

I LOVED Flip Wilson show as a kid.... the 70's version of RuPaul!! ;)
I remember laughing so hard I'd almost wet myself when Flip was doing his
Geraldine routines
Those were the BEST! "The devil made me buy dis dress!"
and "My boyfriend Killer gonna get you!" Too Funny!

I also loved Carol Burnett! That one was the best of them all. Sonny and Cher
was OK but not as funny.

First of all I'm new to the ng, my name is Molly. I'm really interested in
stuff from the 70s (especially music and TV, kids shows in paticular). I just
saw this thread and here are my fave shows.

ShaNaNa
Bonkers (The Hudson Brothers)
Donny & Marie
Sonny & Cher
Cher
Captain and Tanielle (yes they had a show)
Pink Lady and Jeff (can't remember if that was 70s or 80s)

Okay that's all for now. =o)

Welcome to the '70s, Molly! This is such a fun group to take part in, so dig
right in and groove with us.

It's been hard for me to admit, but I really liked Donny and Marie. I just loved
his purple socks! Lord help me but I had a secret crush on Bowzer. Also enjoyed
Captain and Tennille, though he really irked me somewhat when I was a kid since he
never, or rarely, spoke. The music was good and I always thought she was so
pretty and wanted to look like her when I grew up. That's a far cry! LOL

I loved the summer replacement series.
When Sonny & Cher went on hiatus CBS would give other shows a crack.
The Keane Brothers (pre-Hanson :)
Tony O & Dawn
Panty Shields & Yarnell
Captain & Tennille
any others........
jam

P.S. C'mon, PINK LADY sucked.
anyone remember 4 girls 4 ??????
