In the winter of 1975, Sonny & Cher were no more, as the duo had divorced. Sonny Bono shifted from CBS to ABC for the short-lived Sonny Comedy Revue, but it was already gone by the time Cher's solo series bowed on CBS.
Cher had already scored a monster solo hit with "Gypsies, Tramps, & Thieves", and the hits would just keep on coming. At the time of this series, Cher had been in a relationship with record producer David Geffen, the subject of Joni Mitchell's "Free Man in Paris". Geffen served as a producer for this series, which lasted almost a full calendar year before ending, leading to a revival of the Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour after Sonny & Cher reconciled.
Never saw the show (the folks were into Disney and other fare), so there won't be a rating. We'll leave you with a medley, including "Chattanooga Choo-Choo", "Well, All Right", and "Opus One", as Cher is joined by the Pointer Sisters, Teri Garr, and Freddie Prinze (Chico & The Man).
