Sonny & Cher had their own TV series, which premiered on August 1, 1971 and lasted for only six broadcasts. Before they resumed their long-running series (December 27, 1971-May 29, 1974), they were seen in one CBS late night special which aired from 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM...a variety hour which featured Suzanne Charney, Sandy Baron and Billy Van.
