The Sonny And Cher Comedy Hour (1971-74)
During the 1970s, variety shows were all the rage. While they haven’t precisely been timeless in the eyes of the younger generation, there was something appealing about watching a show that had a variety of components such as humor, music, comedy, sketches, and monologues. Of course, Sonny Bono and Cher were two of Hollywood’s biggest stars at the time. Though the show was only supposed to air during the dreadful summer season, it lasted four seasons, thanks in large part to the legendary couple’s popularity. This comedy show’s theme song, “I Got You Babe,” will live on in our hearts forever.

The Bob Newhart Show (1972-78)
We’d be remiss if we didn’t put Bob Newhart among the top comedians in professional comedy history during the previous 60 years. When prodded, Newhart’s timing was impeccable, as was his quick-witted delivery. The Bob Newhart Show provided him with a platform to display his entire skill set. He portrayed a psychologist who frequently interacted with the most significant persons in his life. As Newhart’s schoolteacher wife, the late Suzanne Pleshette was a fantastic counterbalance. The show aired 142 episodes before being cancelled in April 1978.
