and Cher Comedy Hour - The Christmas Collection HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Studio: R2 Entertainment Product Description Tony
Orlando & Dawn: The Ultimate Collection Tony Orlando & Dawn: The Ultimate Collection is a beautifully designed package that brings together the best episodes of the various incarnations of the series, a magnificent set that collects 11 of the best episodes of the various incarnations of the series. I had originally dismissed TO&D as a bad Sonny and Cher Show clone but I have a new appreciation for the show now. Guest stars
include the great Jackie Gleason, Phyllis Diller, Hank Aaron, Milton Berle,
Jerry Lewis, Freddie Prinze and more. They had stars then! You'll find
all, or most, of the group's hit tunes in this set (remember Who’s
In the Strawberry Patch With Sally?), and the weekly comedy bits
like Lou Effy and Moreen. The first disc begins with the first episodes from the initial summer run. Disc two covers the 1975-76 seasons. Disc three samples the final version of the series, the Tony Orlando and Dawn Rainbow Hour with regular George Carlin. Carlin was the nation's hottest alternative comedian in 1976; putting him on in primetime with his own solo spot was quite a weird and wonderful thing to do. He performs his finest, early bits here on shows packed with guest stars. By the time
Tony Orlando & Dawn left the air in 1977, the era of the network variety
show was coming to a close, this is a last look at a dying form of entertainment
captured in all its splendor.
