1. The Carol Burnett Show - The queen of variety. My heart goes out to Carol for losing her daughter to cancer. Congratulations on your recent marriage.
2. Sonny and Cher - The one when they were married. The second show after the divorce was horrible.
3. Donny and Marie - The 70s one and talk show
4. The Flip Wilson Show - The first two seasons was cool.
5. Both Mary Tyler Moore variety shows in 78-79. It came when the format was dead. Other than that it was very good.
6. Van Dyke and Company. Dick show a great deal of versatility.
7. Cher - She held her own.
8. The Dean Martin Show - Very good.
9. Redd Foxx's variety show. It was good and edgy.
10. In Living Color - Cutting edge to the core.
