There's a sketch in the pilot where Cher, Elton John, Bette Midler, and Flip Wilson imagine themselves at the "Final Curtain Rest Home For Aged Performers" 50 years in the future. We've officially reached that future, and three of them are still going strong. Cher was 28 when CBS gave her a solo series after splitting from Sonny, and 40 million viewers tuned in for the pilot. She packed the hour with duets, comedy bits, and songs about trashy ladies with shady pasts. I'm ready for a rest home reunion.
