As was done on occasion on The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, this episode opens with series’ regulars Peter Cullen, Murray Langston, and Freeman King riding on an animated train while introducing the guest stars.
Harry Harris of The Philadelphia Inquirer saw potential in Bono's solo outing, "Can Sonny make it as a TV star without Cher? ABC's first 'Sonny Comedy Revue' suggests that his chances aren't bad. The variety hour is fast-moving, crammed with camera tricks and often quite amusing... Plus marks go to some zany skits."
The premiere episode ranked 41st out of 61 programs for the week. Not a good sign but the other networks started their Sunday nights at 7:30, Sonny’s show came on ABC at 8:00. The October 24, 1974 episode ranked 50th out of 53 shows.
Even a fan of Sonny Bono like myself was horrified by the badly written skits and mostly bland guest stars. The final episode aired on Sunday, December 29, 1974 at 8:00pm EST.
