We are pleased to be able to award the Dove Family-Approved Seal to the DVD, “Sonny and Cher: The Christmas Episodes.” This covers the three Christmas episodes from each of the three seasons that Sonny and Cher were on television together. Most of the scenes were very funny and some were very poignant and touching. However, the last episode which took place after Sonny and Cher had divorced was much like spending Christmas with a divorced couple- a few sweet moments but mostly awkward. Overall, these are great Christmas laughs for the entire family.

There were a few instances of Sonny and Cher kissing (when they were married) as well as a scene where Sonny and Cher play an unmarried couple making out. There was social drinking throughout with wine but there was one scene where most were consuming hard liquor. There is also an instance with a drunk man and some smoking. The last objectionable scene is when a woman is reading an issue of “Playboy” with a scantily-clad woman on the front but it was from a distance. Due to these scenes, we award our Dove Seal to this DVD for ages twelve and above.
