Dinah Shore’s show premiered 9 September 1974 and continued through to 4 September 1981.

She started out in the 1970's with Dinah's Place which usually featured one guest and was more of a home-oriented show about cooking, crafts and occasionally music. This format lasted until May of 1974. When the show came back in October of 1974 the format had changed drastically to a variety/talk show which was called Dinah! and went on until 1981. This show was also known as Dinah and Friends during the summer of 1976.

Season 3, Episode 48

Dinah Shore's guests were:

1. George Kirby (impressionist-comedian) - Sailor Man
2. Lynn Anderson (country singer) - Rose Garden
3. ABBA - Mamma Mia, interview, Fernando
4. Wild Cherry (rock group) - Play That Funky Music
5. Miss Teenage America, Cathy Durden.

The first few seconds of Fernando were played over shots of plants and scenery.

Dinah asked Benny and Frida if they'd like to get married on her show and they refused saying, "We will get married when we have the time, and in the place we want to, at least not in front of the television cameras."

Dinah Shore died in 1994.
