Donny and Marie

By Wikipedia

Donny & Marie was a variety show which aired on ABC from 1976 to 1979. It starred brother and sister pop duo Donny and Marie Osmond. The former had first become popular singing in a music group with his brothers (The Osmonds), and his sister was one of the youngest singers to place #1 on the Billboard Country Music charts (for "Paper Roses" in 1973).

Like most variety shows of its time, it consisted of many comedic skits, followed by songs performed by the duo. The most famous song performed on the show was "I'm a Little Bit Country," in which Marie was a "little bit country" while Donny was a "little bit rock-n-roll."

Originally, the show was created by Sid & Marty Krofft and was videotaped in Los Angeles, but creative control of the show was given to the Osmonds after a long battle, and Donny & Marie was moved to the Osmonds' own production center in Provo, Utah in 1978.

Donny and Marie is the most amazing show ever! The two youngest sibling duo to have their own television show and boy howdy do we know why? Skating, fabulous stuff. And their voices, still melt my heart. They should bring this television show back, I miss it so much! --Anonymous
