Before Donny & Marie became a TV variety-show staple, the Osmonds had their own Saturday morning cartoon. The Osmonds aired on ABC in 1972 and followed Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, and Jimmy as they traveled the world, sang songs, and got into animated adventures.
It was very much a product of its time, when pop groups could become cartoons and Saturday mornings were packed with music, mystery, comedy, and cereal commercials. For Osmond fans, it was another way to see the brothers, even if it only lasted one season.
