The Jackson 5ive

Show Summary

Aired: 1971 - 1973
Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: US

The adventures of Motown's hit sibling group, The Jackson Five. The 5 got into wacky situations each week, usually instigated by young Michael. Each episode was highlighted by a musical video sequence in the trippy style of "The Yellow Submarine." The show was produced by Rankin/Bass, makers of "The Osmonds," "Silverhawks," "The Comic Strip," a ton of stop-motion "animagic" specials ("Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," etc.), and many more classics.

NOTE: Due to their demanding schedules, The J5 were unable to provide their speaking voices for their animated counterpatrs.

My three older brothers and me WORSHIPPED this show. We watched it faithfully EVERY Saturday morning. And we all picked characters. Since I was the youngest, I always picked "Michael"...although, in real life he was 2-3 years my senior. I could not get enough of the "mix" that the theme song consisted of. Boy, was those the good ole dayz!
