Informações do produto

Looking for a pop act with youth appeal (that desperately needed TV exposure), CBS casts its eye toward The Jacksons in 1976. The group had fallen on hard times, this was after The Jackson 5's big hits ended in 1974 and before Michael Jackson's 'Off The Wall' album changed the face of music five years later. Joe Jackson signed Michael and his brothers to CBS-TV in 1976. 'The Jacksons' was a 30-minute program that ran for four weeks featuring the entire family (except Jermaine), with celebrity guest stars.
"We're the Jacksons!" Michael chirped to open the pilot which aired June 16, 1976. "All of you who were expecting The Osmonds, do not adjust the color on your set." The series scored some impressive ratings despite the fact that the variety show genre was becoming passé by the mid-'70s. As with the Jackson 5/The Jacksons regular performances, Michael Jackson was the lead performer in most musical and dance performances of the series.
This was the first time a black family had ever starred in a TV series, AND where the entire cast of a series were siblings. And if the show received decent ratings, there was a chance CBS might pick it up in January as a mid-season replacement.
