Longtime fans and even a new generation of Osmond fans weren’t surprised that Marie Osmond did so well on “Dancing with the Stars.” Great talent, hard work and determination in the face of difficulties and crises is what we have come to expect from Marie, Donnie and the entire Osmond clan over the years. This was evident in all of the Osmond children, even from the very youngest, and Donny and Marie have credited their parents with instilling this in them many times in interviews.
The Osmond family celebrates a momentous achievement this year along with throngs of fans young and old with fifty years of entertainment that has been forever captured on TV, movies and now on DVD so future generations can watch and be entertained just as we have. we. all these years by the mega talented Donny and Marie Osmond.
Donny and Marie were well-rounded children, with strong, religious and loving parents who kept all of the Osmond children well grounded. But they were a bit of Country and a bit of Rock and Roll, and very “cool” as far as kids were concerned. The Donnie and Marie Show was a variety show that originally aired on ABC from 1976 to 1979.
Donny and Marie had already made a name for themselves in the music industry before their variety show aired. Donny and his blood brothers together as The Osmonds. While Marie had a number 1 song on the Billboard charts (she is one of the youngest singers to achieve it) titled Paper Roses in 1973.
Donny and Marie’s show had songs, of course, but also comedy skits, a bit of skating and always a spectacular finale before Donny and Marie closed the show with a song that became special to many of us who tuned in to their show. program every week. That song was “May Tomorrow be a Perfect Day.”
Donny and Marie are without a doubt the embodiment of true classic television stars. But they’ve also been able to maintain their popularity even though the face of television has changed a lot since the late ’70s. The recordings of the Donny and Marie variety show might have been hidden away in forgotten vaults along with other classic TV shows like I Love Lucy, The Andy Griffin Show, Happy Days, The Carol Burnet Show and other wonderfully entertaining classic TV shows.
Fortunately, someone had the foresight to take these classic TV shows out of their dark vaults and play them again so that a new generation of kids would fall in love and an older generation would enjoy the shows that were so much a part of our country’s culture. time back then. There’s something comforting about reliving the experiences of our youth while watching reruns of our favorite classic TV shows. It’s also nice to share these beloved favorites with children and grandchildren and discover that there’s no gender gap when it comes to enjoying wholesome classic TV shows together. You can watch many of your favorite classic TV shows broadcast on networks dedicated to streaming classic TV, which have large audiences of all ages.
DVDs have become a popular medium for watching movies and series of special episodes of our favorite television shows. You don’t need a TV schedule to mark special broadcast dates on the calendar because with DVDs, you’re in control of when you watch them. Keeping up with changing times, many of our favorite classic TV shows are now being digitally remastered on DVD for crisp, clear picture and sound formats that allow us to relive the magic those classic TV shows created for us back then. moment and continue as we do. see them again.
Donny and Marie’s variety show is now available on DVD and the Osmonds have been creating magic, entertainment and a fascination with everything Osmond for fifty years. One secret to their longevity is the utter humility they display even with the celebrity stature they’ve gained over the years. They have also always been very open in sharing not only their successes and triumphs, but also their difficulties. For example, Donny and Marie openly share their sadness that two of the older Osmond siblings are deaf and how hard it must be for them to be part of a singing family and not be able to hear singing. Donny and Marie and the Osmond family demonstrated strength and determination, even in times of crisis and hardship. Their strength as a family became even clearer last year when Donny, Marie and 125 other Osmonds appeared on Oprah’s Show just days after the death of their father, George Osmond.
I don’t see the star over Donny and Marie Osmond ever fading. I hope your family purchases or receives a Donny and Marie Show DVD this year. You will surely be inspired and entertained.
