Description:
America's favorite siblings are back in this fabulous collection of the very best moments from their hit TV variety show, Donny and Marie.
Not seen since it was originally aired, this 2-disc set is filled with your favorite musical performances, comedy sketches, guest appearances and much more!
Amazon.com:
The jokes may be corny and the content squeaky clean, but it's hard to resist the toothy charms of Donnie & Marie. (When Donnie gets a call on his loafer phone, Marie quips, 'That's shoe business!') No matter how crazy the characters (Captain Purple and Wonderful Woman), tacky the outfits (heavy on the rhinestones, feathers, and gold lamé), or incredible the situations (Donnie on stilts), the brother-sister duo always look like they wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Though this collection focuses on only four episodes, it does cover every year of the popular Sid and Marty Krofft-produced variety series (1976-1979). Since Marie was 'a little bit country' and Donnie 'a little bit rock and roll,' each installment features selections from both genres--although 'rock and roll' usually means R&B and disco--along with giggly sketches and skating from the Vegas-style Ice Vanities. Musical selections include 'Jive Talkin',' 'Yakety Yak,' 'I'm Your Puppet,' 'Dance to the Music,' and 'Good Day Sunshine.' Guests include Charo, Paul Lynde, Ruth Buzzi, Bob Hope, Cheryl Ladd, Carl Reiner (as Carmen Miranda), and Minnie Pearl (as Shirley Temple). While the cavity-prone should steer clear of this sugary flashback, for the rest of the viewing audience, Donnie & Marie offers boundless enthusiasm, supreme silliness, and the widest smiles of the 1970s (next to Jimmy Carter). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - Donny and Marie>>>Simply The Best!!!!!!!!
Donny and Marie Osmond became the youngest brother and sister duo to have a television show.
Every week we laughed and we were entertained by the comedy and music of Donny and Marie and often the Osmond family.
Every week we listened to some country songs and to some good old rock and roll!!!
Every week we were blessed by words written by Alan Osmond and sung by Donny and Marie.........
"May tomorrow be a perfect day.........."

A must have, great for a gift too...just wish it was longer, it let you wanting to watch more.
Rating:  - I have the entire series from time-code masters
This set is disappointing. As others have written the shows are *not* complete. I own the entire series from 1976 to 1979 and each show runs 50+ minutes. I hope Donny will release complete shows soon- I need the artwork!
Rating: - good butttttttt
Vol. 1-Best of Ive been an osmond fan for 36 years and I was very disappointed in this 2 disc set. I was expecting full episodes. I was also expecting to see their very first show. I can still remember their first opening song, thats the way i like it, made popular by KC and the sunshine band. the donny and marie show, although over 30 years ago, was so burned into my memory but i didnt recognize or remember any of the songs or skits in this set. If this is supposed to be their best, maybe I will pass ... Read More
Rating: - At last, donny & Marrie on DVD
Finally I found my childhood heros ( Donny & Marrie), the DVD was real fun to watch and took me back 30 years in time, it brought back a lot of memoreis, but I expected to watch full shows, the DVD showed selected songs and acts from different ones, still, I am grateful.
