Has anyone ever heard of the 70's cartoon show The Jackson 5? I bought the DVD yesterday and instantly fell in love with the series! It's so cool that the voices of the J-5 were the members of the J-5 themselves. It's so awesome, and I love simple animation back then! :) :D

I love the show! I laugh so hard at some parts, and I think that Michael is so adorable in it! Well, I also like Tito, too. He's funny! :)

...The show features six Jacksons , doesn't it ?????????
Including the one who only became a full member when they left Motown in ythe mid-70s but Jermaine stayed with Motown and , because the name " The Jackson 5 " was copyrighted , they became just " The Jacksons " and the youngest one became a full member .
There is a vintage comic book cover from the era that I want to post ! !! !! !! !! !!
Considering that I lost the comic LONG , long , ago :cry: - and I'm going to jail to-day , as I said :( -

I think it only features 5: Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael. Randy didn't come into the group much later, until the late 70's. He was too young at the time to be in the Jackson 5. :)

I watched that when I was a kid, yes! I loved it! I loved the music and yes, the simpler style of animation back then was charming.

I also watched the Osmonds cartoon but I wasn't so into them as the J5.
