5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Trip Down Memory Lane!, November 2, 2006

This review is from: The Donny and Marie 1978 Christmas Show (DVD)

This show was excellent in every aspect. I was captivated from the opening number and stayed glued to my TV until the closing credits. It was so fun to see the entire Osmond Clan decked out in their holiday finest having such a wholesome and lighthearted good time. I especially enjoyed seeing Debbie, Donny's wife sing a duet with Donny. And the other wives put on a musical extravaganza as well. There was even a guest appearance by the Osmond grandparents. I would recommend this DVD to anyone who wants to really enjoy an old fashioned Christmas special. There is a mixture of traditional Christmas songs, some uptempo numbers, and even some spiritual songs included. A particularly poignant segment included little brother Jimmy singing a song out in the snow. I'd never seen the two lesser-known older brothers before but they were in the middle of everything on this particular show. One of the best Christmas specials I've seen in a long time. It made me wish that I was part of their family. After watching this I'm more convinced than ever that I am the fat Osmond who Mother Osmond abandoned in the hospital only to be adopted by some nice folks here in the Pacific Northwest!

5.0 out of 5 stars Osmond Family doing what they do best...., November 10, 2006

This review is from: The Donny and Marie 1978 Christmas Show (DVD)

Christmas with the Osmonds was always a fun event, growing up in the 70s. All these new talk about bringing back the family unit, from Oprah to Jamie Oliver, The Osmond Family unbashfully serves their interpretation of the family to millions around the world, and influenced a whole generation. This episode is a fun participatory program with the entire Osmond family, wives, kids, even Grandmothers. A segment, featuring the Osmond Kitchen was deleted by many stations in Asia, to make room for more advertising. So this show was an "extended" version that fans in Asia saw. This show was significant to Asian fans because it was the first time we saw Donny's wife, Debbie onscreen, and a few months later, some were able to meet her in person as she toured with the family throughout South East Asia. Brings back great memories.........

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Holiday Watching for the Whole Family, November 24, 2006

This review is from: The Donny and Marie 1978 Christmas Show (DVD)

This DVD single-handedly saved Thanksgiving this year. Adults found themselves smiling and somewhat surprised by how entertaining the Osmonds really were, and my three year old nephew became an instantaneous fan. He asked several times if we could watch "the snow video" again -- and he seems to like Donny's rendition of "Three Times a Lady" the best. (!?!)
