If you don't mind the 30 minutes of this video, then it's worth buying it. Yes, it is also true, that I do wish it were longer, but I am a true Jackson fan (always have and will be!). I love to share the DVD with others who can't afford it. I loan it out to my friends and family. This is a collectors item. Marlon did a great job with the details of his musical family. Quite funny in the end when they did a few out takes before the credits rolled, I laughed knowing that the brothers have a great sense of humor. Still a very personal and informative short documentary. To me, this was not disappointing at all.

I only wish it were longer but it portrayed the Jackson family as regular people. I especially loved the interview with the brothers at the end. I wish Motown, American Bandstand, and other shows from the 60s and 70s will release DVDs of the Jacksons performances. They rocked as a family.

Loved the video, although it should've been longer. I would have loved to see more of the Jackson Five footage, the complete performances. This video shows clips of footage. I must admit it took me back some years, but it was well worth it. I allowed my family to view the video and they loved it as well, but wished it would've been longer. This brought back some good time memories. "I Think About The Good Times." I would ask that each of you purchase this video as a collectors item to reflect back on the good old times, and most of all to support the Jackson Family. I hope they will come out with a video of the Jackson Five showing full tv shows and concerts they did back in the day. Thank you Marlon for doing such a fantastic job on the narration. Also, I thought the interview Marlon's daughter did with the Jackson Five plus Randy was great.

A great story told by Marlon Jackson of the Jackson Five. I actually this as a gift for a diehard J5 fan.

I WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE JACKSON FAMILY AND HOW THEY WERE DOING. IT WAS GOOD TO HEAR MARLON TALKED ABOUT HIS FAMILY AND SEE HOW CLOSE THEY ARE. IT WAS SAD ABOUT THE DEATH OF THEIR BROTHER MICHAEL.HE IS MISSED. I LOVE HIM AS IF HE WERE MY OWN CHILD. TO ME, MICHAEL,WAS TRULY AN ICON AND ONE OF GOD'S BEST. I FEEL THAT HE HAS DONE ALL THAT HE COULD HAD DONE WHILE HERE ON EARTH. HE HAS TOUCH MANY PEOPLE HEARTS.I THINK HIS WORK HERE ON EARTH WAS FINISHED AND IT'S WAS TIME FOR HIM GO HOME TO BE WITH THE LORD. LISTENING TO MARLON AND HIS BROTHERS TALKED ABOUT THEIR FAMILY, IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR HOW CLOSE THEY ALL ARE AND TO KNOW AND SEE HOW MUCH LOVE THEY HAVE FOR EACH OTHER. TO MARLON AND HIS BROTHERS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND DO WHAT THE LORD TELLS YOU TO DO. I'M SURE EVERYONE WOULD ENJOY SEEING THE JACKSONS J5 "AMERICA'S FIRST FAMILY OF MUSIC". NARRATED BY MARLON JACKSON. IT'S ONE OF THE BEST.

I love this DVD I love the behind the scenes access this DVD gives from Michael's show, and it's narrated by Mr Marlon him self!

I was very, very dissappointed with this DVD, everyone wants to see Michael, he was only in one or two shots, then it was only about 45 minutes long, I will sell it for $6 if anyone is interested.

I love this dvd, it was great I wish it was longer. If there's other dvd available I would love to add it to my collection......

This dvd was basically a documentary that was in parts interesting but mostly nothing new that most people havent seen. It also was not very long. Just feel should have gotten more interesting fact, but still not bad.

I was truly disappointed with this video. I have seen better footage on TV. I want my money back!!!! jt
