Ladies & Gentlemen,
Donny & Marie Osmond!
Just imagine... Donny was only 18 years old and Marie was only 16 when their weekly variety show, Donny & Marie first went on air in 1976. Listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as being among the youngest prime time television host ever, this brother and sister team were undeniably genuine phenomenon of the 70's.
1st Time on DVD!
For this DVD collection, Donny has gone back into the vaults to hand pick his favorite moments and memories from this five-time EMMY nominated show that ran for four season on ABC. Not seen in over 30 years, The Best of Donny & Marie is your favorite musical performances, comedy sketches and guest appearances by TV legends Bob Hope and Carl Reiner, comedians Ruth Buzzi and Paul Lynde, plus The Osmond Brothers and The Ice Vanities.
Bonus Photo Gallery!
Wild, loud and over the top was the best way to describe Donny and Marie's wardrobes. Take a trip back in time in this DVD photo gallery filled with all the sequins, feathers, polyester and heels that epitomized 70's chic.
The episodes will be remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound and DTS. The set will also come with a free Christmas DVD. You can preorder the set now for $29.99; it should ship in November. Thanks to everyone who emails us with this info.
