Donny & Marie is an American variety show which aired on ABC from January 1976 to January 1979. The show stars brother and sister pop duo Donny Osmond and Marie Osmond. Donny had first become popular singing in a music group with his brothers, The Osmonds, and Marie was one of the youngest singers to reach #1 on the Billboard Country Music charts. The chemistry Donny Osmond and Marie Osmond bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. The series ran for 4 seasons (1976–1979), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.
