Countdown to Christmas: Christmas with Donny & Marie (1978)

 Donny & Marie's 3rd and final Christmas show, taped in their home state of Utah, is literally a family affair. By this point in the series, Donny had gotten married, and wife Debbie is among the guests.

Edit, 11/29/24: Unfortunately, the video's been deleted. All we have now is this excerpt:


I've mentioned in the past that the siblings were the physical models for the Super Friends' proteges, the Wonder Twins. Well, that ain't all. DC's The Unexpected took a left handed swipe at the Osmonds in a short story during the final season, and the artist clearly modeled his central characters after Donny & Marie, even though they had blonde hair. I'm not making this up.

No rating. Just a public service.
