The show, which was first announced in January 1973, is based on their successful Las Vegas shows and features the whole family with songs from the Motown era as well as new material. Michael, however, hates doing the series each week!

Santa Barbara County Judge Rodney S. Melville refuses to lower Michael Jackson’s $3 million bail.

On ebay’s American website the “Most Valuable Piece of Rock Star Clothing”, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, is being auctioned - a white sequined Michael Jackson glove. The glove, designed by Michael in collaboration with one of his costume designers, is made with Swarovski Aurora Borealis crystals, individually hand-sewn. The assembly allows for complete flexibility and individual movement of each stone. Michael presented this glove to the late Sammy Davis Jnr. in the Eighties and is on ebay’s site with a starting price of $3 million. The money raised will benefit the SOS Fund (Support our Students).

This week, local D.C. attorney Henry W. Asbill of Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP appeared in court to represent Michael Jackson against the charges filed by Raymone Bain. Also, three additional attorneys from the New York firm have been arranged to help work on the case pro hac vice (as they aren't legally licensed to practice law in D.C.) alongside Mr. Asbill, including Frank C. Salzano, Donna L Gordon, and most notably L. Londell McMillan. It is now expected that a response to the suit will be filed before the 10-day default notice is up--later this week, and that no default judgment will be awarded.

Jackson 5, Moving Violation on Dinah Shore Show - 1975

Quote of the day: “Today I feel more betrayed than perhaps ever before; that someone, who had got to know my children, my staff and me, whom I let into my heart and told the truth, could then sacrifice the trust I placed in him and produce this terrible and unfair program. It breaks my heart that anyone could truly believe that I would do anything to harm or endanger my children: they are the most important thing in my life. Everyone who knows me will know the truth which is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any child.” :cry:

The Jacksons
PREMIERED: Jun 16, 1976 CBS (ended 1977)

The thirty-minute Wednesday evening show began airing on CBS as a summer 1976 show and it continued into the 1976–1977 season, finishing on March 9, 1977 after running for 12 episodes. A variety show starring the Jacksons (Jackie, Tito, Marlon, Michael, and Randy) and their sisters (Rebbie, LaToya, and Janet).

THE SUMMER OF '76
That was when The Jacksons debuted on CBS, a half-hour variety show starring Michael along with his brothers and sisters. The Jackson 5 had just left Motown for CBS Records so a 4 week CBS TV show was good synergy. It was also a chance to debut the group's new name and introduce younger brother Randy who replaced Jermaine when he chose to stay at Motown. Not that Michael particularly wanted to do the musical comedy series, he was already looking ahead to a time when he would shed the unnecessary background singers and go out on his own. By this point it was obvious to everyone that Michael was carrying the group even if his most recent solo album in 1975, Forever Michael, failed to hit.

Here's a bit from the fourth and last episode of the summer series. Note the groovy but already dated looking outfits. Were the Jacksons using their tour outfits for the show? They had some hideous, gaudy getups during this period.

The Jacksons did so well in the ratings the series was picked up as a mid-season replacement but the summer sizzle was gone and so was the show in just a few weeks. No wonder, with the lame skits and feeble guest stars like Ed McMahon, Joey Bishop, John Byner and the like. What were they doing on a show hosted by The Jacksons?

The group was even reduced to singing Andrews Sisters tunes and other 1940's ditties. Brighter spots came when the group performed their hits and on an episode that guest starred Dom DeLuise and Muhammad Ali. David Letterman also appeared a couple of times as a standup.
