History

The show featured all of the Jackson siblings except for Jermaine, who was signed to Motown while the Jackson group was signed to the Epic/CBS record label. It was the first variety show where the entire cast were siblings or an African-American family.[1] 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.[2]

As with the Jackson 5 regular performances, Michael Jackson was the lead performer in musical and dance performances. Despite the public acclaim following the early episodes, he was not enthusiastic with the overall project, later calling it "a dumb move" and adding he "hated every minute of it".[1]
