ABC renewed The Jackson 5ive in 1972, rechristening it as The New Jackson 5ive Show, even though only 6 new episodes were produced by England's Halas & Bachelor, which was also contracted for The Osmonds. Anyway, the boys are caught up in a parody of an oft-adapted children's story in "Jackson & The Beanstalk".
Actor Donald Fullilove, the speaking voice of Michael, was also heard on another freshman series, Kid Power. Marlon's speaking voice was performed by a member of another musical family, Edmund Sylvers (The Sylvers).
In memory of co-executive producer and director Jules Bass, who passed away earlier this week at 87. No rating out of respect.
