The Jackson 5ive was a cartoon show from Rankin/Bass Productions that starred (who else?) the Jackson 5. No, not the real ones. It only lasted two seasons on ABC (1971-1973), but who wouldn't love seeing Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and dear adorable little Michael, in Saturday Morning Cartoon form? The episodes employed plenty of Slapstick and clever one-liners, and you could be sure that you heard two Jackson 5 songs in every single episode. With a few exceptions, these songs usually had nothing to do with the plot, so it was like they were in a musical.

  • The Jackson 5ive was a cartoon show from Rankin/Bass Productions that starred (who else?) the Jackson 5. No, not the real ones. It only lasted two seasons on ABC (1971-1973), but who wouldn't love seeing Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and dear adorable little Michael, in Saturday Morning Cartoon form? The episodes employed plenty of Slapstick and clever one-liners, and you could be sure that you heard two Jackson 5 songs in every single episode. With a few exceptions, these songs usually had nothing to do with the plot, so it was like they were in a musical. Most of the episodes starred all five Jackson brothers in silly situations, but other episodes centered on Michael as the main character having a dream based on fairy tales and popular stories, along the way making friends with characters who looked a lot like his brothers. When Michael wakes up from his dream, the others don't believe him when he tells them about it. * Ray and Charles: Michael's pair of pet mice. Their names are obviously a reference to the great R & B musician Ray Charles. It's impossible to tell them apart. They are very helpful. * Rosie: A pink snake who, as it turns out, is responsible for the Jackson 5 becoming famous. It's hard to tell whether Rosie is a girl or a boy, because in the episode "Cinder Jackson", Rosie is Bibbity-Boppity-Booed into Michael's male chauffeur. He/she is also a pet companion of Michael's. He/she is able to spell out cursive words with his/her body. * Berry Gordy: The Jackson 5's producer. He isn't such an important character, but he's in at least 2 episodes. * Hairy Godfather: This character only shows up in 2 episodes. His first notable role is in "Cinder Jackson", where he helps Michael get ready for the ball, and the second time he shows up is in "Hail to the Chief", where he grants Michael's wish of becoming Mayor. His catch-phrase is "Now hooooooooold on!"
