Variety shows were the standard of excellence on TV in the 70's. Song, dances, comedy, and a little weirdness was all it took to draw viewers. Donny and Marie grew up performing in that era, and are doing their part to bring back a revival.
The brother and sister duo has been singing and dancing their whole lives, with and without their whole family, the Osmonds. Their show follows the variety formula, beginning with duets, branching out into the solo hits that made Donny and Marie household names, and ending with big number. The performances are family-friendly and well rehearsed.
