Description:  The Osmonds was a 1972 Saturday morning cartoon produced by Rankin/Bass that featured the Osmond Brothers as goodwill ambassadors on a world concert tour with their kid brother, Jimmy. Each episode involved a new location, with Jimmy's antics often driving the plot, and the family performing songs from their catalogue. The series also included their talking pet dog, Fuji, and a recurring gag where Donny was pursued by a super-fan named Hortence Bird.

Plot: The Osmond Brothers traveled the world for concert tours, accompanied by their youngest brother, Jimmy, and his talking dog, Fuji.

Episode format: Each episode took place in a different country, such as Spain, France, or China, and featured musical performances.

Characters: The Osmond Brothers, Jimmy, and Fuji were the main characters.

Running gags: A recurring joke was Donny being chased by his number one fan, Hortence Bird, and another was a catchphrase used whenever Jimmy's actions caused a problem.

Music: The songs featured in the series were from the Osmond Brothers' discography.

Notable distinction: Unlike some other musical cartoons, all six brothers provided their own voices.
