9. The Osmonds (1972-73)
By the time the Osmond brothers’ cartoon series debuted in 1972 they had achieved international fame as pop sensations. On the heels of the already popularized Jackson 5ive cartoon series, The Osmonds show mimicked its iconic early 1970s style and piggy backed off Jackson 5ive on the Saturday morning lineup. Lasting only one season, the brothers dispersed to pursue solo careers before reconvening 1976 to jumpstart the successful Donny & Marie Show.
