Separate but Equal groovin..

It's interesting that the the youngest member of the two groups became the most famous.

Funny how both cartoons were about the same in most ways, but how the outcome for each group 40 years later is so different.

I remember watching these when I was a kid! Holdenon3 is right: there weren't that many made (about a season of each), but there were more than just a few.

Jackson 5 for the win!

Never saw The Osmonds cartoons to my recollection. As the animation at least looks similar to both toons, I wonder if Jack Davis (Mad) drew sketches for them too. The drawings he did for The J5ive were great. Cool to see this!

The Osmonds dances sucks compare to the Jacksons 5!

You see the Osmonds did their voice, not the Jacksons, but I like Jay jumping at the end.

Yup, that was part of my Saturday morning routine as a kid.

According to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB.com) all of the Osmonds (Alan, Donny, Jay, Jimmie, Merrill & Wayne) did their animated characters voices. The voices of the Jackson family were done by actors.

UPDATE: Just watched an Osmonds cartoon and it's pretty clearly them doing their own voices.

Actually, there were 23 episodes of the Jackson 5 series made between 1971 and 1973.

There were 17 Osmonds episodes made in 1973.

Due to scheduling conflicts, none of the Jackson 5 provided their own voices for the series. I don't know about the Osmonds.
