    Those Jackson Boys Sure Had The Whitest Teeth Of All!
    I found the entire Jackson 5ive TV series (from 1971) to be nothing but a blatantly shameless marketing ploy for selling the Jackson boys' record albums to the public.

    These limited-animation cartoons were the absolute nadir of entertainment inferiority. They were an utter embarrassment of bad programming on all counts. The "comedy" elements of these episodes just stank.

    Plagued with annoying "canned laughter", throughout - These 46 Jackson 5ive cartoons not only showed no imagination, whatsoever, when it came to their painfully predictable story-lines - But, there was clearly no chemistry or character dynamics happening, at all, between any of the 5 brothers.

    Obviously a pathetically shoddy product of its time - I think it's kinda odd (indeed) that in none of these episodes did any of the Jackson boys ever show any interest in women.
