The Osmonds is a 1972 ABC-TV Saturday morning cartoon series produced by Rankin/Bass Productions starring the Osmond Brothers. Each episode features the family in a different location around the world, with young Jimmy's antics usually driving the plot of the episode. As with most television series oriented around bands, the Osmonds' songs were featured prominently in the series. The series also featured their pet dog named Fuji, with a speaking mind of its own. Marie Osmond did not appear in the series, as she would not make her performing debut until 1973. An abridged version of "One Bad Apple" was used for the opening and ending credits of the show.
