Talk:Donny & Marie (1976 TV series)

Rename
Moving this in from article space:


 * This article should be renamed "The Donny & Marie Show" or it should be edited to say that they were two performers known together because of the Donny & Marie Show. "Donny & Marie" is the title of the later talk show that they did, mentioned later in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.162.103.106 (talk • contribs)

Both the 1976 and 1998 shows were actually called Donny & Marie, though the 1976 show was informally known as The Donny & Marie Show. I've seperated the 1998 show into its own article as that makes more sense than having both listed in one article. Galaxytrio 03:07, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Donny and Marie are mormons...omg

Article is confused
This article should be about the duo Donny & Marie, but at the moment it is just about the two television shows they hosted called Donny & Marie. The Sonny & Cher article is closer to how it should be. 172.167.48.68 05:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I think it's about right. Most of their fame came from these television series, and what came before it (their short singing career together) is mentioned in the article on the 1976 TV series. I think this is how it should be. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 20:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

If they didn't have fame prior to the variety show, they would never have been offered the television show in the first place. I agree with the previous comment. These three separate pages should be merged into one page under Donny and Marie Osmond. Think about it, you don't have multiple pages for each singers albums, or each actors movies. No, the combined work of an artist should all come under the heading of their name, not their individual woorks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.67.234.133 (talk • contribs) 00:35, August 29, 2013‎
 * "...you don't have multiple pages for each singers albums, or each actors movies." I'm not sure what you are saying, but we typically do have separate articles for albums and movies. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 14:11, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

This article makes no mention of the 1975 pilot episode that lead to the series being picked up in January 1976. Nor does it mention any guests of the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.67.234.133 (talk) 08:23, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

This article is about the TV show, similar to The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour. As with Sonny & Cher, there might be enough material to create an article for the duo, Donny & Marie (currently a disamb page). As with Sonny & Cher's eight albums (all of which have their own articles) having the article Sonny & Cher discography, we might have enough material to create Donny & Marie discography. Their albums and singles might be notable enough for articles. All of the "mights" are contingent on there being sufficient coverage in independent reliable sources and meeting notability. If you feel any of these articles should be created, have at it. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 14:11, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Magic trick practical joke
How about the unplanned practical joke that Donny played on Marie on live TV while doing a magic show- leaving her locked in a torture cabinet so she had to do her next singing act from inside it? Did Marie's anger with Donny cause the show to go on hiatus for a few weeks? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.119.14.209 (talk) 01:34, 23 January 2013 (UTC) I don't see why that should be mentioned. To do so would lend others to request particular skits to be added. This article isn't about the skits, it's about the overall show and the leads.
