The Osmonds and Marlina
December 14, 2025
Every Friday night from 1976-79, I watched the Donny and Marie Show. My sisters and I had pretend silver microphones and sang duets in front of our bedroom mirrors, songs like Paper Roses, Puppy Love, and our favorite, “I’m a little bit country, I’m a little bit of rock and roll.” We laughed at Donny’s purple socks every time he raised his pant legs and one Christmas we received Donny and Marie Barbie Dolls from Santa and played for hours, until one day Donny’s head popped off and I decided it was taken by a ghost because I never found it.
