'''''The Jackson 5ive''''' was a cartoon show from [[RankinBassProductions Rankin/Bass Productions]] that starred (who else?) the Jackson 5. No, [[NotQuiteStarring not the real ones]]. It only lasted two seasons on {{ABC}} (1971-1973), but who wouldn't love seeing Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and dear adorable little [[Music/MichaelJackson Michael]], in {{Saturday morning cartoon}} form? The episodes employed plenty of {{slapstick}} and clever one-liners, and you could be sure that you heard two Jackson 5 songs in every single episode. [[ThatRemindsMeOfASong With a few exceptions]], these songs usually had nothing to do with the plot, so it was like they were in a musical.
Most of the episodes starred all five Jackson brothers in silly situations, but other episodes centered on Michael as the main character having a dream based on fairy tales and popular stories, along the way making friends with characters who looked a lot like his brothers. When Michael wakes up from his dream, [[YouHaveToBelieveMe the others don't believe him]] when he tells them about it.
'''Other Recurring Characters include:'''
* Ray and Charles: Michael's pair of pet mice. Their names are obviously a reference to the great R & B musician Music/RayCharles. It's impossible to tell them apart. They are very helpful.
* Rosie: A pink snake who, as it turns out, is responsible for the Jackson 5 becoming famous. It's hard to tell whether Rosie is a girl or a boy, because in the episode "Cinder Jackson", Rosie is Bibbity-Boppity-Booed into Michael's male chauffeur. He/she is also a pet companion of Michael's. He/she is able to spell out cursive words with his/her body.
* Berry Gordy: The Jackson 5's producer. He isn't such an important character, but he's in at least 2 episodes.
* Hairy Godfather: This character only shows up in 2 episodes. His first notable role is in "Cinder Jackson", where he helps Michael get ready for the ball, and the second time he shows up is in "Hail to the Chief", where he grants Michael's wish of becoming Mayor. His [[CatchPhrase catch-phrase]] is "Now hooooooooold on!"
----
!!{{The Jackson 5ive}} provides examples of:
* CloudCuckooLander: Michael, occasionally? He has the craziest imagination. Comes with being the youngest, I suppose.
* EarWorm: I think it's safe to say that a lot of Jackson 5 songs were ''very'' catchy. Perhaps not ALL of them, since most are pretty obscure, but come on! It's the Jackson 5, people!
* {{Expy}}: [[RankinBassProductions Rankin/Bass Productions]] follow up cartoon ''TheOsmonds'' that copied the formula of ''J5'' right down to using the same standard dance cycle.
* FableRemake: Popular tales such as "Literature/{{Cinderella}}", ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', ''TreasureIsland'', "Literature/SnowWhite", ''AliceInWonderland'', and "JackAndTheBeanstalk" are parodied quite successfully in this show. Michael is the central character while his brothers and pets play important secondary roles.
* GreenAesop: A couple of episodes have the Jacksons sympathizing with the environment.
* [[HeyItsThatVoice Hey, It's That Voice!]]: If you watch a few episodes, you'll notice that there's one voice that pops up in nearly every one. That voice is Paul Frees, a very prolific voice actor.
* Letters2Numbers
* LimitedWardrobe: Yes.
* MakeAWish: Often happens to Michael.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: Jermaine. It's a shame he didn't have that strong a personality. Occasionally he dresses as a woman to help distract guards or something.
* MusicalEpisode: Every episode has two Jackson 5 songs.
* RealSongThemeTune: The opening theme was "ABC". The closing theme was "Mama's Pearl."
* RunningGag: You think the brakes stick a little?
* TeamPet: Ray, Charles, and Rosie.
* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: What happens twice in every episode.
* TheWoobie: Michael. Come on, he's just so cute in this show, just as he was when he was that age in real life!
* YouHaveToBelieveMe: Sadly, Michael's brothers don't take him seriously after he's had one of his crazy adventures.
* YoungestChildWins: Michael.
