The Osmonds are truly one of the most extraordinary families on stage and off. Each one of them is enormously talented and so very genuine. They have made their way into the hearts of millions and remain dearly loved! The sadness of losing their Father this past week is shared world over and a more fitting tribute there could not be. The timing is divinely impeccable and we are so grateful to Oprah for having them. They have faced this week in true Osmond style....with grace, strength and dignity. They are always fine examples and do themselves proud! At this difficult time, may they feel embraced by so many who are holding them close in thought, heart, and prayer.

So well said Tina - I couldn't agree with you more. What an amazing tribute to both George and Olive to have their entier family stand tall and shine. I didn't think it was possible for me to love & respect that family more than I did for the past 38 years. But I do now.

THIS is a WONDERFUL show!! I have laughed, and cried and revisited my teenage years and the show isn't even over yet!! It's been a wonderful reminder to me about what a BIG part of my life the entire Osmond family has been over the year; they will ALWAYS have a very special place in my heart!
I also want to say what a great job the Oprah and her team have done producing this show and all the special features on the Oprah website. THANK YOU OPRAH for this trip down memory lane!

What an awesome show it was. I have always loved the Osmunds, especially Donny. My husband surprised me a few years ago to see him in concert at the Fox in Detroit. It was the best time I have had at a concert. He still is so handsome. Marie is such a stong woman with everything she is going through, and able to perform as great as she is on Dancing with the Stars. She has my votes. Thanks Oprah.

I couldn't have said it better myself Tina.
Oprah, thank you for making this show happen! It would be wonderful to see them on TV once again.
I have been a HUGE fan of Donny & Marie & the Osmonds since I was about 12 years old (now 41) and will always remain a fan and admirer. I saw them in concert when I was about 15/16 in my home town of Calgary, Alberta, Canada and would LOVE to see them once again.
I admire Marie's strength and her ability to overcome everything she has gone through over the years, (Marie...you said you need a sister, well you have me as one, along with thousands of others, I'm sure!) I/we would ALWAYS support you through anything!
Today's show was spectacular and I couldn't have been more thrilled. I cried through the show as it brought back many memories, and it couldn't have been a more sincere and wonderful tribute. My deepest sympathies go out to the entire Osmond family in the loss of their father. May God Bless each and every one of you and may He continue to give you strength and courage.
I look forward to their 50th anniversary reunion special in March and hope that someday I will once again enjoy watching them entertain us all on TV.
"May tomorrow be a perfect day" for the Osmonds and Oprah.

WOW you brought back so many memories, I hope you sell this show on dvd, I will definately buy it and everyone VOTE for Marie on Dancing with the Stars. I honestly love her and I want a woman my age to win. Any 20 something can win or good looking athelete with a big fan base, let the real entertainers win for a change, not since Season One with Kelly Monoco winning has it been so great a show.
Thank you Oprah for the opportunity to see the Osmonds and you are so BLESSED to know your family tree.

Thankyou so much Oprah, for having the Osmond Family on your show. I, like many have waited a long time for this wonderful family to be on your show. This was a wonderful dedication to their parents. Father and Mother Osmond mean the world to us. They are a wondeful example of what mankind should be towards their brothers and sisters. What a wonderful family they gave us. God Blees them and you too Oprah..Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for this.
Love from,

This was a truly inspiring show. It reminds us of what is important in life, the values and ideals that families bring to the table. The Osmonds are truly one of those families that inspire us all to be more........and they remind us that we need not lament for the "simpler times" for they are living the "simpler times" today. Thank you for a beautiful show.

Thank you Oprah!!!!
I just watched the Oprah show with the Osmonds and had to say a very big 'thank you'! In the 70s I absolutely the Osmonds...I still play their music and still have all the Osmond albums with my girlish dreams written all over them...professing my love of Donnie and Jay...who were my absolute favorites.
Watching the show today brought me back to some very pleasant memories of my youth. I smiled, laughed and cried throughout the show....all very good and theraputic....it was very nice to see Donnie and his whole family....and also I couldn't help noticing the Osmond brothers are still very handsome men....as for Marie, I love her too, and more so today because of the beautiful woman she has become, and when I say beautiful, I do not mean just the physical...she is an inspiration to all women for her courage, kindness and honesty.....
So many thanks Oprah, again for all the great memories you and the Osmonds gave me today!!!!!

It would be so great if Oprah would produce a variety hour featuring th Osmonds..I think it is just what this world could use ..something wholesome compared to what is on TV these days!! It would be a hit I am sure.
