The show features fictionalized adventures of Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael on tour.
The Jackson Five were unable to contribute to the show, because of scheduling conflicts, so the voices are those of other actors. The Jacksons did pose for some posters and their music was used. During the music montages, a clipping of the Jackson Five would appear in concert to blend in with the animation.
