getTV will "turn back time" to celebrate the 59th anniversary of the birth of the "King of Pop," Michael Jackson, on August 28 with four one hour episodes of Cher's 1970's variety series--with and without Sonny--featuring guest appearances by Michael and his siblings. getTV will kick off its Michael Jackson birthday party at 9PM ET with a 1976 "THE SONNY AND CHER SHOW" episode with special guest stars The Jacksons-Michael and brothers Jackie, Tito, Marlon and Randy--and legendary comedian Bob Hope. The brothers appear in some comedy sketches and perform "Enjoy Yourself." Originally known as The Jackson 5, they became The Jacksons when their Motown contract expired and they went to Columbia Records, minus Jermaine, who was married to the daughter of Motown founder Berry Gordy.
At 10PM ET, getTV will air a 1975 episode of Cher's solo variety series, "CHER," in which The Jackson 5 (plus 2)-Michael, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon, with youngest brother Randy and little sister Janet-appear along with comedienne Lily Tomlin. Cher and Janet share a brief interview segment, the guys perform "I Am Love," and then Cher joins the guys for a medley that includes "I Want You Back," "I'll be There," "Dancing Machine," "Never Can Say Goodbye," and "The Love You Save."Image courtesy of getTV/Natasha Fletes
