Lot of Michael Jackson and The Jacksons connection to the show... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Off The Wall album played on Willis' record player, The Jackson being heard on television(Dancing Machine) evident of Willis trying to do the "robot", and Janet Jackson as Willis' girlfriend. I was wondering if they ever mentioned the Jacksons' Victory Tour, which I am sure they did. But how many Michael Jackson and Jackson references were in the show?

Now I don't remember hearing dancing Machine on DS. What Season was that in?

First season. "Systematic. Automatic...." You have to put the volume up after Arnold clicks the romote control off when Willis is doing his dances. This is when the brothers decided to live on seperate rooms.

And isn't there a Jackson 5 song in the 2nd Season, but the DVD didn't get the rights, so they had to change it? I remember hearing something about that.

No it was a Michael Jackson or Jermaine Jackson song from 1979. It wasn't the Jacksons

Yup, i did mention this 'Jackson connection' in some other topic.
Also, the song Todd Bridges sings in a '82 episode which might be a cover song that i don't know (the one that goes "since i met you, love has got me dancin'") sounds very much like a disco/80's Jacksons song to me.If it isn't the case, it's pretty much a soundalike then.

I believe in the 2nd Season, they were playing MJ's Off The Wall...
