(ABC – 1992) Made with the blessing of the Jackson family the movie starred Angela Bassett as Katherine Jackson, Holly Robinson as Diana Ross, Billy Dee Williams as Berry Gordy and Vanessa Williams as Suzanne de Passe.

Growing Up Brady
(NBC – 2000) Starring a pre-OC Adam Brody as Barry Williams (Greg Brady) and pre-The Big Bang Theory Kaley Cuoco as Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady).
