The Osmonds poured themselves into a new venture: the older brothers began producing "The Donny & Marie Show" which was a hit on ABC from 1975–1979. But the success came at a cost. The family built and operated at great expense a first-class television studio in Orem, Utah, where the show was produced beginning in 1977. As a result, the Osmonds as a performing band became a lower priority to Donny and Marie. The older brothers deferred or gave up their dreams of being a rock-and-roll band, although Donny and Marie as a duo continued to record hits into 1978; in an interview with "The Lost 45s", Wayne Osmond suggested their abandonment of songwriting and working on material during the TV run may have been a mistake, as their career never recovered from the hiatus. Donny experienced stage anxiety and Marie had a brief bout with an eating disorder after a network executive told her she looked heavy.
