Jackson Family Reality Show Gets Greenlit

August 20, 2009

The reality show starring the Jackson Family is reportedly a go. Before Michael died, his brothers filmed a one-hour pilot A&E that was going to feature a reunion with Michael. But Michael decided he didn’t want to have a reunion, and then he died shortly after.

But despite not having a reunion, A&E has decided to go forward with a series that will portray the Jackson brothers dealing with Michael’s death and their own personal lives.

The network claims that the deal isn’t quite done yet, but sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that it’s going to happen. Sources also say the pilot will air on A&E within the month.

It seems like the Jackson family is just getting more and more publicity since the death of Michael. Sadly, all of this press surrounding their brother is just furthering their careers. No one would ever be interested in watching a show about the Jackson family, unless Michael was involved.

And now that Michael has no say in the matter, they’re all able to cash in. Will you watch a Jackson brother reality show?

I am very disappointed to all the MJ fans who have posted such negative remarks about his brothers. I feel the Jackson family is getting crucified by the public and the media, the same way Michael was treated . No matter what they do now, they will be looked at as money hungry famewhores. I see absolutely no wrong doing in their decision to let their world into our world. Yes, they were not as successful as their brother, how many people can accomplish such stardom that Michael had accomplished? It is rare... They had endured rough times to make ends meet ( I read somewhere that one of the brothers worked at a supermarket in OC ) Please consider the way the Jacksons were raised, in the spotlight... That is all they know. PLEASE DON'T JUDGE THESE KIND PEOPLE !!!

I think that since they decided to do this, even before Michael died there is nothing wrong with going on with it. I would have watched it even if Michael hadn't died. I'm a fan of the Jackson 5 and I am interested in what they are all doing now. They loved and cared deeply for their brother and it's not fair to say they are using his death for publicity. Everyone has a reality show now, this is one of the world's most famous families, people are interested. I hope for nothing but the best for the Jackson family. I can't imagine what this loss has done to them. And, God bless you Michael, I'll always love you!

Nivcarah... Can't say I am happy they are going ahead, but I probably will watch also. I want to hear what they have to say about Michael. If it's not about Micahel---Dead in the water to me...

What a bunch! I thought for once that they really cared about Michael but it is only about the fame and for financial gain. Who are they anyway on their own? Even now Michael can't rest in peace; poor guy no wonder he locked himself away and felt alone. Even his family uses him to make a dollar and always did; except for the very few amongst the siblings and mother.

Why do a Reality show with Michael's brothers? LOL Michael had sense not to want a reunion or do a reality show with his brothers. Where were these brothers (except Jermaine) before Michael died and the trials? If they are so sad why are they smiling? I know; there is a check involved! They're profiting from Michael it makes me sick. If A & E goes through with this, I will cancel my cable. I don't like A & E; I'm a VH-1 gal. Guys try and make it on your own without the coat strings and leave your brother alone. Peter Pan... when will it end?
