A New Reality Series For The Jackson Brothers

Filed under: Michael Jackson

wenn-jacksonfam__opt1.jpg

Everyone deals with grief in different ways. For the remaining Jackson brothers, they're hoping a mediocre reality show documenting their sorrow over losing brother Michael Jackson will ease the pain.

A&E has agreed to a series about the Jackson family, one that was pitched several times before, but never came to be. The original concept was to be more of a reunion show between the brothers and Michael, but MJ wanted nothing to do with it. The brothers had filmed the pilot anyway and the footage may or may not end up in the series of planned episodes.

While the show is not a complete done deal, the pilot episode is said to be released within the month, probably hoping to catch some of the remaining hysteria over the untimely passing of Michael.

We don't feel comfortable with this. It just seems like they are banking on their poor brother's demise.

What do U think?

      Damn they really feel that this is their time at last, what a bunch of attention whores. YOUR BROTHER WAS MORE FAMOUS, DEAL WITH IT!!!



    4. 4

      Nothing like exploiting your relative's death.
      Stay classy, Jacksons.



    5. 5

      The Jacksons are greedy, opportunistic freaks… all of them. Even their mother Katherine.



    6. 6

      Good Grief. Oh, Boo Hoo Hoo! Reality show? Here is the reality $$$$$$!



    7. 7

      All we are going to hear are complaints and excuses!
      I say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

      i don't like this at all and i don't think michael would either



    9. 9

      i think, with the exception of janet, they are ALL pieces of shit. most of them are big huge slimy smelly monster turds. the mom is just a little nugget of a shit.



    10. 10

      …..no thanks, I rather eat fire than watch that shit.



    11. 11

      I did say the whole family was "wacko" Not one of them cared whether or not Michael was dead or alive. To them he is better dead than alive. Those greedy sickening people.



    12. 12

      What kind of f u c k e r y is Catherine wearing on her head?



    13. 13

      Just give us Janet back!! We dont need yall!!

      If it weren't for Michael none of them would ever have had money. What a damn shame. Even in death, they won't leave him alone. He's bailed them out before and they blew their money again.

      NO ONE SHOULD WATCH THIS SHOW OUT OF RESPECT FOR MICHAEL. Let's not feed into this make money frenzy.



    16. 16

      Well they banked on him in life, why not in death?



    17. 17

      Katherine is rocking the blonde wig! Love it.



    18. 18

      As long as as Kat doesn't wear that wig…

      Re: AnnieGirl – am i missin something? isnt the pic b&w?



    20. 20

      They've been living off of Michael's fame since the beginning of time…why should they stop now?



    21. 21

      Yeah they'd been plannin this thing before michael died, but by doing this it makes them look like they money hungry.. well i guess they already are. Poor michael… *sigh* love you boo… r.i.p



    22. 22

      Re: i want a teenage ho – It is. And she is blonde.



    23. 23

      I see your so concerned Perez. Just like you were concerned he was faking illness the day he died.

      That family knows no shame. I'm pretty sure Michael would not approve. They're probably thinking that now that Michael's gone, it's their time to shine. Bunch of greedy bastards.



    25. 25

      Latoya should have kept her original face.



    26. 26

      PATHETIC!!!



    27. 27

      Bullsh. Michael didn't help them when he was alive even though he was well able to. The least he can do is help them now. If I had that kind of money there's no way I wouldn't help my family. Let's not make a friggin saint out of him, OK?



    28. 28

      What do I think? I think it's disgusting that they're all trying to capitalize on Michael's death. I hate how people start circling the minute their "loved one" dies. The Jackson family apparently is no different from a lot of families. They're just picking the bones in the public eye. I hope this endeavor fails and all the brothers crawl back to where they were.



    29. 29

      I am a big "Jackson" Fan ..mostly MJ and Janet with that said..I probably would not watch this. Even though Im just a fan and never knew MJ..i still feel sad inside. I cant even really listen to the music that much. As a "stranger" this is how i feel..i dont know how his brothers could do something like this so soon. Maybe months or a year from now it would be more interesting but not now for me.



    30. 30

      This is so sad…Rather than mourn for their brother/son in private and in a respectful manner, these people would rather cash in on Michael's death…What about Michael's kids? Are they going to be on the show too? Might as well exploit them too….it's bound to happen eventually anyways since their Daddy is no longer here to protect them from their greedy vulture relatives!!! And people wondered why Michael had problems??? No matter how much money or fame you have, if you don't have a good family who loves you and respects you, you really have nothing. And from the looks of things, Michael had nothing in regards to his family - with the exception of maybe Janet and his own children, the rest of his family didn't give a flying fuck about him. He was just an easy paycheque to them…and had been since he was five years old. Poor man…at least he is away from this freak show now.



    31. 31

      Oh Pleeeeze! So St. Michael is dead…the rest of the family still has to make a living. Why shouldn't they? Besides, we are all just speculating over what the content of the show will be. I doubt it is going to be 100% dedicated to their mourning. I will watch every second of this show and love it. The rest of the Jacksons are as much, if not more, worth watching than Michael was. At least most of THEM still have their original faces.



    32. 32

      I hate the Jackson family, all of them are money loving freaks. They are using Michael's death as a way to get media attention, it is disgusting.



    33. 33

      greedy ass mofos.



    34. 34

      LaToya looks a lot like Rebbie in this picture. Anyway.
      I hate they are going to continue with the project. Its going to make them look like they are out for money… I hope its respectful and classy for Michael.



    35. 35

      money hungry WHORESS !

      who the hells try to make a tv show about how "sad" they are .
      i dont think ANYbody in that family is grieving but the kids , rebbie , janet , and momma katherine . !



    36. 36

      yea I don't agree with it either. I think it is sad how money hungry people can be. Had he not died this would have never come to be and it's sad that he had to die for it to now happen. It's discussing and I won't watch! so sad!! who wants to see them anyways?



    37. 37

      the only person in the Jackson family I've ever liked was Michael , so why waste time looking at a whole bunch of " loving siblings " of michael when they making mad $$$ !

      and doesn't the money michael had go to just momma , the kids , and charity ? how much you wanna bet daddy joe jermaine especially LATOYA will try to get there hands on it !



    38. 38

      How could they? Are their bank accounts so empty? That shows why Michael did not want to do anything with the brothers. So sad, but i guess that greed prevails.



    39. 39

      So greedy, they are going to milk this as long as they can. They couldnt ride MJ 's coattails while he was alive they will do it now after his death. Perhaps this is one of the reasons MJ didn't want to associate with them, ya think? This is one of the worlds most dysfunctional families!



    40. 40

      ITSEEMS THEY DON'T CARE MICHAEL JACLKSON IS DEAD ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS HOW TO MAKE MONEY OUT OF IT THEY SUCK!!! AND FUCK ALL THE JACKSON FAMILY SEEMS FANS LIKED HIM MORE.

      It's not quite the Osbournes (Ger-ma-a-i-i-i-ne!) , and not quite the Osmonds.
      It'$ a living. Keeping the possibly dwindling (excepting Janet) family coffers in the black is a full time job.



    42. 42

      i don't know about this, it seems to soon. if this is donr i hope it's just a special for a while and not an on going thing



    43. 43

      dont know what to say but this was in progress way before.
      maybe the production company are eager to pout this out and since the family had agreed to this way before, they cant stop it because of the agreement? can you please might look into other explanations?



    44. 44

      They just disgust me, money hungry people they should be ashamed of themselves. I won't be watching the BS and that's what it is…BULLSHIT AND GREED!!! The only decent ones are Michael and Janet, you other losers need to step the Hell off and have some respect for your brother. Love you Michael, ALWAYS. (RIP~Although I doubt you are with all of this crap)



    45. 45

      OMG What is next from these people!
      If they focused as much on burying MJ as they do trying to make money off of his death he would be resting in peace! these people make me sick.
      **RIP MICHAEL JACKSON**

      Re: the squirrel
      aToya looks a lot like Rebbie in this picture.
      x
      That's because that IS Rebbie - LaToya is not in the picture.



    47. 47

      Re: stellagranos – That is Latoya



    48. 48

      If it wasn't for Michael and Janet becoming so popular and making so much MONEY they would've still been that poor family living in a 2 bedroom house in Indiana.

      Re: AlphaBarbie – "If it wasn't for Michael and Janet becoming so popular and making so much MONEY they would've still been that poor family living in a 2 bedroom house in Indiana."

      False! it was a very popular, and very well known group named THE JACKSON 5 that got them out of Gary, Indiana smartness.
