THE JACKSONS: AN AMERICAN DYNASTY COMING TO A&E
THE FACTS
A new reality show featuring the remaining members of the Jackson 5 is set to premire on A&E.
THE SPIN
Outside of Michael, Janet, Rebbie (If I said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times – don’t sleep on Centipede), and maybe LaToya on a good day, I’ve never cared to know what the other Jacksons were doing.
And obviously neither did A&E initially. That is, until Michael died and the network thought, “Wait, what happened to that Jackson reality show pitch we got?”
In light of the King of Pop’s death, his brothers and ex-band mates were giving the green light to move forward with their own reality show project. The show originally was intended to document the brothers as they prep for a Jackson 5 reunion – you know, the one Michael kept denying he was taking part in.
Now the show will chronicle the brothers as they deal with the death of Michael and plan on reuniting for music – that you probably don’t want to hear without Michael singing lead.
Maybe the show will be good because it would be nice for the other brothers (sans Jermaine, who stays in the press) to get a little airtime and discuss how they feel about Mike’s passing.
But, if they were smart, they’d let Rebbie bust out a random performance of Centipede in the Jackson family living room.

I’ll check it out, can’t hurt.
im skeptical about this one, but may watch it to see whats up, but cmon who really wants to see what the other brothers are doing?
I’ll be watching it
Sound like someone need some money
I will be watching. I enjoyed their music growing up in the 70-80′s.
not sure if i will Randy who in my opinion is the finest won’t be in it. Marlon is cute, Tito is handsome Jackie adorable but what about Randy he’s hot oh well…bond to be something else on t.v.
I’ll watch this show4sure. And get the Season HD iTunes Pass mmm. Id be super to see (MJ’s) kids on the show, tho it’s wrong to put them there. Aaa La Toya I wanna see alot, she’s so adorable little thing.
I’ll watch. I just hope they keep MJ’s kids out of it cause i think we’re all pretty sure he would not want his children to be apart of this.
what a shame what people will do for money, and what a bigger shame that your family would exploit your death for there own personal gain, micheal was the jackson 5 and the jacksons. without micheal there is no group. the torch has been passed to janet. the jackson family should be ashamed and embarassed, my personal opinion there broke and cashing in while they can
I would watch the Jackson’s reality show. If anyone has a right to do a reality show on the Jackson clan, the Jackson brothers do.
They have said only positive things about their brother, Michael, since his passing. So, as long as they are not doing damage to Michael’s reputation, I don’t have a problem with a reality show.
They were part of the Jackson 5 since the groups inception, so if anyone has the right to do a reality show and earn some money in the process the Jackson brothers do.
I will watch it. It should be very interesting.
I will definetly watch im a fan of the entire Jackson Family…
Wow. They’re just cashing in on Michael’s death aren’t they? First with ‘This Is It’, now this. I’ll watch, but only to see how MJ’s kids are doing. Still doesn’t feel like he’s gone. I miss that brotha everyday. We love you MJ!
I’ve gotten over the reality show phase, but I might be curious enough to peek in on this one from time to time.
I grew up listening to the Jackson 5/Jacksons and always wanted to know more about Michael’s other siblings and their families. I think the show would be interesting and I’m looking forward to it.
il just hear about it from other people i dont like how they are trying to cash in on mj’s death its sad and hurtful to watch a family do that to some1 that they supposed to love. a&e didnt want to do the show b4 so i wouldve told them to shove it now, but no they see dollar signs especially jermaine aka jo’s jacksons side kick… ugh
i am going to watch it i always enjoy the jacksons five and the jacksons…..MICHAEL WOULD HAVE GOTTEN BACK WITH HIS BROTHERS AND HE WOULD HAVE DONE THE SHOW
I will support the Jacksons. With or without Michael. It started without him when he was here and will start without him now that he is gone. He never was one that wanted to do things with his brothers. So yeah, I’m with them. I just hope they bring out Mrs. Fine, Rebie Jackson. Always had a crush on her from back in the day. Her voice was the strongest of all the girls.
Please tell me what in the world is wrong with Jemaine’s head? His hair looks like someone has dawn some hair on his head with a black marker!! The Conk is in the past! Please tell him to cut that crap off of his head!!!!
aaron:

MJ WAS A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING AND THE WORLD WILL NOT EVER SEE TALENT LIKE THAT AGAIN…EVER…EVER!!!
aaron:
I forgot to mention, MJ’S will STIPULATES ONLY his MOTHER and his 3 KIDS should get HIS MONEY…which HE, HIMSELF EARNED! He is in heaven and seeing what all his so-called family is doing! SHAMEFULL!
May his BEAUTIFUL SOUL REST IN PEACE!!!
