Shouldn't the Jacksons bury Michael before they start announcing a reality show!?

It seems that Jermaine's meeting with Mamma Jackson not only got him a seal of approval for his "tribute" but I'm guessing she also allowed him to go ahead with his reality show. Should the brothers (especially Jermaine) be using Michael's passing to get their toes back out in the spotlight? I think it's very bad taste....

Jacksons reality show announced

Michael Jackson's brothers all donned white gloves for his memorial service

The brothers of late pop star Michael Jackson are to appear in a reality TV series, US network A&E has announced.
The cable show will be expanded from a documentary Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon Jackson filmed prior to their sibling's death in June.
It is not known when the show will air or how many episodes it will contain.
It is also unclear whether Michael was filmed for the original documentary, which focused on his brothers as they prepared to reunite for a concert tour.
'Unprecedented access'
Footage from the original documentary was aired on the Tuesday edition of CBS show Entertainment Tonight.
Described as "exclusive new video", the excerpt showed the Jackson's mother Katherine at home with Jermaine, Jackie and Tito.
A&E announced the original documentary in May, saying it would "allow unprecedented access" to the Jacksons as they embarked upon "their most personal album and tour".
A spokesman for the network confirmed the series is in production but claimed the footage had been "leaked" without its consent.
Jermaine Jackson is currently planning a tribute concert to his brother, to be held in Vienna on 26 September.

I thought this was already all agreed and set in stone before Michael passed away?
 
No, it was a documentary, now it's gonna be a reality show...
 
you'd think they'd try and delay, stop, or not even participate in this any longer... doesn't seem randy is involved by his report...
 
if they will participate in this reality show you just know that somehow it will involve Michael's name too or what happened to him, all eyes will be on them because of that. if they agree to do this show then it will be a huge disappointment for me...not that I ever expected too much of them
 
I was banned from kop board even though I was a memeber there since 2003 because I was outspoken about the family shady behaviour and the way they are trying to exploit MJ's death everyway possible , they did nothing but prove my point and this is another proof .

wait and see , everytime the producers feel there is no enough interest , Prince, Paris and Blenket will make an appearance to say hi to their "wonderful" uncles .
 
No more reality shows.
It will tear families apart.
I never liked the idea when I first heard it months ago.

*shakes her head*

Sometimes i understand why michael was not in that much kontakt with the most people of his family....
He did love them, but i also love some people in my family regardless what they do.....but it really made my eyebrows raise ..

Some people are really shameless....
 
gotta make your money while theres still an intrest. and ppl wonderwhy mj didnt want anything to do with them half the time
 
really dissapointed with germaine as now u can see hes loving the spotlight on him.
 
If I was a member of the Jackson family, I certainly wouldn't want to participate in a reality TV show right now, but maybe it's their way of clearing up rumours and spreading MJ's message? I don't know, I guess we'll have to see it first before we can judge their motives.
 
I think this is in bad taste too. I really try and see the good in what the Jackson family do, but sometimes it's really hard.
 
Reality shows never really do any good for a family, just look at Jessica Simpson and her previous hubby, they broke up. Look at the Osbournes, they all had problems during that time. Reality shows give families a lable, I dont want the Jackson family to expose too much of themselves, Ive always liked the fact that they arent like most families and dont share much of themselves to the public view, especially on intervews on TV. They should continue to stay a private family. Im not to keen on a reality show...
 
I dont wanna upset anyone, but who cares about the other Jacksons anyway?
It was only ever about MJ.
 
I don't get it, I guess we just have to wait and see..

And even if if just the Jacksons, they know people are gonna look at it just in case they talk about Michael....
 
hmmm...this is shameless, but I maybe trought this reality show they will try to get people's attention on the whole murder-case??? maybe there is some point in all of that...I hope so...

It didn't hurt Sharon, Kelly, Ozzy, & Jack. Although Aimee Osbourne didn't get involved with their show.
 
"I told My Brothers don't you ask me for no favours.." Jam.
Never has this rung more true. As always, the brothers trying to make a buck off Michael & his name. Talk about exploiting his death and the renewed interest.
They must be seriously desperate for cash.
Why don't they get a job? I hear McDonalds are looking. But of course, a normal 9 to 5 is beneath them...

IF the family had not been working on this BEFORE Michael's sudden passing, I would probably be more apt to agree that the timing is suspect.

But, this is something that has been in the works for months, with filming at least since January, and according to this, Michael was involved for 6 months (maybe as a surprise). I doubt very seriously that Michael would want them to just cancel the whole thing that they ALL apparently worked on.

As for the whole "making money" off of it issue, they should get paid for their work like EVERYBODY ELSE making money from any and everything Michael related. I say better his family than EVERYBODY ELSE!

I wish people would stop being so critical of Michael's family here. We never allowed that before and just coz Michael is gone, I don't believe that he would appreciate that now. Sometimes it's best not to say anything about them. They are still his family and he loved them.

The project, which was in the works with L.A.-based Point Seven Entertainment long before Michael Jackson's death on June 25, will now depict the impact of Michael's death on the extended Jackson clan.

A&E had planned to do at least an hourlong special focusing on the brothers' plans to mark the 40th anniversary of the group's breakthrough with its first Motown recordings.

The Jackson 5 reunion shows were to have coincided with Michael Jackson's big comeback push with his 50-concert stand at London's 02 Arena, which had been skedded to begin last month. Michael Jackson was to have taken part in the reunion shows with brothers Marlon, Tito, Jermaine and Jackie, and he appears in the footage shot for the special from January through early June of this year...

Gomes is a longtime friend of the Jacksons and a veteran producer who previously ran Magic Johnson's TV production shingle. She said the brothers gave serious consideration to tabling the show, but they recently decided to move forward in order to use it "as an outlet to communicate with their fans," Gomes said.


"The Jacksons have been courted to do a reality series for the past three to five years, but the timing was never right," Gomes told Daily Variety. "We got together last summer and started to plot out the 40th anniversary plans, and we decided it was time to do a show.

With Michael's death, a major focus of the hourlong series will be the impact of the pop legend's death on his brothers and their families, Gomes said.

Well it may be that they're under contract and so don't have much of a choice.
