For most, the death of Michael Jackson was a sad moment in history. Despite all his personal demons, most of us have a memory or two about a song of his. He and his family havent been the definition of "Normal" but who is. I think that they have a lot of issues and might even be a little crazy. Between the abuse they suffered from as children to the the books written by Latoya, it is fair to say that this family didnt do things by the book, if you will. Every incident that they have miraculously seen their way to overcome you would think that they would learn to be a little smarter. So someone please tell me WHY? I am so mad about this I can barely type! WHY on earth would they want to do a reality show regarding their lives? Its almost like they think all the abuse and backstabbing is funny or a game. What is the television network thinking? And the sad part is that I think people will watch just to see them make Arses of themselves. What about the kids? This family is truly crazy! They are making money on anything they can think of that they can put on the television. The poor kids. Their friends will be able to watch their aunts and uncles, and mothers and fathers, make idiots of themselves. DONT YOU GET JACKSONS? WE WANTED MICHAEL NOT YOU! no more nose jobs, face lifts, Jackson family albums minus MJ. Leave it alone. What do you think? Is it too much?

all i got to say is if i were janet,i'd run far and fast. she's about the only non-grandstanding money making jackson left. i think on some level,the other brothers still can't deal with the fact michael was more popular than them,so they're grasping straws.

I think they are using MJs name or his popularity when he is still alive to earn money. This is unfair for Michael Jackson.

You are absolutely right Triple! What I dont understand is why people are buying into it. I think its because they want to watch them make fools of themselves. I was just saying how ridiculous the family togetherness act is. Last I knew Latoya had written a book accusing them of kidnapping her and taking all of her money. Supposedly she had to marry her manager to stay safe. I am sure that most of its a lie or distorted. Usually it takes some factual incident to grow a lie from. Close friends and some employees of MJ say that he hadnt even been in contact with the family since they found him not guilty. It was rumored that one of the brothers was a blue collar worker trying to make ends meet. Nothing wrong with that but if your brother and sister have made fortunes wouldnt a little trickle down hill if you were so close. Lastly Joe Jackson, the dad, made millions before the kids were even 18. Why wouldnt he share with the other brothers? HMMM makes you wonder. That's why people will watch the show. Curiosity. dl

These Jackson brothers are just showing their true colors to the world. I just hope all of us would teach them a lesson so that the Jacksons will stop.

I think they are doing it all for publicity and for more money and television time. I think alot of people would really like to see this kind of thing also and that is what is so sick about it. I think they should give it a rest for a while.

It is way to much! The networks will try and do anything to get views to watch their shows! Even the Jacksons! I think this family,who are way crazy,wants views to understnad them! I'm sure has alot has to do with it and they are being selfish for that! Michael is probaly spinning in his grave right now! I really feel sorry for Michael's kids! They are probaly going to be the center of this show! That is sad! I can guarentee I will not watch this show! I wish this would all end too! As long as people want to watch this crap on tv it will continue!

Milk it while its still hot,jacksons have been out of the limelight for some time xcept maybe Janet,so resources probably dwindling,so why not if out of the blue they are getting mentioned again,cash in before it fades away...I dont think Michael will mind even in his grave,after all didnt he help out his brothers in the victory tour,family is family,you ll want to wish them success,For all we know,there may sudddenly,god forbid,a jackson bros reunion album in memory of Michael , i will not at all be surprised if that happens at some point in near future.!

I wouldnt be surprised either. What is sad is that the Jacksons werent anything without MJ. They have tried all this before. THe brothers have been pushing reunions for years. Michael had finally relented and did it. It was not that successful except for the fact they had MJ. They had to set up the concert so that MJ would come on in the beginning and the end so that people wouldnt walk out after they saw him. NO ONE wanted to hear the Jacksons minus MJ. I dont think that'll ever change. Just my opinion. But a reality show? Come on! dl

I think they love their brother, but also love money. They took an opportunity to cash in on any fame they can get. I don't doubt they loved their brother, but it's kind of tacky. They may feel they are just riding on the fame made over Michael's concert documentary, but hello guys! The documentary was the fascination over one Jackson. I think the show will get high ratings at first. Then I think the ratings will decline into cancelation. Which I think they should.

Yeah, their time has past. It is time to leave them alone and move on. I personally am sick of all these reality shows that pop up about anything and everything these days. Luckily for me, I do not actually watch a lot of TV, but I still get sick of hearing about these shows in conversations and other media such as radio discussions!
