A&E network unveils Jackson TV show
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Cable television network A&E on Friday unveiled plans for a new reality TV show starring four brothers of late pop star Michael Jackson depicting them dealing with his death and rehearsing for an upcoming concert.
"The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty" will star Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon Jackson in six one-hour episodes, starting December 13. A&E said.
The brothers will be shown recording a song for the soundtrack of Jackson movie "This Is It," attending a premiere for the film and rehearsing for a concert to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Jackson Five.
The brothers, along with Michael, formed the Jackson Five singing group in the late 1960s and 1970s that recorded hits like "ABC" and "I'll Be There" before Michael began a solo career that included his smash hit "Thriller."
Michael Jackson died in Los Angeles on June 25 after overdosing on prescription drugs. Since then, a movie has been made of his final days rehearsing for a comeback tour that had been planned to take place in London in July.
Video from those rehearsals formed the basis of the movie "This Is It," which has made more than $144 million worldwide since its October 28 release.
"Now, the brothers allow unprecedented access into their world as they record new material and rehearse for a concert celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Jackson Five," A&E said in a statement.
A 1976 variety program featuring the Jackson brothers and sisters La Toya and pop singer Janet, called "The Jacksons", ran for one season.

4 Jackson brothers reunite for A&E miniseries
As the old saying goes, "If you like this kind of thing, you'll like this."
Mirroring too many other celeb-reality shows that come pledging a personal glimpse at their subjects, "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty" is stagey, self-conscious and, most of all, self-serving on the part of its participants.
But if you're a fan of Michael Jackson (always offstage but seldom out of mind), or even the observable members of the Jackson 5 — Marlon, Tito, Jackie and Jermaine — you might enjoy this time spent with them.
The six-hour A&E series premieres at 9 p.m. EST, Sunday, Dec. 13, with back-to-back episodes. The high point of those first two hours comes when Jermaine Jackson cries.
Tearfully, he recalls the dark days of 1976, when the rest of the group leaped to CBS Records while only he stayed behind at Motown, being loyal, he says, "to where we started."
"Do you know what it is to be alone? Just to be alone?" says Jermaine, choking up. "I'm out in the streets and kids are saying, 'We don't want your autograph, 'cause you're the one that broke the group up.'"
"When you came back to the group, it was one of the best, favorable memories of my life," says Tito as the foursome shares hugs all around.
It's hard to believe this is really the first time Jermaine has ever expressed his hurt from that rift with his brothers, as he claims. And it's hard to overlook the fact that, during this scene of high emotion, all of them seem carefully arranged on their sectional sofa for maximum visual effect.
Even so, there's something real going on here. It's a nice break from all the canned, rote stuff.
The premise of the miniseries (at least when filming started last January) seems to center on the Jackson 5, including Michael, reuniting for their 40th anniversary.
The other four brothers start planning a tour and a new album — "the best album we ever made!" Jackie crows.
They exchange lots of stock dialogue like, "I think we owe it to the fans" and, "We're family. We'll be the Jackson 5 till the day we die."
They make self-pitying remarks about the way the media abuse them, for example, "Your fans will be there for you. You have that marriage with them from day one. It's the media that tries to come between that."
That darn marriage-wrecking media!
They also get on each other's nerves. In the studio last May, Jermaine records a vocal track, then heads off to lunch. Jackie decides it's unacceptable and erases it.
"You won't believe what happened in the studio today," Jermaine tells his wife back at home. "I did these vocals, I was very excited about them, and the next thing I know, they were erased."
The first hour (which includes a sentimental, staged-for-TV journey to their childhood home in Gary, Ind.) ends with the news of Michael's death in late June.
Even before his shocking death, it's hard to discern from the miniseries what Michael thought about his brothers' plans for the reunion. His involvement is apparently assumed. But he is only seen in archival footage and heard singing on the soundtrack.
And he's regularly mentioned.
"Your brother was the biggest artist in the world," the Jacksons' attorney, Virgil Roberts, tells them in the second episode, a month after Michael has died. "It's put a special spotlight on you. You're the living legacy."
As Roberts speaks, the Jacksons' album and tour seem to still be in the picture, at least for the sake of justifying this miniseries.
But Jermaine isn't in the image (and his commitment to the group is called into question) when he misses the official photo shoot. He later tells his brothers he had an eye infection.
Some reunion. And four more episodes to fill.

Jackson series full of holes
The timing is certainly interesting. Last January, four of the Jackson 5 -- Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon -- started filming a reality series that would document a 40th reunion album.
Was Michael Jackson on board? Presumably, although he's never on camera and seemed to have plenty going on with his own concert plan. Then again, he came through in 1984 for his brothers with the Victory tour, even recruiting Mick Jagger for their hit "State of Shock." (I still have my single.)
But on June 25, everything changed when Michael died. On "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty," we don't see any of the family learning of the news, or exclusive footage from the memorial, or the brothers at all until they've had a month to mourn.
And that's the frustrating part of this six-episode series, which starts Sunday on A&E. It just scratches at the surface of an epic story. I am as fascinated by anything Jackson as I am with anything Kennedy -- or Baldwin, when it comes down to it. For better or worse, these are our royal families. And the Jacksons certainly think of themselves as royalty; Michael named two of his kids Prince, Jermaine named his son Jermajesty, and it's the rare jacket or hat that doesn't bear a royal crest.
There are so many intriguing places a series like this could go. In one powerful scene, Jermaine opens up about staying with Motown in 1976 when the rest of his brothers jumped to CBS Records for a fairer contract. Jermaine, who was married to Berry Gordy's daughter at the time, says that he stayed out of loyalty. "Do you know what it is to be alone? Just to be alone?" Jermaine says, choking up. "I'm out in the streets and kids are saying, 'We don't want your autograph, 'cause you're the one that broke the group up.' "
And then: group hug.
Wait -- did Gordy pressure Jermaine to stay? Was Jermaine jealous of all the attention Michael was getting? Did he regret staying? How did his parents react? Was brother Randy resentful about filling in for Jermaine as a second choice? What was Christmas like that year?
There's another opportunity for insight when a few of the brothers go home to Gary, Ind., at the behest of Queen Mother Katherine. As they walk through the tiny rooms, they point out the window where neighborhood kids would fight to watch them rehearse, and the closet where Marlon would hide to avoid school.
Tito does an excellent impression of his dad, who by almost all accounts was a brutal manager. But instead of expressing any anger about abuse, or loss of childhood, or pressure, Marlon just says of his father, "I understand now why he did certain things."
Tito excuses Joe, too. "Since it was a success, how wrong could it be?" he asks.
Oh, Tito.
There are some real moments that shed a little light on the family's dynamics. Even after Michael's death, spotlight-lusting Jermaine is determined to put a tribute together on his own. When Jermaine skips a photo shoot for the four brothers, he claims a case of pink eye. "I'll give you a black eye," Tito mutters.
We are introduced to the next generation of Jacksons, although Michael's kids will apparently not be on camera. All the kids are rambunctious, gorgeous and aspiring singers. Tito's boys, known as T3, have already had hits in Europe.
But I'm only awarding the show ¼¼½ because watching it is probably as frustrating as being in the family. There are too many things this series doesn't have:
• Behind-the-scenes stories about vintage performances.
• Sister Janet talking about her weight fluctuations.
• Sister LaToya acting crazy.
• All the daughters-in-law interacting with mama Katherine.
• All the kids running away from Joseph.
• Anyone's thoughts on Michael's drug use, genius, shyness, work ethic, determination to look like Diana Ross ...
Most of all, I'm aching to watch the brothers perform together again, even if it's just the four of them, even if it's not one of the old hits.
I'm guessing that's all they want, too.

Michael Jackson's brothers share their private grief over his death on new reality TV show

They asked to be given some time to grieve the loss of their brother Michael.
And now, six months after his death, Michael Jackson's brothers have decided to share the emotional and intimate scenes from the day they buried their brother.
Although they held a very public memorial service so the world could say goodbye to the pop superstar, the Jackson family kept his actual funeral ceremony private between them and 200 specially invited guests.
Family: Michael Jackson's brothers - Randy, Tito, Jermaine, Jackie and Marlon - console each other at his private funeral service
But now, that intimate day with the late singer's fans, has been shared with fans and viewers across the US as part of the Jackson brothers' new reality TV show, 'The Jack5ons: A Family Dynasty'.
The emotional scenes, which aired on the first episode in the US last night, showed the family at the private service at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Los Angeles.
In one, Michael's younger pop star singer Janet looks tired and emotional as she is shown to her seat, while in another, the brothers, all wearing dark sunglasses, gather round as they get ready to say their last farewells to Michael.

Little sister: A teary Janet Jackson is show to her seat at brother Michael's funeral service
Another scene shows the family and friends of the late star take their seats by Michael's coffin as the service begins.
The six-episode series, which began filming earlier this year, then follows the remaining members of the Jackson 5 - Tito, Jermaine, Jackie and Marlon - as the four of them started making plans for a Jackson 5 reunion tour to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Motown group.
But after Michael's unexpected and sudden death on June 25 at the age of 50, they hadn't just lost their beloved brother, but also their lead singer, although it is still unclear whether Michael was intending to join them for the reunion.
Memories: Michael's brother Jackie breaks down as he recalls hearing about his death on his car radio
Although it began filming before his death, Michael does not appear in the show and was actually rehearsing for his own comeback concerts in London at the time.
It instead focuses on the the four other members of the Jackson 5 as they met for dance rehearsals and follows them to recording studios and back to their humble beginnings in Gary, Indiana.
The programme also shows how they individually dealt with Michael's death and the aftermath.
Jackie is seen breaking down in tears as he remembers hearing about Michael's death on his car radio. And Jermaine Jackson said he was still finding it hard to listen to the band's old music.
[i]Never the same: Jermaine wipes away tears as he admits he cannot listen to the Jackson 5's music since the death of Michael
He said: 'I think about Michael every moment. We will never be the Jackson 5 again.'
And he justified the decision to carry on filming the documentary after Michael died, and said: 'We are doing what he would want us to do. This is the best connection we have with the fans who want so much more from the family.
'For so many years we have never revealed who we really are. You knew us on stage, but (now) we get a chance to be ourselves off stage.'
Producers said fans would have the entire series to find out whether the brothers decide to go ahead with the reunion.

Executive producer Jodi Gomes, said: 'That is a surprise ending...so you have to stay tuned for that. The guys live all of those answers out on camera.'
And he denied reports that they had intended to have Michael's three young children - Prince Michael Joseph, 12, Paris Katherine, 11 and seven-year-old Blanket - appear on the TV show,
Citing respect for Michael's efforts to keep them away from the media spotlight during his life, Gomes said: 'There was never any intention to put Michael's children on the show before or after his death.'

They are showing this over here now on the Bio Channel and the brothers are working on a new album but they have different ideas on what should be on it. Jermaine went to India work work on a song about Mumbai. Then he came back and Jackie had made a song called Jackson Dynasty but Jermaine took it on him and reworked the song but Jackie didn't like that.
I notice the brothers argue about particular parts of the work but I can also see they are perfectionists and want things to be right. It was funny watching Tito give out to the others as they were recording a song for the new album. Another funny bit was then they went into Harrods to buy a bag for Katherine and for Gladys Knight. Guys aren't so good when it comes to buying women gifts.
From watching the show I realised that Jermaine is not so nice at all. He is very pushy about this album project and I wonder if he is doing it just to gain popularity for himself.
The other brothers come across very good in it particularly Jackie who is my favourite brother now. He is such a nice guy and I see he gets along with his kids very well
I also found out that Marlon is a grand dad and that his daughter is going through a divorce. She looks very young about 24 or so.
It ends tonight but it would be interesting to see if they do come out with this album as they were working on some great tracks for it.

The other brothers come across very good in it particularly Jackie who is my favourite brother now. He is such a nice guy and I see he gets along with his kids very well
I also found out that Marlon is a grand dad and that his daughter is going through a divorce. She looks very young about 24 or so.
It ends tonight but it would be interesting to see if they do come out with this album as they were working on some great tracks for it.

he always tried to be the spokesperson for Michael. I think I'll never forget how he announced The Jacksons tour together with Michael and Michael denied it making Jermaine look like fool That is too bad cause Jermaine used to be his fav brother. But I think it pretty much was ruined when Jermaine left Jackson 5. They moved on but Jermaine was left behind. He tried to do some albums but it wasn't as successful. I see he was always jealous at Michael. Maybe even mad cause Michael was the one who said they are leaving Motown. In the beginning of 90s (I think) Jermaine wrote a nasty song about Michael which lyrics was little bit changed later, probably cause of leaving his brothers behind. Then he tried to represent Michael with some announcements etc... And now he is flowing in the sea of attention thinking it may be good chance to make the album while they have attention. This is what Jermaine always have wanted. To be in attention with whatever he can. That's why he is so pushy about the album now.
Jackie is ok, I think. It looks like he always tries to be out of fights and scandals.
The difference between brothers and Michael is cause they don't know what they want to hear in album. Michael sees the things asap and goes for it. This is why he left The Jacksons together with the reason that they didn't see his ideas for albums.
Sharon, can more things was there? I only saw first 2 episodes.

There was some other things that were interesting. Tito is very close to his sons although I think we kind of knew that. He has a very young girlfriend not that it matters about age of course just that it surprised me a bit. Jackie is also very close to his family and he is very close to them. Marlons family seems strange I think he had kids by other women and his daughter is going through a divorce at a very young age and she also has a young kid.
Randy was never mentioned in it but Janet was a few times. They were using Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to work on the album and there was an argument with Jackie and Jermaine over this as Jackie didn't want use them because he thought there music would sound like Janets.
They were also due to do a show and it was called off because the brothers weren't commmitted. I felt sorry for Tito as he got a guitar especially made for it. They showed Tito performing on his tour in London and he used J5 songs and put on an afro wig while he performed them. He was great fun and also showed professionalism. Jackie Marlon and Katherine were at this concert. Jackie & Marlon seen how great it would be if they got together and did a show.
They showed clips from the red carpet of This Is It in LA they showed the interview with Jackie and he got emotional while talking about Michael.
On the last show they went to the crypt to get inspiration for the album and Tito got very emotional here. They said that they want to complete it for Michael. I just wonder if they ever will after all the arguments and disagreements. They are holding on to a dream that seems impossible. They will never bring back the J5 days.

omg, even they don't let him be 
they exposure everything sacred 
just proves my impression about them. Also about that they actually is showing off. Who would want the world you to see how you moarn your brother. When I cried about my dad it was only when I was alone. The same also about Michael. If you let cams inside your face when you moarn then you are show off.
This is why I don't like shows like these. It's a big show off.

I am watching and here's my first tought:
They still don't get that Michael's DIDN'T want to make album with them lol Is that Terry Lewis speaking in the beginning? He is asking what they will do with the fact that Michael is not there with them anymore (talking about album). Jermaine said he is in spirit. They still make Michael to look like he is part of the album while he is not. He refused to work with them for almost 3 decades but they still haven't got that lol Then Jimmy Jam says what they are gonna do with Michael. the same what they did since since early 80s. They never were with Michael since early 80s so this question is kind a funny.
To find a new way. Exactly! The Jacksons or Jackson 5 is not The Jacksons 5 and The Jacksons without Michael anyway.
Ok, they didn't show the actual crypt, where Michael lays. Good.
Is these series mostly concentrating on Jermaine?

not mostly on Jermaine they do focus on the other brothers too. No they didn't show the auctual crypt they kept that bit private which is the right thing to do. But they did show them going to Forest Lawn and then to the place where its kept. I thought it was a touching part of the series. It would be nice to see the completed album but with so many arguments over it I doubt that will happen . The rest of the series is on You Tube if you want to watch the complete series.
