    To say "They are not part of the series," though, is a bit murky. If Jackson's kids were not going to appear in any capacity, why didn't A&E say exactly that and end the speculation? "Not part of" could mean that they're not ~officially~ listed in the cast; it could mean that they weren't involved in any production decisions; it could mean anything, really.

    To be fair, I believe they filmed most of this before MJ's death. A&E had been filming the Jackson brothers for a while, but Michael didn't participate. (I'd speculate it was yet another move on the family's part to built up buzz and momentum for a reunion tour, which MJ never seemed interested in.)

    Sounds like A&E took that material and tacked on footage of the funeral, footage of the family coping with MJ's death, etc.

    It's not clear if they actually interview the kids or even feature them outside of the funeral footage (I hope not). So I'd say the tackiness level here is TBD.

    I wish the biological parents of these kids would step up--if it requires going through the courts, then do--and save these children, fast. If not, then what about the State of California. Aren't there laws about exploiting children?

    Is there anyone who didn't see this coming? Joe Jackson would sell reliquaries of Jackson family genitalia if it would buy him another ugly suit.

    Rebbie was always the only voice of reason in that household, though it doesn't take much sanity to understand how terribly wrong this is. As strange as Michael was, he did a fantastic job of keeping his children OUT of the press. So it's just disgusting that his family would shove those little kids in front of a camera like this. The only saving grace is that it's A&E. Perhaps it will all turn out to be one giant intervention.

    A reality show that I would actually watch is Joe Jackson burning up in the fires of Hell.

    You know since we're all pretty sure there's no Jackson blood that ties these children to the family you would think they would acknowledge that, let them live their lives quietly out of the spotlight, as not to stir a bee's nest, because the second any Jon and Kate business starts going down, the judge will just say what is real and give the kids to that other freak show (Debbie Rowe) and dismantle it all.

    And Janet...for shame.

    Obviously Michael would never have been OK with this or they wouldn't have needed to wait until he was dead to get it going. They've probably been counting down the minutes until they could exploit his fame on reality TV. The only thing keeping me going is my hope that the premise of this show is that Joe Jackson and all of the non-Rebbie kids are put in a cage while Prince, Paris, and Blanket poke them with sticks and Katherine makes sporadic appearances just to bring the kids cookies and lemonade. I'd watch at least the pilot.

    @DahlELama: I'd watch every episode. Especially if they had Big Brother-esque votes every week, like, "What will Joe Jackson's diet consist of this week? Text message '1' for Biscuits and Bugs! Text '2' for Dates and Dog Shit! Or text '3' for Cyanide and Cookies!"

    I think the obvious answer in how we make sure this never happens again is to go all Utah and outlaw dancing.

    (That'll be Glenn Beck's theme when he tackles this, obviously.)
