The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty: A TV Line IM Conversation
Julie: My vote goes to Tito. Underneath that calm facade and that bowling hat is a lifetime of pain and repression. Hopefully the A&E cameras and Jermaine's irrepressible quest for fame will trigger it. Who do you think?
Louis: I can't even pick a favorite from these four jokers. That said, I am Team Randy. He's not on the show, but one, he is a kickass drummer, and two, Michael used to say that he would get the most (corporal) punishment from Generalissimo Joe for not sticking the dance moves. I'd like to hear from him. Perhaps A&E will head the spin-off route with him. Dancing Machine: The Dehumanization of Randy.
Julie: Do you think we'll see Joe?
Louis: My instinct would be a quick appearance. A cameo. A quick snipe to Randy and he's back to his citadel.
Julie: THAT would be the show to watch, with Joe organizing their comeback.
Louis: Yes!
Julie: Joe snapping at them during rehearsals, demanding 16-hour recording sessions that would bring the brothers to tears and emotional discovery.
Louis: And then maybe Joe could try the choreography, and HE has an emotional discovery from his days tapping for dollars in the Big Top. I'll organize our pitch.
Julie: The brothers agree to let Joe lead their reunion tour, but only if he agrees to family therapy.
Louis: Drew Pinsky is on the dial. He says he can make time.
Julie: THAT is the show.
Louis: This is it!
Julie: This is it.
Louis: RIP.
Julie: RIP.

I don't know why people have to be so negative; this show is no more or less than the other family reality shows that comes on tv. The show is about the four Jackson just like the movie to tell how they started, not the sisters. This reality show was in development before Michael (may he rest in peace) died and I'm sure they do feel hurt when they talk about him. Don't you feel that way when your love one dies???
Stop being so negative, even though I know that's hard to do because that's what you get paid for, BEING NEGATIVE. While we here on earth and in the flesh, everybody has something to hide because there's no perfect person here on earth and I hope nothing on you get to the paper and see how you feel. However, I was wondering where was Randy because he was with them for a little while whereas they became six on stage.
I'm sorry but honestly the show (in my opinion) sucked. It was boring. Most of the things they talked about people already knew. We knew how tito broke the string on the guitar, how they became famous, Michael's passing (R.I.P) etc,etc,etc... I don't see this show lasting long but good luck to them on their comeback album.
