Jackson Reality TV Show In Pipeline

The Jackson family could be coming to a TV screen near you in 2006.

Three of Michael Jackson's nephews will appear in a new reality TV show in which they try to resurrect their music careers. Michael himself appears in the pilot, and siblings LaToya and Jermaine will help mentor Tito Jackson's adult children, who used to be in boyband 3T, throughout the series. In case you were wondering, 3T didn't make much of an impression in the US but had some success "overseas" in the mid 90s. Clearly not the UK then

At the moment the show is only at the pilot stage, with producer Cory Rooney shopping around for the show to be signed to a network. It's not the first time the Jacksons have flirted with reality TV: earlier this year they failed to find a home for a series showing the family pulling together after Michael's acquittal on child molestation charges.
