What's next for Jackson reality show?

July 12, 2009 A&E is working on a reality project with the Jackson family which could gain newfound viewer interest in the wake of the King of Pop's death. The project was commissioned months ago and producers have finished shooting footage that followed Jackson family members as they readied a new album and reunion tour. A&E planned to air the result as a special, tentatively titled "The Jackson Family," next year, taking a "wait and see" approach and gauging viewer reaction before deciding whether to order the project as a series.
