The brothers of the late King of Pop are going to appear in a reality TV show together, US cable network A&E has announced.

In pictures: Michael's memorial

The show will be expanded from documentary footage Michael Jackson's brothers Jermaine, Jackie, Marlon and Tito filmed before Jackson's death in June.

The documentary revolved around the Jackson brothers' reunion tour and it is not known if the late superstar will appear in any of the original footage. Nor is it known how many episodes there will be in the series.

Footage from the original documentary was aired on US entertainment show Entertainment Tonight showing Jackson's mother Katherine at home with three of the brothers.

I DO not think they are cashing in ,this show was started before MIchael was murdered. I will watch the show ,it will be interesting to get to know the other brothers ,especially Jackie,marlon and tito.. ,I like them they appear to be really humble ..and do not like to be in the limelight too much...
MJ was an entertainer. thats what he lived for. he was most happiest on stage. he was his own person when music started to play. its ashame that he died so young. i believe that MJ would have wanted this. the filming began before he died. although he's gone too soon i believe he is now in better, peaceful place! RIP Michael
Gee's they weren't much good when they were popular cashing in on your dead bro's death is the lowest, and he was just some poor drug stuffed idiot who happened to be able to sing for goodness sake let dead jackson's die once and for all
I personally think it is a great idea to have a T.V Reality show about the Jacksons. There is no way they're doing it for the money! It just shows how much they love their brother. R.I.P Michael Jackson
I am not a Michael Jackson fan but I do think he is one of the most talented performers we have ever seen. It appears to me that his family have, and still, try to maximise their benefit from his talent. I would like to think that my parents and siblings would be concerned about my peace after dying. If they wanted to make a reality show, why didn't they do so anytime in the last 20 or more years? disgusted
They have been cashing on his whole life, why stop now? Because his life was show business, and lot of fan still adore him, it seems natural thing to do for them. You must remember that he was not any average Joe. His story had to be told in the history book, that's what they are thinking.
The media needs to stop promoting the Jacksons and making money out of Michael's death. it's the three kids we should be worried about.
The Jackson's are upset (Tildy, Canberra), but only because their cash cow is now dead. They have all ridden on the coat tails of Michael, he was paying the mortgage on his parents house, had loaned them money and paid for things over the years, the phone call to his mother by his children's nanny advising her of his death - the first thing she asked was 'Where is the money he hid in the house?' - his poor excuse for a father was trying to promote a business he was trying to start with a dodgy mate as he was interviewed about his son's death - they are disgusting individuals. Maybe if they had been real parents and done their job as parents and actually cared about his welfare and state of mind, the world would not have not lost one of the great talents of the 20th century. At least now he may have some sort of peace from all the money hungry leeches and fame seekers that were part of his so called 'circle of friends'. RIP Michael
I think it's a wonderful idea and i love the jackson 5 but mostly michael ily 4 eva r.i.p Michael xoxoxo
Well I say they are jumping on the bandwagon and cashing in on Michael Jackson's fame and name. If there pursuit of this new venture is to help and protect the kids future fortune, so be it, its a good idea. But on the other hand, I truly believe they are in it for themselves as they all tried to make it on their own but failed and relied on Michael's good name and talent to get them through the doors.
