Jackson Series Gets Deep Sixed -- For Now

The Jackson family is stuck in development hell -- at least their new reality series is.

Last spring, CBS ordered 8 episodes of "Pop Dynasty," a competition to find the next superstar music family. Jermaine Jackson was listed as executive producer, and was all set to judge alongside brother Tito and sister LaToya. Then nothing happened.

"It's still in development," producer Steve Kroopnick tells TMZ. "We are hoping it will come to fruition at some point, but right now, nothing is happening ... it is for purely financial reasons."

18. Enough is enough. I remember the Jacksons when I was growing up and I thought they were great. However in the last number of years with Michael molesting boys and the family living off his wealth, the money is gone and so should Michael and the rest of his family. Michael and his family are "History". Pun intended. Michael if you read TMZ please, please just go away. No one is really interested in you or your family anymore. The damage is too deep and permanent and you can blame only yourself for what your life has become.

20. Ladies and gentlemen, ignorance is not becoming, nor is wishing harm on others. Hence, chill, unless you want others to do the same to you. It's probably a rumor anyway. Don't believe everything you hear, watch and/or read on TV, the internet, and/or the radio.

Also, if you're going to insult someone, use your rules of grammar and spell your words correctly, please.

22. There are some celebrities that just needs to be put on a boat and set adrift and never be heard from again. Some of the celebrities are, The Jacksons, The entire cast of Dog The Bounty Hunter, OJ Simpson, Kevin Federline, Joan and Melissa Rivers, Nick Cage (cause he cant act), Steven Segal and a host of others including a couple of the Baldwin Brothers. To make the passenger list you either have to be an overall bad actor/singer etc or have a couple of big hit movies, then nothing else for around the next 5 years. Dog the Bounty Hunters cast does not fall in either of these categories but needs to be allowed to drift with the rest of the losers because the show didnt need to be put on TV in the first place. I think the sailing date is December 1st. Everyone be on time.

25. The Jacksons are an extremely talented family. You people are a bunch of haters. Probably the same peeps buying Brit's new album and pining for Rosie to do another show. You're the freaks.

MY, MY, MY....... ARE YOU NOT GETTING THE "AMERICAN NEWSPAPER", HAVE YOU NOT READ ON THAT FREAK-FEST OF A FAMILY.

I AM SURE, YOU ARE THERE NUMBER ONE FAN, BUT TO PUT THE WORD "TALENT" ON WHAT IS MORE LIKE "USE TO BE TALENTED".

I BET YOU MUST HAVE CRIED YOUR ASS OFF WHEN LIL MICHAEL WAS IN COURT FOR MOLESTING THE BOYS, OR WERE YOU ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE, THAT REALLY TRULY BELIEVE, IT'S "OK" TO SLEEP W/ YOUNG BOYS IN BED, NOT TO MENTION THE KIDS WERE NEVER RELATED TO HIM.

LOOK, YOUR A SICK F@$K, AND MAYBE ON THE SAME MEDS "LIL MICHAEL IS ON"

MAYBE WE'LL ALL SEE YOU AND LIL MICHAEL ON " TO CATCH A PREDATOR" .

29. To tell you the truth I would love to see the Jackson's reality TV show it would be very interesting and it would give us a closer look at their everyday controversial life and also see the true Jackson's. Let's not forget Michael is still the biggest selling artist of all time and nobody has never touched that and let's not also forget about the Jackson Five who also made a mark in the music industry and of course the beautiful Janet Jackson. Michael did not commit those allegations if he did he would have been locked up by now it's all about the money all those kids that he tried to help out and did him dirty and their parents as well are the one's with Mike's money. He's a normal guy and everybody that dealt with him or had a one on one with him has said the same thing. THE END
