Anyone know what Michael Jackson related programming is scheduled to air this weekend - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Just wondering what networks are doing tributes this weekend or biographies for Michael Jackson?

Want to watch as many as I can

Tonight - Dateline has a special on at 10 PM EST, and I think ABC is going to have something at 9. I want to watch as many as I can, too.

Thanks Monika. This ignorant A$$ girl at my job was getting annoyed from all the MJ talk-and was sayng "what is the big deal?

She is 24, so that explains everything

No problem, Sol!! I think one of the cable stations is going to air the American Dream miniseries from 1992. I hope someone will air The Wiz!!

Now that's one thing that shouldn't air right now, that movie was poorly put together.

True, but Michael's performance was the best part of the movie - hands down!

I will say they choose the right actors to play Michael but for the other Jackson brothers they just walked in a supermarket and asked shoppers-"do you want to star in a movie?-lol

Like Monika said, ABC is going to start a couple of specials, starting at 9PM that'll cover his life-from early age and on.
MTV was playing his music videos all day. Now they're showing America's Best Dance Crew with the episode where the groups did a tribute to Thriller. They'll probably be showing a lot of other tributes to Michael throughout the weekend.

FOX is rerunning the Top 13 (Michael Jackson night) episode of American Idol 8 on Monday night.

Oh, I thought you meant The Wiz. The American Dream is interesting because you have Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs (aka Boom Boom Washington from WBK) and Angela Bassett as the parents. Billy Dee Williams is Berry Gordy, Holly Robinson is Diana Ross and Vanessa Williams is Suzanne de Passe. Also, I think Jermaine Jackson's oldest boy played Jermaine as a teenager. Wasn't Bumper Robinson cast as one of the other brothers?

Well, I'm older than her but never really got into his music or anything.

Neil Diamond... I am not kidding. I think he's getting up there so I'm going to enjoy his music since he is still here.

CNN round the clock since Thursday evening.

The Bio Channel (Don't know if you get that) will air something about him at 10 pm tonight. All you have to do is turn to any channel, you will find something on about him. He was the biggest thing for the past 25+ years.
