What happened

Members of Michael Jackson's extended family are stepping out of what they call "the Jackson bubble" for a reality show.

Why it matters

18 on Reelz, focuses on Alejandra Jackson, the ex-wife of Michael's brother Jermaine, and her five children.

Common ground

After Michael's death five years ago, they left the Jackson family home in suburban Encino, a move that a clip from the show suggests wasn't their idea.

Perspective signals
