Airdate: Michael Jackson: The Last Time

By David Knox on July 2, 2009 / Filed Under Programming 42

michaeljacksonAnd then we’ll get Michael Jackson: The Years between 2003 – 2006, Michael Jackson: What He Did on Sundays and Michael Jackson: Programmers Argue Over Which Bit of Footage To String Out For More Ratings.

Yep, there’s another Jacko special rushed to schedule, Michael Jackson: The Last Time, this time on Seven.

It is slated for 7:30pm Monday night, as the network did this week.

This one features his last televised concert, reuniting with his brothers on stage as The Jackson 5 for the first time in twenty years.

Once again it bumps the finale of How I Met Your Mother and a repeat of Scrubs, this time to July 13.

Don’t blame it on the sunshine.

    im so sad to hear he died, he was so caring, my one dream was to meet him for real. every time i hear his song ‘speechless’ my eyes tear up so much. because i remember him.

    everyone always judged him for his looks, well i say shove it up yours no body’s perfect. i saw this show and i saw the other two. i love hearing his little voice and his giggle always made me laugh. his moonwalk is incredible. Michael Jackson is my favorite singer and dancer. he makes me smile every time i see him on TV.

    he was the greatest pop star who lived on this earth and he will always rest in are hearts. Michael be happy where you are, cuz when ever your happy you make me happy. Rest In Piece Michael.

    P.S i home everyone misses him as much as i do. oh i wish he never died
    i hate heart attacks the same thing killed my grand dad.

  9. H1NG0 July 7, 2009 at 12:30 pm -

    Mim, the song was heal the world

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I watched this a few years ago and it this seemed to be a very cut down version.

    Hi guys,
    At the end of his show last night on channel 7 there was a song [a very short part of it] they played while showing his life span, what was that song…? was it we are the world..??

  11. Leah July 7, 2009 at 1:24 am -

    Loved this concert but unable to watch from the beginning. I’m begging for a replay… MJ is the greatest performer that walked (moonwalked) this earth. MIchael Jackson RIP.

  15. acc July 6, 2009 at 9:27 pm -

    Is there a possibility of replaying this special show or where can I possibly get a copy of it? Pleeeeeeeaaaase… I’m sure, I’m not alone on this one. Got home from work while the concert was close to the end. =(

  16. FuZZ July 6, 2009 at 9:08 pm -

  18. Larissa July 5, 2009 at 9:47 pm -

    I grew up with michael jacksons music..i will never forget his songs or those dance moves…his music will be foreva..even tho he’s not here to make more…

    RIP michael xoxo

  19. Jay July 5, 2009 at 2:21 pm -

    Yay!!! :)
    I so remember watching this! I was 5 and it was the first time that I actually saw what Michael Jackson looked like! This was so cool! My family taped this and I just watch this over and over again. I wish they showed MoonWalker though because I’ve never seen it but I heard it was amazing too!

    I’m so glad that it’s gonna be shown but I’ll also be really sad watching this. They are all singing and dancing together and they look like they are having a great time, having fun and loving finally being together on stage and then we all know that this is never going to happen again with them all together!

    But still great job seven! Very proud that you have handled this event with respect unlike channel nine, who aren’t even worth saying anything about!

    I remember watching this back when it aired the first time – it was a great concert, can’t wait to see it again. I’m still so shocked about his death, and sad that we will never get to see his “this is it” concert that would have certainly come to Australia… RIP MJ – you’re in a better place now, free from all the feral haters .

  21. Simon July 2, 2009 at 7:10 pm -

    i hope any of the networks plays “moonwalker” im dying to watch that again!

  22. Mike Retter July 2, 2009 at 4:55 pm -

    Its actually a really good concert. I want to see all his older concert dug out and broadcast too. Some of the best things he did were the in-the-moment Billie Jean routine robot/gravity defi moves. Hee-hoo! Shumonn!

  23. Paulie July 2, 2009 at 4:54 pm -

    i was wondering why my tivo didn’t tape How i Met Your Mother finale.
    It even now available to download on Itunes Austalia.
    Might just watch from channel BT

  24. Leon July 2, 2009 at 4:50 pm -

    Brace yourself for more Specials.. ‘The life & times of Michael Jackson’ on SkyNews-Australia i understand this weekend..

    ..and rage will be Airing a Michael Jackson special on August 1st

  25. Bogues July 2, 2009 at 4:46 pm -

    This will be the first ‘special’ MJ programming I will watch. Not at all interested in ‘what really happened’ when no one knows, but will be interested to watch his concert. Feel sorry for the HIMYM fans though.

  26. Craig July 2, 2009 at 4:27 pm -

    I know Seven has a packed schedule right now with no movie nights to bump but why Monday and may HIMYM season final again! Thank god I saw it several weeks ago…

  27. Nathan July 2, 2009 at 4:05 pm -

    This will be excellent, keep em coming and keep the crap ones away, like last nights CH 9 one, that was disturbing and really stupid!!

  28. Ryan July 2, 2009 at 3:54 pm -

    I too would rather watch a concert of his than more documentaries on his controversies, we should be remembering him for the talent he was, not his personal life.

    Although I do wish Seven could just play out the season final of HIMYM. I’m not going to wait for another 2 weeks before I get the chance to see it, given Seven don’t through in another special of some description.

  29. John July 2, 2009 at 3:36 pm -

    I’m happy about this. I enjoyed this concert.

    Pity Seven was petty enough to rename it.

    It’s actually called the Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary Concert.

  30. Cin July 2, 2009 at 3:20 pm -

    F*** I hated Ch9 Wednesday special, I couldn’t even finish watching it. Ch10 Wednesday’s was the best so far. Love MJ

  31. Paul July 2, 2009 at 2:04 pm -

    A good move, would rather watch his live music performances ahead of scandal analysis

  32. philm July 2, 2009 at 1:45 pm -

    while this is getting a bit too much this should actually be very enjoyable. Looking foward to it.!

  33. Quentin July 2, 2009 at 1:34 pm -

    Now this is what I’m talking about! A proper Michael Jackson tribute to remember him by his artistic, creative and out of this world talent…Will definitely watch it!

  34. dede July 2, 2009 at 12:59 pm -

    I’m sure this won’t be the last time!

  35. Darryn July 2, 2009 at 12:54 pm -

    whats worse is the funeral is yet 2 come. Thank god for abc2

  36. Leon July 2, 2009 at 12:38 pm -

    I wonder if Ch9 or Ch10 try airing another Michael Jackson special on the same day..

  37. Jerome July 2, 2009 at 12:37 pm -

    too much!!

    but from a ratings point of view it will do better than the comedies. and viewers clearly aren’t tired of them.

  38. David @ Green Point July 2, 2009 at 12:37 pm -

    Surely it’s time the TV programmers beat it.

  39. mac July 2, 2009 at 12:31 pm -

    sevens website haven’t even undated their tv guide yet.

  40. Macarthurblack July 2, 2009 at 12:30 pm -

    Yeah, at least it’s not a rehash of footage and clips that we’ve all seen before. It’ll be great to see a concert of his on TV!

  41. Azmond July 2, 2009 at 12:22 pm -

    Enough is enough. How many more times will tv channels milk this?

  42. Reubot July 2, 2009 at 12:01 pm -

    At least this one is about the music.
