The Jackson Six: The Jackson family responds Sunday night on ABC’s newsmagazine “Day One” to the drubbing they took from Michael Jackson in February on his ABC special with Oprah Winfrey. Interviewed are Michael’s mother and father--Katherine and Joe--and brothers Tito, Jermaine, Jackie and Randy. “His father didn’t abuse him,” Katherine Jackson says, “and he keeps saying he was abused by his father. And that’s just not true.” Joe Jackson also denies he ever abused any of his children. For the 28-minute piece, reporter Michel McQueen conducted nine hours of individual interviews.
