In a move that seemed unthinkable just months ago, Michael Vick has been signed to star in his own reality TV series.

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback who was recently reinstated into the National Football League after his prison stint for running a dog-fighting ring, is partnering with BET for what is called an eight-part docu-series.

The series will explore Vick’s past, his time in prison, his NFL comeback and his problems with his fiancé.

Vick’s own production company is producing the show and his producers say it will be different from other reality shows, with a more serious tone.

In a statement released today, Vick said: “This show can be a blueprint for so many kids. I want to show that if they have a fall from grace, this is how they can turn it around. We want this to be a story of hope."

One thing Vick did not say, however, is anything about donating a portion of his TV show profits to animal charities. He’s $20 million in debt and his sorry-about-the-dog thing comeback tour apparently does not involve financial contributions to help animal organizations.

I know I will not be watching. He got off so easy and I do not think he is sorry. Just sorry he lost all his money!!

The only reality show I would watch with this piece of poo in it would be if they dipped him in bacon grease and released big hungry animals to get him. I hope someone shatters both of his knees.

This guy has NO remorse. Ugh. I cannot believe that BET would give him this platform, and that companies will back him with sponsorships. How does this happen? This makes me sick.

Ditto for me to all of your comments. Please tell everyone you know NOT to watch his show - if no one watches it will get cancelled hopefully with low ratings.

I'm so ashamed to be an Eagles fan..this is the first time ever that I haven't supported this team. Somehow he's cmoing out on top after all that he did. Disgusting.

If there are any sponsers I will boycott. He's a subhuman who is only saying what he thinks society wants to hear. He a liar and has a very warped soul. This isn't a black issue...any human, white, black, whatever should be ashamed of him

Give me 5 minutes with Vick and three Pittbulls of my choosing , and we will not be hearing from him in a long while, let alone seeing his sorry ass on TV.
