I viewed 'The Bates" this morning. Another show about a large family (19 children). The two older ones are married and it's like a Duggar family with their comings and goings. I have to say I enjoy this family more than the other. Don't know why but the Bates come across as more genuine and sincere in their ways while the others............well, I am not all that convinced about the family harmony. Lovely Bates daughters and such energetic and positive children. I probably won't watch more shows and they are pretty predictable. From the Kardashians to the Bates and Duggars, the viewing audience can see the many and varied ideas of 'family'.

I agree with RedTop. The Bates are much more enjoyable to watch. I missed their new recent show...hope it wasn't just a one-time thing but a whole new weekly series. Does anyone know about TLC giving them a regular time slot so I can catch them some night?

I didn't know they had a show.
I did an internet search and found "Bringing Up Bates" on a network called "UPtv" (never heard of that network, either).

I am just curious , I have never disliked any of them, Bates or Duggers,...they all seem to be living according to their beliefs.
Speaking for myself and for those I know in "real life" who have opinions about that family, it has absolutely nothing to do with their current financial status. It's far more complex than that, but those of us who have tried to explain usually find it falls on deaf ears for the devoted fans. It's become an unending, repetitive cycle of threads and posts, probably a waste of time at this point.
