Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Ghoulumbe Better than most people think

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

shelbylyn-92984 Wonderful look into a fully functioning polygamist family. Watching this show has expanded my view on relationships. I recommend everyone check it out if they're going to watch anything on TLC. Definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. They deserve more credit then they're getting, people should get off their high horse. No one is perfect and the best thing about this show is they don't pretend to be. But at the end of the day it's very clear they all have love for one another.

mmiller-379-136812 Kody's ego is so big that you can only enjoy the hubris if you feed it. I would feel sorry for the wives and kids if I didn't believe they were actually taking advantage of the gravy train that allows their affluence to be displayed as necessity.In all of the episodes, their value statements and their re-creation of God to suit their own purposes, they are insulated and do not appear concerned with anyone else but themselves. Their righteous is so self-serving. Their lives are built around money and ego. Their self-absorption is not good for the kids - they can make their own choices for themselves.It's a big world - lots of needs, lots of diversity, lots of real problems. This family does not live in this world.

cobzut In many neighborhoods, families and even church congregations we use the phrase that was taken from African Villages, "It takes a village to raise a child". When I think of all of the people involved in actually raising a family a village would be so helpful. While I understand the controversy surrounding the Brown family, I , even as a married woman do not see what the big deal is, even as a woman of faith.I believe In the Bible many men took several wives, I can not give you any quotes as I have not dug deeply for them. However, what I do know is that 17 years or so ago, Kody Brown loved a woman and married her legally. He fell in love with the rest of the women and had a ceremony to celebrate. While many of us choose to go in a different direction, noting they are doing seems to be illegal or in anyway immoral. I just heard the teaser for the news and there were three crimes involving sex and very inappropriate situations, those are things that should upset us. Not a family trying to raise their family in a way that is look on as different. Watching the show I see so much of the ups to their family life. For one thing help and teamwork. How many of us wives are completely overwhelmed while our spouse is happily oblivious to our never ending to do list. They also have someone to come home to not only for themselves but for the kids when they come home from school or other events. There is cooperating with the meals, finances, cleaning even dealing with the heart ache that comes with raising teenagers. When new babies arrive, they can provide the same kind of support some native tribes and early settlers provided for women who have just given birth. There are other women in the home to assist with the baby so the mother does not become overwhelmed and can get enough rest to perform the duties a mother needs to do in an infants first few months of life. I do think of this situation though an apply it to myself and it does tug at my heart strings. I can not imagine how it must feel to think of your husband sleeping in a bed with another woman right down the hall. I suppose that if I grew up in a family where polygamy was the norm then it might be an easier pill to swallow. If it was not though, I would have a hard time not being jealous. All in all, I really enjoy the show. I understand people are asking why are they making a show about this topic however, I laugh sometimes when people talk about all of the TLC programming; TLC stands for The Learning Channel. This means that the programming on this channel is intended to educate us on topics that we might not know about all ready and are curious about. If they showed programs about things we did know about, it would be pretty boring. Also, if we are going to start attacking this family for their way of life than we should probably start attacking large families who lived together. Remember Dynasty- everyone loved that show.

hereshopin True, it bravely parades a felony act right before our very eyes and most people can't understand why anyone would live in such a way, but Sister Wives is definitely interesting enough to catch and maintain your attention.I spend most of the episodes trying to determine if these wives are truly as happy and pleased with their lifestyle as they constantly insist they are. Voices breaking from emotion are frequent and usually when describing how "rewarding" this life is but one can't help but wonder if there isn't something deeper and far less amiable at play as well.The wives are more expressive than I had expected them to be regarding territorial issues and feelings of jealousy and they do admit to their occasional presence, but what they seem to consider the "fringe benefits" of their lifestyle,(help with their children, housework and lets' face it,someone to talk to) feels more to me like what is keeping their stronger emotions in check.One does feel a bit sorry for these women as it often feels like they are being cheated, but if their expressions of satisfaction are genuine, are they really being robbed of anything? It is that steady, back and forth dilemma that as far as I'm concerned makes this show irresistible---despite it's moral or legal questionably.
