The bates my brain went ahh. The Duggars just have something the bates don't I can't say what it is but they just do. I will not be tuning in for Bates sorry its not for me.

    Loved loved loved the bates show Mon night. I loved the fact that is showed some everyday living situations. A lot of time now all you see is the duggars traveling on every show. For a lot of ppl that's not reality.

    Love, Love, love the show. Love it. This is a real family not scripted...not being Hollywood and so, so, so happy. Only thing I can suggest is that well, Kelly's hand was placed just gosh awful for young adults to watch and the cameras zoomed in....other than that, a triple home run!!!

    I watched the Bates show tonight (monday the 13th) I just loved it! Its encouraging to watch a family live out wholesomeness on television. Now we have 2 families to be encouraged by... thank you Duggars and Bates! Of course I understand that not all things last forever, but if the Duggars show came to an end, someone in phx Az would be really sad :-( So dont go away from us ok Duggars? *wink*

    Yeah but there is only so much you can show of everyday life and that is why the Duggars travel so much because their show would be so boring without it!
    I mean, why does TLC have to make a show that is the exact same as the Duggars pretty much?
    I know they are a different family but it just seems like the Bates' have a more boring life because they are poorer than the Duggars.
    But just wait... once they get a lot of money from TLC, they will realize that they have to go on trips to make the show interesting.
    The Duggars were dirt pooor when they first started their show, and now they travel the world with their 19 kids!!

    LOVED the episodes, but anyone else thought that Gil's parents made too many negative comments about having their grandchildren visit? 3 in a half hour episode just makes me sad.

    It was so fun to watch! Yeah; one thing I never saw with the Duggars was how they teased each other, like Erin with the cookbook, and Tori with her driving. But also so sweet how one of the little boys had trouble finding the perfect gift for his sister.
    Interesting showing Gil's parents and family, and how Grandma is learning ways to cope with it and enjoy after struggling with losing it with them.

    We don't have cable or TV but what a blessing for my children to gather around the computer to watch a wholesome show. My children have learned so much from these two families. A blessing!

    Hi Annemieke,

    Right now, the only way to watch the episodes online is to purchase them on iTunes or Amazon. When/if they make it to YouTube, we will definitely post the links.

    Hi Tanya,

    We will post the links when they make it to YouTube. That usually takes several weeks, sometimes longer.

    The Duggars and Bates are living for God, and He has blessed them. What's wrong with traveling? Both families are still very frugal with their money, and they are constantly using their time and finances to serve others.
