Us Americans (I'm not sure if other countries have that) know how much TLC loves shows aout big families- John and Kate Plus 8, 17 Kids and Counting, and Twins Twins and Sextuplets. Not to mention, TLC will also do various programs about families that aren't so typical- little people, mutlipales, kids with health issues, etc.
So. Given that little explanation, do you think that the Pikes could be the subject of a reality show, or at least a special?
I'd say maybe like a one hour special- I think that John and Dee wouldn't mind sharing their secrets in hopes of having everyone know what it's like having 8 kids.

Well, I remember when they tried to do a show in Mallory's Christmas Wish--so I don't think it's something the Pikes would attempt again.

I bet Kristy and Karen would be all for it if the Brewer-Thomas family was approached.

Definitely. Kristy would see it as a way to drum up business for the BSC and Karen would put on a "star" outfit involving a feather boa and high heels. But the rest of the family would put the kibosh on that idea.

Oh Karen... sigh. I can see them (Pikes) being more on like, a Dr. Phil special, or Oprah... not their own TLC special.

For some reason Mrs. Barett/Dewitt popped into my mind. I just picture her on Tyra or Oprah or something on a special about blended families with Franklin next to her, crying and talking about how awful her divorce was and how Franklin is so great and how the kids get along so well...etc.

I think Mallory's Christmas wish was badly exectued because reality tv was so new. In 2008, the special might have been better made and the Pikes might have gotten along better with it.
The Dewitts/Barrets? Might be intresting, but blended families are now so comman that a special might have felt... Frivoulous?

I totally wrote a fanfic about this. I should go work on that, I started it a billion years ago. (well, not specifically about the reality show, but It was a part of the story. )
