TLC Stands by Polygamous ‘Sister Wives,’ Even If Family Goes to Jail

My only comment is that I THINK it is degrading, immoral and I have decided to block the TLC network for airing such a disgusting show. There is absolutely NOTHING well rounded about that situation and it saddens me to think anyone is allowed to get away with that. And my only question is: Are they truly supporting ALL those children on their own? Or is there a reliance on food stamps or other monetary donations from the state?! I think the government should take a better look at WHO really gets the handouts! I don't even care if it is a loaf of bread a month! Its not fair to the * working people of this country to keep footing the bill for a bunch of cows that keep having kids they cant feed! And why should I pay for someone elses health care?! I have NO respect for the TLC network after this. This show just angers most people, why not do a show that makes everyone happy and about something everyone can relate to! Don't try to convince the few decent people left in this world that this is acceptable! If I wanted to watch a reality show about One man sleeping with 4 women I believe there are movie rental places for that sort of thing, you know, the room in the back that says must be 18?!

I agree with you, i am a decent human being, and i tuned in briefly just to see what takes place in their home. The sad truth to t.v. nowadays, is that people love controversy, and networks use that to their advantage. I will no longer seek out TLC, it was my favorite station til now, i hope more will jump on our side. GOD BLESS!

I completely agree. i find this show to be appalling and i am stunned that this is acceptable for any television network. what does this say to the world, the men, the women, the children flipping through stations on tv. It shows that this is okay, and it is not! it degrades woman, tells men it's okay, and presents a sense of 'okay' for children.
I am severely upset that legal actions havn't taken an immediate action about this.

Evidentally if you didn't block TLC and watched the series you wouldn't have to ask lame questions. It explains where they get money, and who has jobs and such. Sounds like you are a little full or yourself, and think you are better than anyone you do not agree with. What a small world you live in.

I do think that kody has wronged three women, now working on the fourth, he must feel that in order to feel like a man, he needs a harem of women. The women on the other hand, want to be loved so desperately, that they will share their so called husband with other women. The real victims in all this, is the children, they will grow up thinking that it's ok to live like that. I can already see jealousy sprouting up like a weed from one of the wives, this cant be good, nor will it end well. Stop while your ahead kody, and seek mental help.

I just got an email from TLC saying they had nothing to do with Sisterwives. Very interesting indeed. What will the fallout be for the children? People who didn't know, perhaps will no longer allow their children to play with those kids? Those children having to explain repeatedly why this is happening, even though they cannot justify it except through their own family's cultish at home religion? This man, getting another girlfriend because he's in love? Oh come on. He gets horny and gets another live in sleeper who provides illegitimate children for all. This is too horrid to think about, and the fact that these women think so little of themselves to think they cannot get a man just for themselves is proof.

It seems he trades up for a new wife every 35lbs the last one gains

You know, honestly I don't see what the big deal is. No one thinks anything of some teenager out sleeping with multiple people. Whats the difference with a guy having a commited relationship with more than one woman. Is it ok for him to marry and then go cheat on his wife without her ever knowing he was doing. Who is anyone to preach about illegitament children? How many men don't even show an intrest in any of their children. These kids at least have people to love them. How many mothers give up their children because they dont want to trouble themselves with them. You condem their lifestyle because it doesn't fit with what you agree with. Is it ok then for two men or two women to be together? Is that more acceptable. It is no ones place to condem someones else's life. Each person should be allowed to live the way they want.

After seeing the show for the first time, I was totally dismayed. This man says he loves his wives, but what about the wife who was 9 months pregnant and due any minute. He says he loves them all, but if thats true, why did he have to trek over 400 miles to 'Court' another woman? Is there no concern or interest in his soon to be born child? Of course not, he's living like the wind. Going where he wants to, and doing whatever. And didn't you notice that she actually had no knowledge that he was going out of town to see the 'other' woman? Oh but he talked to the other sister wives and got their approval. The pregnant wife even cried in the post interview, and felt that she thought she was his soulmate... How sad. All those ladies are so lonely, so they do whatever they have to get a man to love them. But does he really love them? Not what I've seen on the show. And what about the welfare of the children. God help them cause they need it.

The first episode I was kind of like "Okay, I don't agree with this lifestyle, but I understand how they came to this idea and their thinking in this." I kind of saw it the way you do. Then the Robin thing happend and I was thinking ,"Man he is not considerate of his family at all, he is like a high school boy looking for a new piece." It is funny because he makes these lifelong commitments but he does it in a way where it is almost as though he can't commit. When you are married you don't get to have girlfriends and court people. They had a system that seemed to be working, and then to know that you are taking time away from the people you have committed to, and causing emotional disruption so you can go and be with your girlfriend seems so selfish and immature. Plus, she has a child with autism and the chaos of their family is not going to be good for him, and they know that before hand. What ever happend to putting your spouse and children first? He keeps saying "Every family has problems, and you work through them." That's true but he is unnecessarily creating problems. I think Robin just wants to be loved and belong, she seems to have possibly been abused in the past and just wants to fit in. I don't think the other wives are in it because they have low self esteem as others have mentioned. I think for them it is the sense of community that they desire. I am not trying to judge, as I have said I don't agree with it, but God gave us freedom of choice.

Some of Jesus' most well known ancestors (Abraham, Jacob, David and Solomon) were polygamous. With an overabundance of ladies in the population who have no husband, polygamy could be the answer.

I think this is sick,and confuses these poor children,and viewers. I hope that the mothers dont go to jail for the sake of the kids,but he needs to be behind bars for a long time

i think that we live in a world were everyone is comming out of the closet peole should be able to do what they want and how they choice i dont practise but would like too it looks so loving and you will never be alone
cheers !!!!

Fine to do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't negatively impact others. The fact that children are involved is where everyone has a problem. Has anyone noticed how maladjusted these kids are? Several are significantly overweight, and they all have socialization problems which are evident. Kody is so gross. I don't know how anyone could find him attractive.

To any of you who expressing dislike for what those ppl are doing, who are you to judge their life style Im not for it but I am not against it either I fully believe to each their own, its their lives. they are all legal aged consenting adults, he's not taking child brides or doing anything immoral, If any thing its a little bit greedy to have more than one spouse. Again to each their own! I can understand not wanting to pay for them to eat and what not but what kind made me sad was a comment about health care, I live in Canada where we have a universal health care all tax payers put money into our health care system so ppl like me who cant afford the out outrageous prices for drs and hospital visits can be well and live healthy lives, Are you really saying that if your health care was like ours you would be outraged to know you might be paying for their health care, that thought right there saddens me and you use the word decent ppl, well sir or Madame how decent was it of you to say such terrible things about ppl who appear to be very nice and very loving towards those children and each other yes their lifestyle is not what the mass population would call ideal
but it is what it is

I admire a man who can keep 4 women happy! Hats off to Kody in spending special time with each of the women in his life. They are a true family each contributing their own strenghts and the children seem very well adjusted. I'm British living in Canada and see a very stable and loving environment - there's a lot worse out there, believe me!

I think this show is disturbing... What king of example to the community?..

They should all be sent to jail

Gee. I can't seem to find the Church of Kody Brown anywhere on the internet or under any religion. I guess that what happens when you try to avoid getting arrested. Make up your own religion.If I ever get into trouble I'll simply pray to Kody Brown next time.

I think this show is disturbing, and in no way support having 4 wives. I watch it sometimes to try to understand how the hwck they could do this. I just think it is disgusting, not to mention against the law. Just the thought that they share one man is so gross.eeew. Anyways, he is * to think that he could go on t.v and not get in trouble.WHAT A MORON!

Free Country My A@$!
Really people think about it? who tells you who or what you should sleep with? when to kiss or when to love? How to raise your brats? Although this is Television and we might not be seeing the full story, I do see some pretty normal children. If those women do not have an issue with it why should the rest of the world? There are so many children with out parents, these children have five. Again we are living in a country full of lies. we are free to do what they want us to do. not what we want. I say leave the browns alone. Unless there are signs of something harmful to those children, let these people live peaceful as they had done. I was actually impressed by the way the browns ran their home and children. Something to think about when we watch the news of so many children in foster care of the fathers that kill them???
