It is interesting to watch as a conservative faith-based family deals with life. If I had to come up with a slogan for the show, it would be Mr Rogers Meets The Waltons.
I am 70, so over the decades I have seen the world change and also have seen my share of reality shows. The first reality show was PBS's An American Family, which followed a family as they traversed life. Just as taking the temperature of an object changes the temperature of that object, a reality TV show changes the lives of the participants. Being in front of a camera can effect how people interact and I am sure that also has happened to this family.
Without giving any spoilers, we soon learn why the Mother is overly protective of her children. As the shows progress I just want Dr. Phil to come in and explain to them why things are like they are. "How's that working for you?" would be one of the best questions to ask the family as they learn why there is turmoil.
Parents are supposed to teach and guide their children to deal with life. It seems as though the parents are holding them back. One has to wonder that if a tragedy took the parents lives, how would these children handle being thrust into the world away from the comfort of their current situation at home? You have to wonder as one child has never had a soda until age 20. Imagine the children not having Internet access unless hovered over or being able to watch television.
Yes, you can try to protect your children from every possible perceived evil in the world, but at what cost?
This series is an interesting study in family relationships.
