Its cool that they're sticking together but its not for me. They are building a 34,000 square foot home. Its like the holiday that never ends.

Of course. What channel other than TLC would pick up a show like this? Obscenely large families are their trademark.

Its not really an obscenely large family. Its a mother and father, their six kids and their six spouses and kids all living together in one large house while they plan to move to an enormous house.

I see there's a plaque on the wall that says "Christ is the head of this home, unseen guest at every meal and silent listener to every conversation".
