The new show will premiere tomorrow night, Tuesday March 13, 2012 on TLC. There will follow eight 30 minute episodes this summer chronicling the life and ministry of the Bates family. With strong Christian family values and an example of raising godly children, I look forward to learning more about this family. With the recent premiere of such filthy shows that blaspheme Christ and show only the hypocritical side of religion such as GCB on ABC, it is good to see this family also getting an opportunity to share their lives and faith with Americans.
I was especially happy that the family seems to have avoided much of the perversion of our culture, which was noted in this interview excerpt:
"Their kids are home schooled by Kelly with a big dose of Bible study. They dress modestly (long shirts, no pants for the girls. No shorts for the boys). They aren’t allowed to watch regular TV. Their idea of a good show is a 1950′s character study like “Roy Rogers”.
I asked Lawson, the square-jawed, clean cut second son if he’d ever heard of Snooki — the crass, hard-partying star of “Jersey Shore”? and he looked at me and said sincerely, “is that a dog’?”
“How about Kim Kardashian, ever heard of her?” I asked. “Uh,” you could see him racking his brain and then replied trying to be nice, “uh, No.”
