With such a successful product on their hands, TLC wanted to add a similar show to their arsenal.
In came the Bates family, friends of the Duggar bunch.
Their TLC show was called “United Bates of America.”
It was similar to the Duggar version, showing off their large family.
However, the TLC version of the show didn’t last, only airing five episodes.
That wasn’t the end of their time on television.
They would eventually get another show, “Bringing Up Bates” on the station UPtv.
Now, news has broken that theBates familywill be leaving TV for good.
“As the next year begins, our family will be experiencing a lot of new changes.
Their statement was optimistic and ended with reassuring fans they would keep them up to date on their lives.
