TLC’s New Show Features a Black Family, But…

TLC has once again added another “unique” family show to their line up.  This time it’s not about a family with a outrageous number of kids or a family that is of short stature, actually this time the show is the complete opposite.  Yesterday, TLC’s new reality show “One Big Happy Family” aired.  The show features the Coles family which consists of a mom, dad, daughter, and son that each way more than 300 pounds.  To some the show may follow a similar concept to TLC’s already popular family reality shows such as “John & Kate Plus 8”, “Little People Big World”, and “The Little Couple”, and except for John and Kate the other family’s conditions aren’t preventable.  Also the fact that the Coles family has already received the nickname “the Klumps” (Nutty Professor) doesn’t help the image of the family, but maybe I am being to critical of the show.  What are your thoughts?
