Hey everybody! I hope you all liked the show last Thursday night! The response has been pretty fantastic from friends and supporters and the folks at Discovery Health are pretty hopped up on it as well…good stuff! I just got the ratings today and our little show is the highest rated show on DH over the last month with somewhere between 600,00-800,000 viewers. As you might imagine, we are blown away by these results!
The big test comes next week when TLC airs the show for the first time. They have two dates set: Tuesday, the 16th at 9:00 pm Central and Wednesday, the 17th at 12:00 am (midnight) Central. If we have a solid rating on those two airings, our chances of moving to a series look really, really good. So if you missed it the first time or would like to keep up with the Joneses in High-Def, tune in Tuesday night!
One little twist that we are unsure of at the moment is the name of the show. TLC has it listed right now as “Quintuplet Surprise,” but we were told today that this might be a mistake and the name may stay as “Too Many Babies?” I’ll update as soon as I know for sure, but look for both on your TV guides.
The TV show wasn’t the only excitement in our life this last week, however. Britton and Brooklyn both decided it was time to give this walking thing a real go…they are so close!! Check out the video below – I caught both of them in the act in one video clip! We also had a crazy busy weekend – Nana, Bapa, and Aunt Summer (one of my two adopted sisters) came for a visit, one of our volunteers brought her new baby girl, Lila Grace, by for a visit, we met with the Pisner’s, parents of the ninth set of quints ever born in the US (1983), and somehow I managed to write a paper for my negotiations class…whew!!
Sorry to be so short, but it’s time to spend some veg time on the couch with my lady…good night, everyone!
Just saw the show tonight… can’t wait to see more! Good luck with everything! :-D
Hope you and your family stay on TV. It was so enjoyable watching all those precious babies.
I’m a fan already! I hope to see more of your beautiful family on TLC. Good luck with everything!

Loved watching your family on TLC last night! You have beautiful children! Great entertainment–I give you props! God Bless You All! Nan
Might I suggest “Keeping up with the Jones’ as a title? Or maybe that’s down the road as the series moves along. I don’t like the title “Too Many…”, but that’s just me.
One of my hobbies is coming up with titles.
luck to you all and your beautiful kids
Great show, lovely to see the parents obviously still in love with each other! I hope there are more specials so we can keep up with them.
I loved this show. This family is amazing I hope it stay on the air.
Caught the last half hour and fell in love! I want to see more of you and your beautiful family! You look fantastic for having 5 babies! i wish you guys the best of luck with everything! You guys seem to hold it together throughout all the stress and ongoing problems going on! Hope the show helps you guys!!
We’ll definately be watching!!

I believe “Keeping Up with the Jones’ would be a bit redundant because there is already a show called “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”. However, I agree that “Too Many Babies?” is not such a great title. Maybe, “Juggling Life with the Joneses” or something haha. But anyways, I absolutely love this show already. Your children are all so gorgeous and so smart! Great job!
Thoroughly enjoyed your show!!! Your children are just precious and was just in awe of how calm you both remained!!
If they don’t have anything else they definitely have each other, they will never be lonely. Beautiful family it looks like it has been a struggle for you as a couple but your still holding strong I hope to see more and will watch as your children grow. It’s fun to watch them play together. Family is always most important without them life would be meaningless.
I am going to second “Keeping up with the Jones” (not that it’s up to us). Can’t wait for the show to air because it will. It was fantastic and we all want to see you guys stay in that home of yours! Best wishes!
I LOVE “Keeping Up With The Jones’”!!!! Fell in love with your family while watching this show. I admire your faith and love for eachother!
I have now seen your show twice and I am a mother of twins, with 3 other children. And everytime I watch your show it gives me more hope that things will get better for us here. The stress of multiples is great and we feel the stress here as well. With “NO” help from others, besides my mother, I understand your stress! I love the twins and as you said at the end “their here and their not going anywhere!”……Thank you for opening up your home and life to US Viewers!!
I LOVED your show… and your house…lol… you truly are amazing people… with an amazing family… bless you all. I don’t think that i smiled that much in a long time… thank you for sharing … from Canada with love….
i loved watching your show last night! i hope you get a series I would love to follow your family :)
Saw the show last night.Good luck to ya and the family!!!
When will you all find out if its picked up for a series?! i would love to see you all more and watch the babies grow up.
I really enjoyed your show! I hope it gets picked up!
I loved the show!! I actually set it on my DVR because I thought it was already a series! You have such a blessed family!
I LOVED the show!!! I don’t really like the “too many” title…Can’t wait to see more!
I love the show and want more. I am a mom to 10 month old triplets and a 2 year old, the journey is so similar. I wish your family the best.
I can’t wait to watch your series. I am anticpating it being more popular than John and Kate plus Eight. Even though the quintuplets are cute, I’m in love with Elliot and would love to see more of her cute personality.
Just watched your show! It was amazing, we wish you luck with all those babies! We hope you get a regular spot on TLC! Despite all those babies, it is great your marriage is holding strong and that you make time for each other! Keep the love alive…it will make those babies happier! :)
I loved the show. You have a beautiful family. I am praying you guys get to keep your home!
Really hope your show gets picked up by TLC. I loved the realness that came along with your story! It would be an honor to watch your family.
You guys are amazing, I really hope your show continues! If I lived closer I would be right there helping you… I hope you guys are sucessful and continue your show. you are amazing people. keep your chins up :)
I love the show! I want more of your family the that other mom Kate… :)
I am very frustrated, i’ve been looking for your show and can not find it! I’ve gone through the weeks worth of shows on TLC and DHC your show is not on!!! I watched your show ‘ TOO MANY BABIES” on Wed July 14th and fell in love with your family. You are an inspiration! When are you on next? I have direct tv and i truly want to support your family, i’ve talked to everyone about your family and we want to be here for you.
I enjoyed the show tonight. However, I would be EXTRA careful about coming across as too superficial instead of greatful, or people mighy become annoyed.
Hi,
I loved your show and you have a beautiful family. I had a problem with the comments made in regards to Jack’s head. I am the mother of a beautiful 3 yr. old daughter that was diagnosed with craniosynostosis at 4 months old and had surgery to repair it at 5 1/2 months old. She then did Doc Band therapy for 3 months. I think cranio children are all beautiful and unique in so many ways! I would never refer to their heads as being “messed up or Jacked up”! Your family is beautiful and may God continue to Bless You!
Just saw the first show last night. I agree the title is not quite a fit…odd question: why do two of your girls have traditional boy names? Oh well, they’re all cute kids. I did think the slant of the show seemed to be on needing money to stay in that beautiful affluent home, and I can see why….however, I agreed with the agent who said “champagne taste on a beer budget”. You don’t want to go the Gosselin route ! But hopefully the show will help with finances. I will look forward to watching the second episode.
I really enjoyed the show….It was a big inspiration to me! Good luck in the future!!! :)
Good luck to you and your growing family! I loved your show and look forward to seeing more!
WHAT A GREAT SHOW, I HOPE THEY MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO WATCH REGULARY !! EVEN MY HUSBAND ENJOYED WATCHING THE SHOW W ME :)
