It takes a show to make a family successful?

You need to think again, that thought is more problematic than any amount of typed words can convey.

I didn't read where anyone wanted this "family" to fail. The point is, this is yet another case of not being responsible, looking for handouts from others, and exploitation. Responsibility would be having the number of children you can nurture, raise, watch over, support, and help each succeed. Looking for handouts is exactly what a reality show is. It snowballs and soon the focus isn't really on the children, but the perks. Exploitation, well that should be obvious.
