Sister Wives is an American reality television series broadcast on TLC in 2010. The show documents the life of a polygamist family, which includes patriarch Kody Brown, his four wives and their 17 children. The family began the series living in Lehi, Utah, but has since moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. The seven-episode first season ran from September 26 to October 17, 2010 and strong ratings according to Nielsen Media Research. Season two of Sister Wives returned to TLC on September 25th.

Brown and his wives have claimed they participated with the show to make the public more aware of polygamist families and to combat societal prejudices. Brown has claimed his polygamist arrangement is legal because he is legally married only to one woman, and the other marriages are spiritual unions. Nevertheless, the series led the Brown family to become investigated for possible prosecution.

Concept

Sister Wives is an unscripted television series that started with following the lives of advertising salesman Kody Brown (43),[1] his wives Meri (39), Janelle (40), and Christine (37), and their thirteen children among them.[2] In the first season the show also televised Brown's courting and eventual marriage to a fourth wife, Robyn Sullivan, 31, who herself has three children.[3][4][5] Sullivan is the first new wife to enter the family in 16 years.[6] The only legal marriage is between Kody and his first wife, Meri, while the others' marriages are considered spiritual unions.[4][7] As of the September 2010 debut, Kody has been married to Meri for 21 years, Janelle for 18 years, and Christine, who is the homemaker, for 17 years.[8] Kody and Meri have a 17-year-old daughter named Mariah. Kody and Janelle have six children: daughters Madison (16) and Savanah (7) and sons Logan (17), Hunter (15), Garrison (13), and Gabriel (10). Kody and Christine have six children: daughters Aspyn (16), Mykelti (15), Gwendlyn (10), Ysabel (8), and Truely (1) and son Paedon (13)[9][10] Robyn had three children from her first marriage, which was monogamous: Dayton (12), Aurora (10) and Breanna (8).[10] Meri, Christine and Robyn were all raised in polygamist families, but Janelle was not.[6] On April 9, 2011, Robyn confirmed to People magazine that she is pregnant and due in mid-October 2011. On Wednesday, October 26, 2011, Kody and Robyn Brown welcomed their first child together, son Solomon Brown. Solomon was welcomed at 2:02 am weighing in at 9 pounds 10.5 ounces and 22 inches long.[11]

The Browns are a fundamentalist Mormon family (not to be confused with the mainline "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints"), belonging to the Apostolic United Brethren Church. [12] The title of the series, "Sister Wives", refers to a concept prevalent in Mormon fundamentalism that the wives in a plural marriage not only marry the husband, but are eternally united to each other.[2] For years prior to the series, the family kept their polygamist lifestyle what they called a "quasi-secret".[13] Both Kody Brown and his wives have claimed part of the reason they are participating in Sister Wives is to make the public more aware of polygamist families and to combat societal prejudices often associated with polygamy.[6][14]

Development

In the autumn of 2009, independent producers Timothy Gibbons and Christopher Poole approached Figure 8 Films, a North Carolina-based company, with the concept of a reality series about the Brown family. Bill Hayes, the president of Figure 8 Films, said the company agreed to the idea after meeting with the Browns and deciding their lives would make a great story. Camera crews shot footage of the family in mid-2010 to be used in the first season,[13] ending in May with the marriage of Kody Brown and Robyn Sullivan.[15] The crews continued to film them afterward in case the series was picked up for a second season. Sister Wives was publicly introduced on August 6, 2010 at the Television Critics Association summer media tour in Beverly Hills, California. The series's first episode, an hour long, was broadcast on TLC on September 26, 2010, and the first season continued with six half-hour chapters until October 17, 2010.[16].[13]

The broadcast of Sister Wives comes at a time that polygamy and multiple marriages are a prevalent topic in American pop culture. Big Love, the hit HBO series about Utah polygamist Bill Henrickson his three sister wives and their struggle to gain acceptance in society, had already been on the air for several years. In early September 2010, the drama series Lone Star, about a con man on the verge of entering into multiple marriages, premiered on Fox but was quickly cancelled after two episodes, and when Sister Wives first debuted, actress Katherine Heigl was in the process of developing a film about Carolyn Jessop, a woman who fled from a polygamist sect.[17]

In October 2010, TLC announced it had commissioned a second season of ten episodes, which began in March 2011.[18] A TLC interview with the Brown family was broadcast on October 31, 2010,[19] and a one-hour program featuring the honeymoon of Kody Brown and Robyn Sullivan aired on November 22, 2010.[20]

Episodes

Season 1

The seven-episode first season ran from September 26 to October 17, 2010. The season premiere introduced viewers to Kody Brown and his three wives Meri, Janelle and Christine, and their twelve children, all of whom live in a ranch-style home with three interconnected apartments.[7][8] It also chronicled Kody's dating and engagement to Robyn Sullivan, who herself has three children, marking the first time in 16 years Kody had courted another wife.[21] The new relationship creates insecurity and jealousy issues among the other three wives, but they ultimately accept her and welcome her into the family. [22] During the fourth episode of the season, Christine gives birth to her sixth child, Truely, which brings the family to 16 children including Robyn's three kids.[23]

Later, Kody and Meri go to Mexico to celebrate their twentieth wedding anniversary, where Meri discussed her sadness about her infertility problems and the jealousy that has arisen from Kody's engagement to Robyn. Kody proposes in vitro fertilisation, but she turns down the idea as she is only interested in a naturally-occurring conception.[22] As Robyn's wedding approaches, the three sister wives help Robyn prepare and they begin to bond. Kody, however, upsets his wives when he reveals he secretly chose Robyn's wedding dress himself, which makes Christine feel so betrayed that she angrily walks away in mid-interview. Kody eventually apologizes and the five reconcile.[21] The first season ends with the wedding of Kody and Robyn, where Meri, Janelle and Christine present her with a Claddagh ring to welcome her into the family.[24]

Reception

Critics

Considering its sensational subject matter, TLC's "Sister Wives" has been refreshingly modest. The stars [have] a natural, honest presence in a genre fabled for the camera-hogging antics of Jersey Shore. Rather than merely emphasizing what's different about the Brown family — most obviously, their "plural marriage" — Sister Wives shows us how normal they seem: loving and good-natured around their children, occasionally prone to envy and feelings of betrayal.

Schuyler Velasco, Salon.com[25]

Sister Wives drew national media attention after its first season,[26] and garnered generally mixed reviews from critics. Washington Post staff writer Hank Stuever called it "refreshingly frank", and found most interesting the small details of the family's everyday life, such as the food supply, division of labor and minor arguments.[7] Los Angeles Times television critic Mary McNamara said she was intrigued by the matriarchal nature of the polygamist family, a unit which is traditionally considered patriarchal. McNamara said the wives form the center of the family, and that "their bonds appear far stronger and more vital than the casual fondness with which they all treat Kody".[27] Salon.com writer Schuyler Velasco praised Sister Wives for introducing viewers to unfamiliar subject matter, and called it "refreshingly modest" considering its controversial subject matter. Velasco said it has "a natural, honest presence in a genre fabled for the camera-hogging antics of Jersey Shore".[25] Shelley Fralic of The Vancouver Sun called it fascinating and surprising, and was impressed with the sensible and articulate way in which the family defended their lifestyle.[6] When the Brown family made an October 2010 appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, talk show host Oprah Winfrey said she found particularly fascinating the relationship between the sister wives.[28]

Mark A. Perigard of the Boston Herald criticized Kody Brown for opening himself and his family up to potential criminal prosecution by appearing in the series, describing him as "a lawbreaker who is risking himself and the family he claims is so precious just to star in his own TV show".[8] Elizabeth Tenety of The Washington Post called the series "one part domestic drudgery, another part sensationalism", and claimed it relied on a "familiar reality TV recipe" shared by other TLC series such as 19 Kids and Counting and Kate Plus 8.[2] Religion Dispatches writer Joanna Brooks shared Tenety's perspective criticizing the show for presenting polygamy in a manner that "is about as interesting to me as Kate Gosselin’s latest makeover." In this vein Brooks criticized the show for not engaging the theology of plural marriage, and for letting Kody Brown's superficial comments about the dissimilarity of Fundamentalist and mainstream Mormonism pass onto the viewers without any critical scrutiny or added nuance.[12] Shari Puterman, television columnist with the Asbury Park Press, felt the sister wives had issues with jealousy and self-worth, and compared Kody to a cult leader. Puterman added, "I can't speak for everyone, but I believe in the sanctity of marriage. It's sad to see that TLC's capitalizing on people who don't."[29] Former prosecutor and television personality Nancy Grace criticized the show and said she believed Kody Brown should go to jail, but expressed doubt he would based on Utah's history of overlooking polygamy.[30] Christine Seifert, an associate professor of communications at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, said the show could give viewers who are unfamiliar with the LDS church the incorrect assumption that polygamy is accepted by the mainstream church.[26] Several commentators have taken notice of the fact that the family's religious convictions are downplayed in Sister Wives.[12][27][31]

Ratings

According to Nielsen Media Research, the September 26, 2010, one-hour premiere episode of Sister Wives drew 2.26 million viewers,[32] a strong rating for the network. It marked the biggest series debut for TLC since Cake Boss launched in 2009, and was a stronger rating than any of the season premieres for HBO's Big Love.[33] The remaining episodes of the first season were each a half-hour long, with two broadcast together each Thursday. In the second week, the first episode drew 1.88 million viewers, while the second drew 2.13 million.[34] The third week drew similar results, with 1.89 million viewers watching the first episode and 2.05 million watching the second.[35] Sister Wives drew its strongest ratings during the fourth and final week of the first season, with 2.67 million viewers for the first episode and 2.74 million for the season finale.[16] As a result of the 2.7 million average viewership for the two episodes, TLC ranked first among all ad-support cable channels in the 18-49 and 25-54 age groups. The series drew double- and triple-digit ratings gains in all key demographics and ranked second in ad-supported cable network shows during its time period.[36]

Litigation

Even before the show debuted, legal experts opined that the Browns could open themselves up to criminal prosecution through making their lifestyle known.[5] Kody Brown has claimed the family is breaking no laws because only the first marriage is a legal marriage, while the others are simply commitments.[14] However, experts claim the fact that the family has been a unit for 16 years and includes children from all three wives could lead prosecutors to characterize the non-marriage unions as common-law marriages.[5] On September 27, 2010, the day after Sister Wives debuted, police in Lehi, Utah, announced they are investigating Kody Brown and his wives for possible charges of bigamy, a third-degree felony.[37][38] In response to the investigation, the Browns released a statement: "We are disappointed in the announcement of an investigation, but when we decided to do this show, we knew there would be risks. But for the sake of our family, and most importantly, our kids, we felt it was a risk worth taking."[1][39] The Brown family hired constitutional law scholar Jonathan Turley, a vocal critic of anti-polygamy laws, to prepare a legal defense in the event that charges are filed.[15]
