I think the Bussey Bunch was a true heart warming show, had a story about real life and entertainment all at once.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Bussey Bunch
Parents need to know that this reality series -- which follows a blended family for whom wrestling is a family business -- includes some language ("damn," "crap," with stronger words bleeped) and underage drinking by a college student. The six children are technically adults, but many of them exhibit immature behavior. There are lots of pro-wrestling scenes in which participants are thrown, slapped, and pinned as part of the performance. Parents may want to remind kids that wrestling stunts should never be attempted without the supervision of a professional.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the different ways that television has portrayed combined or "blended" families over the years. What's changed since the idealistic Brady Bunch days? What are some of the challenges blended families face when they come together? Families can also discuss professional wrestling. Why do viewers enjoy watching people getting smacked, hit, and thrown down? Did you know that televised wrestling is actually a way of telling a story?

What a waste of time
TLC really disappointed me with this show. Leave the wrestling related shows to VH-1. At least they had someone famous. There is absolutely nothing to be learned from The Learning Channel this time. I already knew that wrestling fans and people in that business were crude and boorish. The Busseys only serve to confirm that fact. Which begs the question, why? Why would TLC waste air time on this obnoxious bunch?

I laughed at this fun family!!!!
I think that this family is trying to pursue the American Dream of having their own family business. They all are involved and are trying to make it work, no matter what it takes. As in life no one is perfect and this family seems to be true and genuine. The Bussey family seems to care and truely love eachother, which is the most important thing in life. Wrestling is physical and that is this family's business, so one needs to reiterate that to their kids.
