I've never missed an episode of the Duggar family, and when I found out that this dvd set was coming to Amazon, I jumped all over it. I had it preordered the minute I found out. When I received the dvd, I got excited to watch all the old specials, and so it was immediately popped into my dvd player. However, I realized after starting the dvd set, that the 4 bonus features were on another dvd. The explanation on both sides of the case said it has 4 bonus features, but that isn't the case. Can anyone fix this?!

Amazon advertised this item as a "2pc" set. They titled the item "17 Kids and Counting (2pc)" and they showed the picture of the dvd case sleeve that clearly stated that this item "Includes 4 Bonus Features." When I received this item, there was only one disc in the case, and there were NO bonus features on the disc at all. There were 10 regular episodes, but there were NO bonus features....even though the dvd case sleeve clearly stated on both sides that the item "Includes 4 Bonus Features" and even names the four titles of the bonus features on the back of the case. Very disappointing.
17 Kids & Counting (2pc)

As of writing this, I have bought another DVD for my extended family overseas.

I have the DVDs '17 and Counting' and '18 and Counting,' also their book.

I have spent money on nonsensical trinkets, clothing, books and more. Why not learn from one of America's inspiring families?

I'm not so surprised with huge family members. Asia and some poor regions of the world have more than 12 babies at times. The great about this family is how they have solid foundation in the Lord Jesus (Christian values) and rules not to go beyond their means.

Like most people, I have reservations about having a big family. But since they live in America, why not? Look at China, some European nations, Japan and Korea with declining population rate or disparity in gender, the consequences are alarming.

If they can skimp on non-essential expenses and maintain their debt-free status, I think this is something to behold. I admire it so much because we live in a domino-effect greed. Wall street greed to global greed to the point we live beyond our means.

The Duggars help me realize that my days can be useful with sheer family fun instead of stuffing my closet with junk. I hope to be more frugal.

As a Christian woman, their lives help me meditate...meditate...and more meditation with lots of prayers for answer on how to walk the talk of a Christ-centered life. Living in NY, Im drawn to me, mine, and myself.

I hope to impart their lives to my daughter when she grows up.

VERDICT : Great buy! A realy family-oriented DVD. No demeaning language, mom-dad fights etc...

I just can't believe how well organized this family is! Such great values! The only reason I give it 4 stars is due to... I order the DVD with the bonus scenes and did not receive it, I received a regular DVD. Oh Well! Other than that, they will always be a 5 star rating in my books!

I bought this as a Christmas present for my best friend. She has only seen the Duggars a couple times as she does not have cable. She was really surprised and pleased to get it. It was nice to buy it on Amazon so that I could have it mailed directly to her address. It was fun, because we were talking long distance on the phone when it came to her house, so she opened it while we were still on the phone. We both like the Duggars because they set such good examples for parenting and raising good citizens for the future. They have a lot of kids, but they do not receive any government money. The kids have good lives in the big house that the family built by themselves as much as they could. With children growing up in such awful situations in these days, it is good to see a family with kids who have manners, do not have attitudes, do not drink or do drugs but yet enjoy their lives. My friend watches episodes from this dvd when she needs a lift and it really helps her.

You cannot go wrong with this DVD. WE LOVE IT!
Great for the whole family!!!
as a buyer, seller INETVIDEO is not recomended by me.

I too ordered the "2Pc" DVD set and received a case that has one DVD and no bonus features. The outside clearly states "Includes 4 Bonus features" but there are just the 10 regular episodes. Bummer. The shows are great though. Good, wholesome family viewing.

So much fun watching theis family and getting ideas on how to raise my family to love the Lord. It is so nice to be able to havesomething on TV that does not offend christian families.My 3 & 5year old love to watch this show over and over and wants to know if we can met them one day.

Having six kids of our own I was excited to hear about a bigger family than ours that people seem to relate us to (and that they are well known as a good reputable family). I was pretty bummed though that the DVD (TV series) didn't show much day-to-day life.

AWESOME! I bought this season for my 4 year old who absolutely LOVES watching the Duggers! It's a perfect video; no foul language, no rudeness, loving, caring, kind, thoughtful, all the qualities of the Fruit of the Spirit are evident in the Duggers lives. Their quality standard of living are examples I want my children and family to follow.
