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?!

1.0 out of 5 stars Where are the 4 Bonus Features?, February 2, 2010

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring Family to Learn From, May 25, 2010

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...
