Is smothered coming back in2023?
This show is terrible! The "acting" is unbelievable the stupid storylines are unwatchable. Smothered, Sister wives, Plathville, pillow talk and love in translation should all be cancelled. The Single Life 90 day and 90 day diaries are just cheap and lazy programming as well. I hope TLC gets some better ideas soon. They're going downhill FAST.
Sister wives I don’t believe it. I had my tv on for background noise and this show came on and it was annoying… I turned it asap. Horrible show and apparently so are its viewers for keeping it on.
Welcome to Plathville is definitely my favorite ♥️
Only a snowflake would watch TLC. Melodrama galore.
