Tlc has ordered a six-episode series that chronicles the lives of a morbidly obese family facing everyday realities.
The half-hour docu series, tentatively titled "One Big Happy Family," hails from Rdf USA, whose senior vp development and current Mike Duffy created the show.
He drew on his own experience.
"Growing up, we had a problem with obesity, and I know how it feels to be fat," Duffy said.
Duffy's inspiration is his father who, at age 60, lost 200 pounds.
