1000-lb Sisters fans beg for new spin-off show with 'funny as hell' family members

1000-lb Sisters fans are urging producers to create a new spin-off show focusing on different members of the Slaton family.

While viewers have fallen in love with Amy and Tammy Slaton, they're desperate to see a series which would instead focus on their sister Amanda Halterman and brother Chris Combs.

Some suggested they could star in a TLC show focusing on the "mischief" they would get up to in places such as New York or Los Angeles.

Taking to Reddit, one fan wrote: "Personally I'd love to see Amanda and Chris get a show. I think it would be fun to drop the two of them in a big city like New York or Los Angeles and see what kind of mischief they get into.

"I'm not creative with names though so it would probably be something basic like 'Chris & Amanda in the Big Apple' or something like that."

Other viewers agreed, with one person writing: "Chris and Amanda for sure. They’re realistic about everything but also funny as hell."

"I think the only appropriate answer to this question is a Chris and Amanda spinoff called "Ward of the State and Rubbin' Trachs"," another suggested.

A third viewer wrote: "Chris and Amanda! Id probably make one of his funny one liners the title."

"It may be because she reminds me of myself and my older sister, but I would love to see more of Amanda. Chris is really great too, you can tell that he actually had a really kind heart," someone else said.

Earlier this month, fans described Tammy and Amy as a "breath of fresh air" amid "unrelatable" reality shows.

The stars have been praised by viewers for being "real" about their lives as fans hit out at programmes such as The Kardashians.

Tammy and Amy have gained a loyal following as they showcased their weight loss journeys on 1000-lb Sisters, opening up about their worries and struggles along the way.

Taking to Reddit, one fan said the stars are "admirable" and admitted watching 1000-lb Sisters is "much more satisfying" than the Kardashians.

They said it was "fun" to watch rich people as a teenager when they didn't have to pay bills, but admitted that all changed when they grew up.

They continued: "Now as a thirty something I know what it’s like to have to juggle bad mental health on top of barely making ends meet and having to deny yourself almost any kind of treat.

"I'm better off now but I’ve been through that struggle. It makes watching Kim spend 20k in a single shopping spree hit different."

They finished their post writing: "Watching two people at the bottom better themselves on multiple fronts is so much more satisfying and admirable."
