Non-family

Bates Family

The most often recurring guests (other than relatives) are the Bates Family from Tennessee. Because they are so similar to the Duggars (having 19 kids of their own), they have become close friends. In 2012, there was a spin-off series featuring the Bates Family, called United Bates of America. They starred on their own show, Bringing Up Bates from 2015 to 2021.
