Gil flying forward and Nathan floundering backwards are moments you can replay over and over. Love em all..

[@karenwichmann7986]

Addallee is a really beaitiful young lady. She reminds me of Micheala. This family is a lot of fun to watch, and they are lovely people.

[@elle19ism]

Yeah I've always thought they look a lot alike. They both take after their mother a lot.

[@rajveerxo]

She reminds me of tori

[@NODE1975]

She looks like a combination of Michaella and Tori

[@sallymiller7577]

Would love to see all thr Bates grandchildren and in-laws in there as well eventually

[@Megdracula]

Yay!!! I can’t believe they redid the intro!!! How special!!! I’m so excited to see season 9!!!!!!! This is amazing. Thanks y’all.

[@gizfunnyblomper5289]

Oh my gosh I cheated and bought all the new episodes on Amazon . they were a dollar each but I know I'll watch them over n over lol

[@user-np6wq1tx9c]

This is like the best show on TV. I could watch them every day! God bless y'all!💖

[@erinfloyd5957]

Why does this make me start to tear up?! Love this family.

[@kallirice9246]

I can't wait to watch Bringing up Bates on March 5 at 9:00 p.m.

[@cowtownjanet4450]

Can’t say “THANK YOU” enough times...the entire Bates family are so special in so many ways. It is a joy to watch their shows and interact on Instagram and KZbin❣️

[@RoyalMasterpiece]

May they have another 5 years. Love this show. God bless them.

[@O_DoodleMom5]

Love this!! So thankful Lawson wore dark socks this time. 🤣🤦‍♀️

[@marybruun9621]

I LOVE this show and this family! Don’t stop...ever 😅

[@annespurlock1255]

That was adorable! So cool to see how everyone has changed over the years. We can’t wait to watch “Family” as my 4 year old daughter calls your show!

[@FenrirTheWolf01]

I can't wait for more relationship, weddings, kids,ect. 😍😍😍

[@jrandolph13]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the new opener... hopefully you'll do the split screen from time to time to TV cause THAT is toooo awesome and is so fun to see how everyone's changed. BEST opener of ANY show hands down! ( Just my opinion). 😁

[@emilykazak]

Yes! 🙌🏼 Love that you redid the intro but kept it the same! My kids are obsessed with watching the intro to this show and want to see it over and over. Can’t wait to see if they realize the kids have grown up 😅 Excited for season 9!

[@catherinerooks9964]

Literally got goosebumps while watching this.

[@carlamccoy1745]

All of you are so cute! God bless each and every one of you.

[@Sheritg21]

Yay!!! Bates are back!!!! 😁💜😁💜😁💜😁💜

[@designdoctor247]

Eeeeekkkk saw footage of spouses and the new families children!!!! Soooooo exciting!!!! Jumping for joy!!!!! Totally hoping u include the spouses and children in the opening!!!! It's the Bates family! And without each person who shows up on the show it is a slap in the face to what family is. For all those in laws who have been excluded from FAMILY photos throughout time DO the Right thing!!! Include everyone in the opening!!! When in doubt do NOT leave anyone out!!!

[@michellemybelle9591]

That's what I think. Spouses & grandkids are family too...

[@cruisingaltitudewaitress3396]

My favorite show. Such a beautiful, fun and talented family.

[@upliftingtv]

Agreed on all counts, Michelle! Tonight is the big night -- 9 PM ET! We hope you'll join us! www.uptv.com/bates/

[@debrasmall4315]

I am so excited. I can not wait. 3 more days. This family is such a blessing to watch. Lots of new grandbabies to see. Just love them all. 🙏 and Blessings.

[@mrs.garcia6978]

Great work! I feel old now

[@garybaker2617]

Love this beautiful family GOD BLESS ALL of you 🦋 I've been watching since 1st episode... Hi from Australia 🦋

[@e.s._berry]

Joshua come calling! The forgiveness is epic!

[@n2creativity-ccladee640]

Love the new opening! Excited for the new season! My grandmother was one of 14 kids and my grandfather one of 18. This family brings back fond memories (and helps explain why my mom had 130+ first cousins!). Thank you!

[@upliftingtv]

😮

[@michelleb.3251]

Love the new opener! Also, was it just me or did anyone else think that the couples would be jumping with their families?🤣

[@upliftingtv]

Maybe for Season 17? 😂

[@michelleb.3251]

@@upliftingtv That would be the best!!!

[@catherinerooks9964]

Omg I love this!!! Obviously everyone looks so different now that they're older but omg everyone still looks amazing!!!

[@ericastout9873]

God bless you and your family 🙏❣️ 😇❤️. Love you guys so much and Jesus does too.

[@annitaphillips3038]

I love this family I remember seeing them on episodes of 19 kids and counting and thinking how cool would it be to have a show for this family. I dont get the UPtv so I'm praying I can watch it on my tablet. Can someone help me figure it out

[@upliftingtv]

Annita, you can watch past seasons of Bringing Up Bates on your tablet (or numerous other devices) with an UP Faith & Family streaming subscription. You can sign up for a free trial here: www.upfaithandfamily.com/bates/

[@pixiegrace1996]

It’s on the FrndlyTV app

[@jysguitar]

When we going to get access to the theme song for download??

[@upliftingtv]

The song is called: Talkin' About Family by the band Max & Simon.

[@tiawilliamson8329]

Can I watch this in the uk? Still waiting on the rest of season 8 on amazon prime

[@upliftingtv]

Tianna -- the new episodes will be added to UP Family / Amazon Prime in the UK eventually. Thanks for your patience!

[@tracylouisepoynton]

How can I watch this show in Ireland

[@upliftingtv]

Tracy -- try UP Family (upfamily.com). It's in the UK, but it might extend to Ireland. FYI -- it's just past seasons (through the middle of 8, I believe).

[@sff.f1114]

I live in Norway, where can i watch all seasons:)?

[@upliftingtv]

Suzanne, hello from the United States! UP Family in the UK is probably the closest you can get. It's a streaming service, but I don't think it extends to Norway. Also, it's previous seasons -- not the current season. Sorry I can't help you more, but we love that you're passionate about the show!

[@sff.f1114]

Thank you for answering! That's too bad, I really love this show. I'll just keep watching on youtube.

[@upliftingtv]

@@sff.f1114 we have a LOT more scenes and exclusive videos on our website. www.uptv.com/shows/bringing-up-bates/ Also, you can check them out in a live chat tonight at 8:45 PM ET (not sure what time that would be for you) on our Bringing Up Bates Facebook page: facebook.com/BringingUpBates/

[@cartersusan]

I wish the intro included the spouses and the grandkids.

[@morgan3368]

It's quite ridiculous that on the videos about this great family, y'all turned the comments off. I think it's because UPtv knows we're all angry they cancelled the show, and they don't want us to be able to speak about it . This is the only video I know that allows commenting. shame on you UPtv.

[@Grabfma040508]

Lawson got to fix his mismatched socks in the new opening .

[@lovesanimalshatesrats6339]

Can’t even wear pants to jump on a trampoline, ridiculous. However, their lifestyle is very intriguing to me, and I love the few episodes I’ve seen, wish we got this channel in Canada!

[@AtHomeWithJenn]

Michaella is older than Erin and Alyssa, I wonder why in the show intro, Erin and Alyssa are before Zack, instead of Michaella.

[@mrs.garcia6978]

That’s Jackson?!

[@upliftingtv]

IKR?!?!

[@karenpierson9841]

I'm so sad that they canceled the show

[@MzBeeTJay]

It seems like they were in birth order up until the last 6

[@bonniebodoff3921]

The opening is great, but it ends up going out of birth order

[@allisonhann6767]

This show is disgusting. 19 kids? I would have neutered my husband after number 2. How awful he is to make his wife have that many kids. Don't we have enough kids in this world.

[@upliftingtv]

Allison -- I don't think he "made" his wife have 19 kids. The decisions were made together. And they love all of their kids and couldn't be happier.

[@allisonhann6767]

UPtv still very disgusting.

[@stephanieranum1705]

Love it!!!
