Garrison Brown’s Death Causes Mixed Emotions About Sister Wives
After the gutwrenching news of Garrison Brown’s death, many fans have rallied around the Brown family to show support.

Although some are eager to know how the family is doing, others call for the show’s cancellation entirely. However, before Garrison’s passing, the Browns were already filming Season 19. With this in mind, some fans are asking for a middle ground. They want to see better conditions for children and mental health on set. Likewise, several feel it is time for a complete restructuring of the show.
Discussing Restructure Ideas
On Reddit, one Sister Wives viewer began a thread discussing changes after Garrison Brown’s passing. First, they say, “ideas for how to restructure the sister wives show.” Then the user offered a plethora of ideas for keeping Sister Wives but revamping the show as fans know it. Namely, the ideas surrounding different family members using their skills and talents to continue while still offering family updates. For instance, Christine Brown and David Woolley buying and flipping houses. Additionally, the fan suggested a spotlight for awareness for Janelle Brown to talk about life after Garrison and the grieving process. Furthermore, following pieces of Meri Brown’s life and even Kody and Robyn Brown having some of the limelight.
- One fan says, “Let’s hope they use it as a platform to spread awareness about mental health.”
- Some believe the market for house flipping is already saturated. Additionally, another fan adds, “Like, i don’t want to watch a ‘home show’, i just wanna see them fight.”
Fans Continue The Conversation Of Sister Wives After Garrison Brown’s Death
After the initial ideas were suggested, other Sister Wives viewers chimed in on what the show should look like after losing such a precious soul like Garrison Brown. Several called for legislation to stop child exploitation. Others felt the show had run its course and people needed to “stand up” by not watching it anymore. However, some were in agreement that they love the Brown family and would appreciate seeing the show continue with the possibility of a new format.
- “Nothing is cute, fun, or funny about any of these people anymore. Their plyg ‘lifestyle’ or whatever killed someone… the show was a bunch of lies, anyway. Good riddance to all of them, and may that poor boy rest in peace.”
- “Legislation that protects children from being exploited on reality shows. Not interested in anything more from TLC.”
- Some believe there should be fewer episodes since Garrison Brown’s suicide. “I think maybe they should just do yearly specials for a bit to just wrap up the show…catch up from the past year at an all family event.”
- “I not only want to see but actually half expect a Christine/David spin-off featuring frequent appearances by Janelle and at least some of the kids. I would watch that.”
- “I love the house flipping idea. Janelle can work at the listing agent, aspyns husband can build cabinets and maybe some of the adult children can pop as to help with projects every once in a while.”
