Reply #2: Just for sake of clarity

I just want to clearly say that the Loud family were not and are not criminals of any kind, An American Family is not about crime, nor about murder. The Louds are actual people, all but Lance still living and still a family. Lance Loud, on An American Family, became the first person to come out on TV, to the nation, America's first 'everyday gay'. After the film and until his untimely death Lance created music and worked as a journalist for Interview Magazine.
The Anthony family and the Louds are nothing alike. It should not be suggested that the Louds were on TV for reasons similar to the other family.
