"We cannot wait to serve up more family fun - and lots of surprises - to Just Like Mom and Dad's growing North American fan base."

"Creating moments of togetherness and family fun are at the core of YES TV's values." says Lorna Dueck, CEO of YES TV®. "Just Like Mom and Dad nestles in to our schedule perfectly, bringing a joyful mix of laughter, fun and family values to our stations. We could not be more excited to share new episodes with our viewers, on YES TV® this fall."

"BYUtv is excited to be working with marblemedia's remarkable team on a second season of Just Like Mom & Dad," says Michael Dunn, Managing Director, BYutv.
