It'll probably be a short segment.

That's horrible. You shouldn't talk like that. Either way, the show will be over YOUR head.

That was so mean to say, they are human just like anyone else.You will answer to GOD for the very rude comment. May GOD touch you and your family and lead you down the right road.

The parapro in my 1st grade class in Stockbridge was a dwarf named Ms. Johnston. I wonder if they are related...

Some people are so overreactive. The same people are usually pretty inadequate at important things in life also.

I am so excited to see the Johnston family on T.V. today! They have so much to tell the world. They are wonderful people who are TRUE assets to the community of Barnesville. I am happy to call Mrs. Johnston my friend and inspiration!!!

I just watched the segment on the Johnston family and I have to tell you they are one amazing family. If everyone had the attitude about life that they do the world would be a much more pleasant place to live in. I hope to meet them one day.

They were fantastic. They showed a high level of intelligence, faith and a willingness to succeed. Each of the children showed a high level of knowledge and I know their parents are proud of them. We should show that same pride in this family they are all so positive. I am proud they are part of our community.
