This heartfelt, upbeat, and inspirational show is a great addition to the TLC family, as it could have been to any network. No day is a challenge for Abby and Brittany Hensel, no matter what the situation. Not only that, but it shows just how normal these girls are. The documentary/reality show focuses on their transition out of college life and into the real world as adults, taking on challenges such as finding a job, and possibly acquiring a new life away from home. Their parents decided to keep their daughters out of the media as much as possible, so the TLC show Abby and Brittany was seen as a good opportunity to respond to all unanswered questions and curiosity of the public. They have been on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and two documentary type specials on the Discovery Channel and the Learning Channel, as well as a few other appearances. Of course Abby and Brittany are no strangers to the cameras and media, having been in the public eye since birth. With this cooperation, they are able to drive a car, bike ride, and even type on a keyboard at a normal rate. They live each day as an adventure, and have never let their predicament be an obstacle.Įach of the girls control their own side: Brittany the left, and Abby the right, requiring a lot of cooperation from both Hensels. When you look at them, you would think they are very different from everyone else, but when you see how they live, they are really very much like the rest of us. Nevertheless, this proved to be nothing of a challenge for the conjoined sisters.

One in 40,000 twin births are conjoined, and only one percent of those few births make it to the age of one. Twins, Abigail and Brittany Hensel, were born in 1990 conjoined at the torso. While other shows feature overexposed weddings, extreme obsessions, and crazy kid pageants, this documentary-styled reality show follows the lives of Abby and Brittany Hensel, 22-year old conjoined twins in Minnesota.
