Forget that Steve Martin movie — kids are definitely not "cheaper by the dozen." Just ask the eight families of TLC's reality series Kids by the Dozen, some of which had way more than 12 kids. In fact, the Arndts, the Sentmans, the Clarkes, the Jeubs, the Heppners, the Casons, the Gonyas, and the Winterses had a total of 114 kids between them at the time — an average of more than 14 per family! The show aired in 2007 — a year before the Duggar show formerly known as 17 Kids and Counting premiered — and probably kickstarted TLC viewers' fixation on gigantic fundamentalist families. Since then, Some of the families have gone radio silent, but we've found updates on five of these clans, at least one of which is still in the TV biz. Here's where they are now. The Arndt Family Cathy and Rick Arndt of Millstadt, Il, welcomed 14 kids between 1980 and 2003, the oldest of whom is 37 now!
