Hi Jasmine:

Ah......yes.  It was late when I read that, and I can see what you're saying....my brain was reading it in reverse so to speak.  I'd still like to see a less traditional family as the starting point, with a network that could be explored in increasingly expanded dimensions....it'd be fun to my mind....but then again, I'm in a lifestyle full of edge stretching....lol.......so, obviously I'm already not the typical viewer.

I don't see that in the request. They say, "This family should also have a  
child or children over 5...." Such a family could be twenty-somethings with  a 
6 year old, or they could be sixty-somethings with a 17 year old, or they  
could be blended family with one young-adult spouse and one older adult spouse  
and children ranging from newborn to 30s or 40s.

The bias I do note is the nuclear family starting point, "a husband and  
wife" and child. That might be something they didn't realize they were  doing, or 
it might be an intentional decision to limit the number of dimensions  of 
"uniqueness" being portrayed all at once. They can only stretch their  audience so 
far so fast before they lose that audience--and the opportunity to  increase 
awareness. 

Maybe they want to start with a traditional-looking nuclear family with a  
poly twist during the early days of the series, then move on to less  
traditional forms of poly, etc, as they carry the audience along with them.  Introduce 
one dimension of uniqueness at a time before combining them. That's  what I 
would do.
