TLC TV special to feature Denton twins (w/video)

Posted 12:24pm on Tuesday, Jun. 19, 2012

Thomas and Jonathan Tapp, twins from Denton, will be featured in Twintervention, a special about twins who take "inseparable" to a whole new level. From the release:

"With separation anxiety looming large, the cameras document what life is like when [twins'] bond binds too deep. This docu-special introduces three pairs of inseparable twins who struggle to find their own identities. Unable to live without each other, [they find] simple tasks such as grocery shopping and brushing their teeth ... almost impossible for them to do independently."

The Tapps are described as extreme athletes participating in Parkour who share clothes, a bedroom and even underwear. The other pairs featured are 24-year-old Los Angeles sisters who live together -- although one is married and the other isn't -- and spend most of their waking hours together; and 38-year-old Chicago sisters who live in similar circumstances, and one's husband isn't happy about it.

Twintervention will air at 9 p.m. CDT June 27 on TLC. It's being announced as a special, but as you'll be able to see from this preview, there is plenty of fodder for a series.
