” ‘Joan Knows Best?’ has proven to be a hit for WE TV,” said WE TV and Wedding Central senior veep of original productions and development John Miller. “Each episode features an intimate sneak peek into the lives of this famous pair and sheds light on what we as viewers don’t usually get to see.
“This is a mother and daughter who love each other madly but experience the same ups and downs as all of us. It’s this aspect that makes the show so relatable and fun for women.”
