Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it can't be shown on television. For example, there are shows such as "Addicted" and "Intervention" which show people on screen doing drugs. The shows "Beyond Scared Straight" and "World's Strictest Parents" show teens drinking, smoking and discussing other illegal activity they are involved in. So long as the people filmed agree to allow the network to use the footage, it can be shown on air.

In the case of "Sister Wives", the Browns and the TLC network know that polygamy is illegal, but the Brown family decided it would be a chance to make a positive impact by 'coming out' and showing their lifestyle to viewers.
