I semi enjoyed the couple episodes I saw but I pretty much treated it like an infomercial for infomercials. As such I just kind of assume that the "personal" stuff shown is just as likely to be a performance as not.

True, and a lot of the "fights" were obviously staged. Even so, his son was working side by side with them on nearly every product shoot. There was an episode where they visited Billy Mays' father and showed one of his (kinda wacky) product ideas. The crappy show wasn't able to hide the fact that this family is pretty closely knit, and that they all worked together.
