For one thing, he probably wouldn't be able to believe that his daughters started the famous reality hit series that is Keeping Up With the Kardashians today. Would there even be a show such as this today if he were still around? And, he definitely wouldn't approve of the things they have done since he died in 2003.

A recent Reddit discussion was started on what the fans predict where the family would be today if Rob Sr. were still alive.

Robert Sr. got sick in July of 2003. He was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and died only a couple of months later from the disease. Although the family are definitely not happy that he did pass away in 2003, many of the fans wonder if they would have gotten to know the Kardashian family if he would have survived and were still around today.

One thing is for sure, a lot of the things that the Kardashian clan did to make the show the hit it is today would never have been approved of by Rob Sr. Robert Sr. was very much a conservative.

One example is when Kim Kardashian's sex tapes and nudes were released to the public. Many of her fans believe she released them herself for the attention she wanted. If Rob Sr. were here, she definitely wouldn't have even thought about releasing them.

Another example is, during the first season of Keeping Up With the KardashiansKhloe Kardashian was arrested for DUI. Although Khloe was arrested, it didn't happen during the filming of the show.

0ne thing many fans don't understand is the fact that she claimed that the reason she was drinking the night she got the DUI was because of how she was depressed about the anniversary of her father's death.

However, the DUI actually happened six months before he even died, in March of 2007. The film crew reenacted the DUI arrest in September of 2007, on the anniversary of when Rob Sr. actually died.

This is the very reason her fans don't believe that she was drinking because of her dad's death. Because of this, they don't know why she was blaming her father's death anniversary on her drinking and DUI arrest.

Many of her fans on Reddit also believe that if Robert Sr. were still here today, she would make better decisions about her life, date better men, and maybe would not have been arrested at all.

Everyone knows Kim Kardashian is going to law school because of her dream of becoming a lawyer. She is definitely following in her father's footsteps. Although his clientele were the rich and famous, she is following a different path. She is going for justice reform with her law degree.

The Kardashian family's fans believe there would still be a reality show following the family and their lives. However, they don't believe that Robert Sr. would approve of any of it. However, because of the fact that he had passed away before the show started, he couldn't stop it.

Fans also believe that Robert Sr. and his family wouldn't have a very good relationship now because of the show.
