Do you think there could be any possibility that tlc would, under the circumstances, give jimbob an option? Option one, tlc yanks them off the air for good, hasta la Vista due to molestation not being a good subject matter for a family friendly show, OR give jimbob the option of going on television and saying due to these trying circumstances, that he and Michelle have decided to take the family off the air .....so they have time to "heal.....and come together"......this gives him a position of looking like he is still in control and the decider as family patriarch...help him to save face....
Of course, he thinks once they are "healed" then back to business as usual! Easy out?
