I think this article is a good summation of Lamar's tragic story. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/between-the-bright-lights-and-darkness--lamar-odom-is-burdened-with-his-own--true-hollywood-story-231906633.html

In this article about the cancellation, TLC's president mentions other shows in the pipeline, so I wouldn't rule out a Jill/Jessa show. https://www.yahoo.com/tv/tlc-cancels-19-kids-and-counting-124243154675.html

It's bad enough that Kate revealed Colin's challenges on the show. Thanks to her big mouth it's now become an item to be exploited by In Touch, as "the troubled son." http://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/kate-gosselin-opens-up-about-troubled-son-collin-62319 I've always felt sorry for the lack of privacy these children have suffered since they were babies. No child should be subjected to this kind of publicity.

Compared to the reactions from other right-wingers, they were pretty subdued -- at least for now. http://www.examiner.com/article/duggar-gay-marriage-post-slammed-as-being-judgmental-by-followers

In Touch is reporting that the DHS investigation continues. http://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/child-services-investigation-into-duggars-continues-as-they-remain-silent-61236

The article goes on to say that despite this lapse in vetting, it's unlikely anyone at TLC will lose their job over it, and since their focus has been on "freak show" programming, they'll probably try to ride out the scandal rather than change their focus. https://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/inside-tlc-19-kids-counting-disaster-why-network-220358875.html

People is reporting 15 sponsors have pulled their ads, including: General Mills Payless Shoesource Walgreens Choice Hotels CVS H&R Block Behr Jimmy Dean PureLeaf ConAgra Foods Ricola Keurig Party City Ace Hardware David's Bridal http://www.people.com/article/19-kids-counting-sponsors-pull-ads-molestation-scandal

TMZ updated their post to include Walgreens: 3:20 PM PT -- Walgreens just officially pulled the plug on its ads saying, "In the wake of recent news, we are no longer advertising on the '19 Kids and Counting' program."

Mama June is threatening a million-dollar lawsuit if TLC doesn't bring back HBB and allows the Duggars to continue. http://www.tmz.com/2015/05/24/mama-june-threatens-to-sue-tlc-bring-back-honey-boo-boo/ I detest June but if this works and TLC cancels the Duggars, I'm fine with it.

There are over 5,000 comments on this Yahoo article, most negative about the Duggars. https://celebrity.yahoo.com/blogs/celeb-news/tlc-yanks--19-kids-and-counting--after-josh-duggar-molestation-confession-184115564.html

Meanwhile Alana is still way too heavy for a girl her age. June is so focused on herself she apparently has little time for helping Alana to learn how to become more active and eat a healthier diet. That poor kid will be huge by the time she's a teenager.

Me too! I love an upset, and when it's Miss P blazing by the favorites, even better. Love that movie! "Rhapsody has two mommies!" "Who's that in the burgundy jacket? Mr Hip!" "You've got your Busy Bee! Do you want your Busy Bee?!" "Thanks a lot, you stupid hotel manager!" "She looks like a cocktail waitress on an oil rig." True of goldens (#3 in AKC registrations), but even more so for Labs, #1 in AKC registrations for 20 years. In fact, any of the breeds in the Top 10 for AKC registrations become overbred with associated health problems due to puppy millers and backyard breeders producing dogs for quantity, not quality. Very sad indeed.

The parent/national breed club makes that determination. Members of The Labrador Retriever Club would have to initiate the effort to change the breed standard to create separate color varieties. It's a huge undertaking to change a breed standard so unless there is a determined, coordinated effort supported by a majority of the members, it won't happen. English Cockers have black, red and liver solids, and black/white, liver/white, red/white in roans and parti-color and none of them are separated by varieties I'd loved to see a retriever win the group tonight and go on to BIS, my preference being the golden. I think the closest a golden has come to BIS is winning the group some time ago so still waiting for that first BIS. My favorites so far have been the OES and the Xolo. They really have that ring presence that says, this is MY show.
