I thought they were referring to the Dishing with Duggars they did recently where the family added comments to old episodes.Come on TLC, get some new shows. They keep replaying the wedding prep & wedding episodes it seems like every night plus the repeats of the old shows in the morning & early afternoon. Do they have nothing else to show? Did Boob pay TLC to keep replaying these episodes? They could replay the show about the family living on a bus shown after Jill's wedding last week. It wasn't great but beats the 100th replay of the wedding. How about showing us the Roloff wedding & their wedding prep again? Sorry, I got off topic some but TLC needs a new program director.

VioletNevermind November 5, 2014 Share November 5, 2014 (edited) The first thing that occurred to me while watching this is that they almost seem to realize that their relevance is slowly drawing to a close. This episode almost felt like a swan song. How many times can we rehash the same old crappy stories from past seasons? It was "special" to see some of the kids, particularly the girls, act a bit more down-to-earth and real. As for J'Chelle's syrupy voiceovers, she would fit in great in a preschool setting (or any situation that involves Ben). I'm not too worried about the older kids' ability to move on with life when the show comes to an end, but I worry about the younger ones. This circus is all some of them have ever known.

Josie, the miracle child, has chores to do. I call bs on this one. After the sixth child, the older kids were willing to help raise the younger ones. Snort...

The dry out, split end, needs a good trim look is not a good look. JB worrying Michelle would stain the carpeting while giving birth. What a major ass.

Temperance November 5, 2014 Share November 5, 2014 Finally seeing the lego talk. I was surprised they bleeped the Duggars. Literally they have to replay the last episode shown less than an hour ago. I've never understood the filming of births and the viewing of births and the shows around births (such as TLC's A Baby Story and DHC's Birth Day), but clearly there's an audience and a market for all of this. Jimbob's face when that boy said "Actually I don't like tater tot casserole." The Duggars know how to film tv, that's a career building skill. Joseph has the same hair as Jim-Bob. Yeah it's sweet watching all the good times, a lot of which they could afford, because it made better television. Did any see how Michelle was listed in the credits at the end?

They pretty much have worn their hair the same way since the original specials aired. I have seen significant changes in their wardrobe especially in the past few years. Their modest modern is a little bit more modern now thanks to maxi skirts coming back into fashion.

Pretty impressive for five, and especially if she's supposedly behind in other areas.

joanofarch4 November 6, 2014 Share November 6, 2014 I'm beginning to think Anna has Michelle beat in the baby-crazy department, however she tried to play it down that one time by saying she's content with what she has - I wondered who she was trying to convince; probably herself - it's clear when watching reruns that she's all about being the next "19 Kids" star. Wonder if Jillard will give her a run for her money? Hadn't thought about the "paying Amy" angle; hasn't she been of legal age for some time now, as I think she's in her mid-20s? But maybe they no longer need her input with all of the wedding footage suddenly available. It was also interesting to see this week in reruns the beginning of the Stonybrook house restoration in 2012 (it was hinted that JD might get married and occupy it, but obviously that never happened) and the jewelry JB bought "on his own" for Jill's 21st birthday. Call me crazy, but he's just a little too fond of that particular daughter for my taste!
