The Duggars: In the Media and TLC

As a reminder, the site's Politics Policy remains in effect.  Yes, Jim Bob is apparently running for office again. That does not make it an acceptable topic of conversation in here - unless for some mysterious reason, TLC brings the show back and it is discussed on there. Even then, it would be limited to how it was discussed on the show.

If you have any questions, please PM the mods, @SCARLETT45 and myself.

Oh, shit. Lord of the Flies time at the TTH! There aren't enough used clunker sales in the world to support that brood, and you know Boob forked out a hefty chunk of change for those lawyers. Jessa's gonna be in that mold hovel forever.

I swear they're angling for it. Notice how Jinger makes sure to mention they're staying put in L.A., a city which has the double benefit of being an entertainment hub and a much more aesthetic shooting location than Springdale.

I'd make sure I have a good divorce attorney, Jingle.

Bin, grab your balls and just head off into the woods, never to be seen again.

Abbie go back to RN school.

Joe, CLIMB OFF HER.

Josh, you're safer in prison than with your family.

All of jinger and Jeremy's copy about being the breakout stars of counting on is now instantly out of date. Lol

I'm surprised I couldn't hear the family's collective primal screaming about the cancellation all the way over at my house. 😁

Even Jill and Derick said they'd return to filming. So glad it's never gonna happen.

TLC better not pull another counting on and revive the show,

This is long overdue. They're gonna be fighting the Bates for a spot on UP. "We're the best self-righteous family with too many children." "No, we are!"

I doubt it. They're tainted. I don't think UP has as much money as TLC. The Bates seem to be doing pretty well. They just had a new season. It used to be the Duggars were so much higher in status than the Bates. Not anymore.

Even if the Vuolos don't have another show in the bag, I could definitely see Jeremy being relieved his in-laws are no longer on TV. It wouldn't surprise me if he blames their reputation for his cancelled influencer deals and thinks he will have better luck if they have a lower profile. I think he's an idiot if he thinks that because that fool has as much baggage as LAX on his own, but he's never struck me as the sharpest knife in the drawer about anything.

I haven’t watched the show in years, so I really don’t care it’s cancelled. I’m just pissed that Josh has victimized his sisters AGAIN by compromising their primary income - excepting Jill.

Even if they got the show, neither one of them has the presence or personality to keep it going. I feel like it’ll be a Bristol Palin situation, two episodes and then the rest of burned off at Saturday 3 AM.

Hardly a surprise.  However, I still don't think the income from the show was enough to support all those people.  It probably raised their standard of living, but it wasn't their sole source of support.

There were only 96 episodes of Counting On from 2015-2020.  Aside from that weird episode around Easter it has not aired since last September.  Compare that to 227 episodes of 19 Kids and Counting from 2007-2015.  Far fewer married kids and grandchildren to support during that time frame.

Not saying the loss of the show won't hurt, especially with all the legal fees being incurred, but I doubt anyone is going to starve.

My most pressing question is what will happen to this forum now that this is not an active show?  I would hate for it to disappear.

They cancelled Umpteen Kids and Counting before, and that still didn’t get them off the TV.  I’m not holding my breath — I expect they’ll be back soon enough, either under another name, with a reworked focus on Jeremy and Jinger, or perhaps on Discovery+.

There are lots of active forums for cancelled shows. There could always be reruns.

To be fair, eleven seasons of any show that isn't Sixty Minutes or a daytime soap opera is pretty impressive, especially since this is a spinoff of a show that also went several seasons. I doubt the Duggars are thinking that right now, but they might later.

On a related now, I'm guessing that the new owner of Discovery, AT&T, was just looking for excuses to cancel long running shows - pretty much exactly what they did when they took over WB. Josh just happened to provide a very convenient excuse.

Just what I want to see! J&J in LA! Why wouldn’t we all want to see pocket squares and fountain pens and backs of kids and old books and FOOD! So. Much Food! The Hope I Hold (see what I did there?) is to see J&J’s food on TV! 🙄

SM and YouTube are modern day TV. Can we advocate to keep this forum open? They've given us plenty to post about between seasons. And... the biggest season of all is starting in November - Counting Years: Josh Goes to Court.

It’ll be interesting to see if the baby trains slow down or come to a complete halt now that there are no more TLC paychecks to help support the Duggar grandchildren.

They should have known this was coming. They can all get jobs like the rest of us and stop exploiting their kids 🤷‍♀️

Argument against the spinoff: the Vuolos haven't been putting the girls' faces on IG. Might the Smuggar scandal made them more protective of them and keep them off TV? 

Pretty please? 

Meanwhile Jessa will be exploiting her newest infant as soon as it’s born. 🥲

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the TLC money was not their main source of income. There is no way, the TLC money can pay for all of these people. If JB didn't have to pay for fancy lawyers right now, I think they would've been financially ok.
