Maybe TLC will try to save the Duggars show by renaming it "19 Kids and Counting on their Silence."

Not sure why they haven't just cancelled the thing yet.

1. They can kick the pedo off the show but will they still have his enablers on

I guess they can make a show called "The Quiverfull Kids"

[Gidney N Cloyd]

2. Ouch.

3. They cancelled it last week. nt

[KarenS]

4. Not cancelled,,,

Season finale was last week. But they are no longer running the old episodes during the day.

I hope they do cancel.

[TeamPooka]

5. it's called "hiatus". The show has not been cancelled yet. .

Just cause it's not on the air doesn't mean it's cancelled.

[B2G]

6. Thought I had read it had been cancelled.

There are so many threads, it's hard to keep up.

8. A steady campaign with the show's sponsors

with the repeated usage of the phrase "Touching Little Children Network" might go a long way to show sponsors hot toxic it will become to remain affiliated with the show. No credible company wants to be linked to the concept of molestation and pedophilia.

I also emailed TLC Network as well and did not hold any punches. First they had Honey Boo Boo and they were smart to cancel it as soon as it came out that the mother was dating a pedophile. If they are smart they will do the same thing with the Duggars. Anything less then that is pure hypocrisy.

11. not cancelled, taken off air for now , the show brings in too much money for them

i'm sure they are trying to figure out ways to stay on air .

I make sure in every email I send that I refer to the TLC Network as the Touching Little Children Network and that I spell it out at least twice in every email.

10. You need to tell TLC. They think if they drop the guy from the show, they'll be cool.

[avebury]

12. Oh I covered that base as well.

I pointed out the fact that the Duggar parents covered up their son's crimes and did they really want to be forever known as the Touching Little Children Network forever?

[TeamPooka]

13. well done!

[CoffeeCat]

15. Thank you for taking the time to contact their sponsors...

It's important to do that, and I hope others do as well.

Seriously. I cannot even believe that TLC hasn't cancelled that sick show.

I will happily contact sponsors, if TLC is too fucking stupid to try to keep a show on the air that includes a bunch of victims of molestation, a perpetrator and two evil parents who didn't protect their children and instead tried to cover all of this up. How in the hell do they think that's a show!!

[CoffeeCat]

14. I am really disgusted with TLC...

…the only reason to NOT cancel is money. So the almighty buck allows you to take a shameful "wait and see" approach when a family covers up pedophilia, never gets the victims help, lies about getting the perpetrator help--and covers for the perp for years?

They fucking knew he had molested girls in that family, and they did nothing for an entire year.

Their solutions were to hide Josh at a friend's house who did home remodeling, then take him to speak to a cop who was also a pedophile.

Then, they place him back in the home with his victims.

People are angry at Josh--but what about those disgusting parents who did nothing to protect their girls, who needed help, counseling and treatment. Those parents are sick!!

And TLC has to think about this for a bit longer? That network has some serious problems. Their brand has been destroyed and every day they wait to cancel that sick show--is more damage for them.

Who is advising them? No one who knows what they are doing!

16. And we have heard from their sponsor, Walgreens

Thank you for taking your time to contact our Corporate Offices. We appreciate hearing from our customers and value all comments received.

“In the wake of recent news, we are no longer advertising on the ‘19 Kids and Counting’ program.”

Again, thank you for contacting our corporate office. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your comments.
