Is The Little Couple over? Deadline reports the TLC series’ production company, LMNO, is now locked in litigation with parent network Discovery.
The reality series follows the family of Bill Klein and Jennifer Arnold, a couple who both have skeletal dysplasia. The show began in 2009 and has already aired eight seasons.
Yesterday, LMNO filed a suit against Discovery for breach of contract and copyright infringement, “accusing the giant media company of conspiring with a “criminal extortionist” to squeeze LMNO out of six of its shows, including TLC hit The Little Couple.”
According to the production company, Discovery allegedly took advantage of LMNO’s troubled financial situation in order to take control of shows like The Little Couple. As of now, Discovery has sent LMNO termination notices for several shows, including The Little Couple, 7 Little Johnstons, Killer Confessions, Hollywood & Crime, The Coroner: I Speak for the Dead, and Unusual Suspects.
Whether or not this means The Little Couple is cancelled remains to be decided.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Little Couple? Would you like to see the series continue?
I love, love, love this show. It is non-violent and sweet.
The little couple needs to get the cameras, off of the kids because, this is exploiting them for monetary gain! They also favor one child over the other one as well. Our Little Family is way better than the little couple.
I would be heartbroken to think I could not follow this wonderful family. I LOVE them!!!!!!
ABSOLUTELY love this show and want it to continue – do not take it off. It’s about the ONLY reality TV show that is best for TV and for families to watch. All other reality shows are GARBAGE.
I absolutely love this show..I loved them as a couple and followed them with the adoptions..they are an amazing family..I always had such happy feeling after the show
We really enjoy watch the day to day lives of Bill, Jen, & the kids!
My goodness – The Little Couple is the best of television – you cannot watch the show without feeling inspired by the courage of Bill and Jen – I think i am a better person because of them. God Bless the little couple and keep them on tv
Please do not take the little couple off, I have been watching it from the beginning.
The Little Couple is one of the most wholesome, educational, entertaining and loved shows on television. It is such a pleasure to watch this wonderful family evolve and to see them raising two wonderful children, Will and Zoe. We miss them so much! Please find a way to get them back on the air.
I think it’s the only show to watch it is awesome
I love that show, please leave it on!
Oooohhhh please bring them back! Love Jen, Bill, Will and Zoey! A clean, wholesome show that always leave me feeling anxious to see the next episode.
The Little Couple is the ONLY “Reality” show we watch. It is excellent because the couple are such nice people and their children well behaved and sweet I cant imagine why they would want to cancel it. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!
I am sure that the Little Couple has the largest audience of any of your shows.
You really cannot afford to cancel this show, because we will boycott the rest of your programs. Can the sponsors afford to lose 3 millions viewers? Not!
They also have the biggest following on facebook!
I ADORE THIS SHOW, PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!
