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 think the little couple was the best show on TV. Please do not take it away its the only clean show that I can let my children watch.
There are not that many good and wholesome shows on TV, and tlc had some of the best. I love the little couple, the run of f of 17 children and counting, etc. Why are you canceling these great shows ? There’s enough trash out there!
i CAN’T BELIEVE THEY WOULD TAKE A GREAT SHOW OFF LIKE THIS,,A FAMILY ORIENTED SHOW,SO SICK OF THE GARBAGE ON TV ANYMORE,,THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO TAKE ALL THE GOOD SHOWS OFF AND LEAVE THE DISGUSTING ONES ON,,AND WE ARE THE ONES THAT PAY FOR THESE SHOWS BY PURCHASING CABLE AND WE HAVE NO SAY?? TAKE SISTER WIVES OFF FIRST,,IT LITERALLY MAKES ME SICK TO SEE THE COMMERCIALS FOR THIS SHOW.,,THERE OTHER CHANNELS THAT DO THE SAME THING,,MY HUSBAND AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THIS SHOW,,
I cannot believe that they would take a show like The Little Couple off. Some of the shows that are being shown on TLC are disgusting. Who wants to look at 600 lb people all the time
Yes please keep on. It was tasteful show. Heartwarming and enjoyable. There is too much trash on TV it’s nice to watch something unoffensive.
I enjoy seeing this family show. I certainly hope that it is coming back on t.v. Soon.
Discovery, please bring back The Little Couple — one of the most positive shows on TV.
Please bring back Little Couple great family show
Please do NOT cancel the Little Couple! This is a wonderful show, and one that the whole family can watch…together! We need more of these shows and less of the gruesome shows like The Walking/Talking Dead and others like it! Those shows are gross!
Please dont let them be cancelled. Feel like they’re family. I want to see the babies grow up.
I love the Little Couple! I don’t want it to end.
The Little Couple is one of the best TV shows that is on. It is a program that all the family can watch and enjoy. It should be at the very top of the return list. Come on lets get some decent TV shows on the TV.
One of the best reality shows on TV – Get rid of all the garbage and bring back The Little Couple! Anxious to see how the kids are growing.
That would be a huge disappointment if The Little Couple is disappointed. There are not that many shows about families. This is one I really look forward to. It seems to get longer and longer between seasons for this show. Cancelling it would be a huge mistake. From what I understand it does very well for TLC.
With all the worthless shows now on TV this show is being canceled? This goes to show you TV isn’t worth watching anymore. Discovery use to be my favorite channel but if this show is canceled I will scratch this channel of my list.
