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 The Little Couple. Considering other reality shows that are on the air, it would seem so foolish to cancel this show. This show touches on so many areas of life without glitz and glam and sexy bodies, etc. Just nice wholesome people dealing with life.
Please do not cancel The Little Couple. Best reality show ever. I miss seeing them. Jen, Bill, Will and Zoey are like family, I feel like I know them. They are so real and down to earth. They show the world that they are just like everyone and can achieve anything they put their mind to. Jen and Bill are awesome parents.
Please keep this wonderful show on. It has been fantastic to watch since airing in 2009. Jen and Bill don’t let anything get in their way proving to their kids they can do anything.
I love the show. I don’t care for a lot of the shows on now. There are more Murder shows now and Love at first Kiss, who needs that. Give us back the family shows (except the Duggars). I miss them.

The Little Couple is one of the BEST reality shows on television. The family is fun, positive, warm and a joy to watch – love Will, Zoey, Jen and Bill. It would be such a loss to television if THIS show was cancelled – this is a great family, Do the right thing, make your viewers happy and bring them back.
TLC is out of my selected channels if The Little Couple doesn’t come back. This is the only family show worth watching on TLC. Real people with real issues we all have come to call family… Of course large companies have no idea what love is, money runs everything doesn’t it. I’m enraged right now.
I absolutely love The Little Couple. I have the series set up to record, therefore I hadn’t realized there hadn’t been any new episodes recorded, until recently. I would hate to lose one of the few shows my family can watch together ! Please bring it back. And it’s also pretty sorry the way the bigger company is treating the struggling little guy !! It’s always about “the bottom line” isn’t it ?? God forbid, you big guy’s ever need anything from an even bigger company !!
PLEASE, PLEASE, DONT CANCEL the Little Couple, this show has become part of us, my daughter and I have become closer this is our mother-daughter time we look forward to it weekly, please bring a new season…Wil and Zoey are the BEST…
