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?
The Little Couple is the very best family show on TV today, and my wife and I have followed it faithfully from the beginning. We have wondered why we have not seen trailers and announcements for a new season, and we are hoping logic and the need for quality programming will win out over litigation and greed. Please, please continue this show.

I miss the Little Couple. It was one of the best shows on TV. Whenever do you see a TV show give so much positive and inspiration these days. A show without crime, foul language or excessive drama….wow what a revelation!! Shame on those who want to cancel such a great show that has a tremendous following of viewers.
Keep them on. I love/watching them. They are so sweet. They’re kids are adorable. One of my favorite shows.
Please bring back the little couple….my favorite!
Wondering why the new season of the little couple has not started….it’s my favorite!
This was one of my very favorite shows. I told my friends about it. I have been looking for the show to come back. Jen and Bill went around the world to find their children. They love and appreciate Will and Zoey. They are positive roll models for all to see. They have introduced their children to a variety of colorful learning experiences which help to build confidence and enrich their lives. This is not just any children’s show. The episodes are interesting and entertaining. Will and Zoey are so personable and so cute that you learn to love them… Read more »
I love this show!! One of the best. I am a big fan of most TLC shows and this is certainly one of my favorites. Both Bill and Jen are special people and Will and Zoe are a delight. Please do not cancel this show. It’s a delight.
The Little Couple is one of my favorite shows. They are two of the strongest people and have done such a wonderful job of raising their two little children. Overcoming such hard life obstacles and doing it with strength and love. I admire them and do not want their show cancelled!! I want to continue to see them and share their life with them!!
I would most definitely DO NOT want The Little Couple cancelled. It is one of the best shows on TLC compared to the endless series regarding the Duggar family. I am sick to death of that family and now the series about their kids.
My son has dwarfism and he and I love the show! Please continue to put these excellent role models on TV.
My son has dwarfism and he (and the rest of the family) is a big fan. Please continue to put these extraordinary role models on TV.
I’m a big fan of The Little Couple show and hope to see it return soon!!
