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 really love the show, miss them all
I really hope they continue with the show. One of the only good shows they have. These shows with these really overweight people are degrading. Wouldn’t watch those if you paid me. There are several good shows you’ve taken off, please don’t take this one too. Why is it that all the crappy show are always left on and the good ones taken off . Always. Please, please put them back on.
Would like to see them back on
I have followed Jen and Bill from the first season and have always injoyed the fact that the show continued to come back. I hate the thought that this show is being used as a pawn in big corporate litigation. The ones you are hurting is the fams of the show. We pay our cable/ satellite bills so we can watch shows we want to see. It seems like the shows we could care less about are never up in the air when new contracts are being discussed. PLEASE LET US ENJOY THE LITTLE COUPLE.
We love the little couple Jen and her beauitful family they r great parents please put there show back on.❤❤
I hope The Little Couple comes back on. It’s a great family show and there aren’t a lot of them on tv.
It shows family values and love. Take off Kate Plus 8, those kids aren’t plesant to be around, nor is the mom with her comments. If it is on, I immediately go to another channel.
Totally love the little couple. There family is real. Best of all Will is such a ham, he always put a smile on my face. Please bring them back!!!!
We love all these shows. I love Discovery and this is disappointing, very much so. How would they like if the public extorted them and protested against them. Why is the public always punished for all your politics?
One of the most uplifting family shows on tv. It needs to come back’!!!! P L E A S E!!
My mom loved that show. She would love for it to be on again.
I love watching little couple it’s one of the last few shows that’s drama free when it comes to ” reality” tv.
Bring back the little couple, I love watching it, and have followed their story, and want to continue following their story……..
Please please please bring back The Little Couple. It is a great wholesome show with true values. My husband & I truly miss it.
Please renew “the little couple” show, our family looks forward to every season, keep it on the air, it’s a wonderful show.
