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 would hate to see this show cancelled. A family that loves and supports one another, makes a difference in their community, supports adoption, has walked through it’s share of trouble and has remained rock solid… I would much rather spend my time watching the Little Couple than a show about 2 strangers kissing (Dumbest concept ever.).
pleas don’t take them off the air , so hard to find a family show now a days , everything is violent and dirty language , so pleas keep them on
Please do not cancel Little Couple. It is the only “reality” show that we watch. I love these people like family. They are warm and inspiring and bring such joy to all their viewers!
Please, please DO NOT cancel this show. This is the BEST show on TV, and you’d be losing a lot of fans, and very disappointed ones at that! #KEEPthelittlecouple!
Please do not cancel the show. I love the show and will miss it greatly.

If they cancel this show …I want watch anything on this channel…Some of the new shows they have on are awful. This show is so refreshing to see a family which has so much love. TLC will lose out by cancelling this show and putting all the other junk on TLC.
I will never watch TLC again if the Little Couple gets cancelled, I will also let all my personal and all my Facebook friends and family to boycott TLC. Semms like if a respectful nice clean program is liked by millions of people it’s not good enough for you. In your eyes, the trashed the better.
Do not cancel this show. It is refreshing to see a family which has so much love. Bill and Jen are such wonderful parents.
Why would you cancel a good family show and replace it with trash? TLC will be making a grave mistake in cancelling. Someone pick this show up!!
Is TLC cancelling The Little Couple if so I will have to find another channel to watch, because tlc is cancelling great shows to put crap on. I don’t want to watch some stupid shows like married at first sight, love at first kiss and all the crap shows like that. TLC is killing their ratings and it’s their lose. Please leave The Little Couple on so we have at least a couple of shows to watch.
Does it sound too old fashioned to call this show pure and simple and classy? I am so tired of trashy, low class shows. The Little Couple is by far, a cut above the rest. I hope this gets resolved. Love this show.
I been waiting for the return of The Little Couple I hope this show is not cancelled.
The Little Couple is my all time favorite show. I can hardly wait for new seasons to air! I don’t know what or why this is happening but it is rediculous to cancel shows that have such a good following and good ratings. I’ll stop watching both channels if this show is cancelled
I am assuming that TLC now stands for Trash Learning Channel. Your lineup of shows takes filming to the lowest level. I watched the Duggars, and the Little Couple. I guess I won’t be watching the Trash Learning Channel.
I love this family show…please don’t remove it from listings…they are a good honest family.
