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.

I have fallen in like with this wonderful family! In this day and age with so many trashy reality family shows they are a pleasure to watch. It is inspirational to see what they have overcome and made a huge success of themselves. Please continue showing up in my living room.
Please bring back the little couple. It’s one of the shows I really love. I feel like they are a part of my family. Its great to watch a reality program where there is no bad language and so much garbage they are real people a a great example to the world
It is an amazing experience to be allowed to watch, and interact with, the Little Couple. They are kind, smart, caring people; their children are happy, smart, and beautiful, because Jen and Bill are doing such a great job. After watching them for so many years, it is like being allowed to be a small part of their family. I always feel better about life, and humanity, after watching them. I know it is very invasive for them–but if they are willing to allow us into their living room in the future, I will be there. They inspire me with… Read more »

I have been a fan and would like to see them back. I am interested in following then again.I miss them. Please bring the show back.
I really like these shows, it shows the diversity of reality life. These are shows entire family can watch. The Learning Channel, just the type of shows that teach usceveryday experiences, withoug the violence of other type shows, sexual shows. Shows like…The Little Couple, 7 Little Johnstons, My Little Family, Little People Big World, are actually refreshing shows to watch, because we learn about the diversities in life and how to overcome them, no matter who, what size, where you are and all. Keep the learning in the shows you give thatmatch your channel title, TLC…”The Learning Channel”!
YES BIG FANS
My Husband and I are really BIG fans of The Little Couple and their 2 children.I pray they return soon to us and their other many fans…
The Little Couple is as much an educational program as it is a reality program. It has taught us so much about little people; the physical and social problems they have with being accepted by others, their drive to succeed and ability to overcome all obstacles, and the adaptations they make to live in a world of big people. It doesn’t hurt to know they are beautiful people and with personalities that shine. This is my one show never to miss. Please bring it back. Gloria
