As we reported earlier, Discovery is being sued by production company LMNO over alleged criminal conspiracy. As a result, the network has terminated several shows, including Unusual Suspects, Killer Confessions, Hollywood & Crime, The Coroner: I Speak for the Dead, and the TLC series 7 Little Johnstons, reports Deadline.
Discovery has also put out a termination notice for the popular TLC series The Little Couple.
Though the Investigation Discovery and TLC series are over for now, ID insists the first season of The Coroner: I Speak for the Dead will still premiere on July 18th as scheduled.
What do you think? Do you watch any of these Discovery series? Are you sad they may be over for good?
Why do you cancel shows like The Little Couple, 7 Little Johnsons and Our Little Family? These are shows that we can watch with our children that show just because you are made different that you are the same inside and if you really want to do certain things you can if you put every effort to do it. Why do you have to take family oriented shows and put shows on that have cursing, sex and unmoral acts that does not set good examples for our children? Is that what all the TV shows are going to now? TLC… Read more »
I agree!
Please do not cancel The Coroner. It is an awesome show.
No need to fret, Linda. In case you haven’t already heard, despite the initial cancellation, The Coroner: I Speak for the Dead is back from the dead. Two months ago, ID officially renewed the series for a second season. Ten new episodes are slated to air this summer.

I can’t believe that they are cancelling all of these shows because of litigation! That is bulls**t! I liked The Coroner: I Speak for the Dead! That was an interesting show! Also, my wife is devastated that they’re cancelling The Little Couple! She loves that show! I just hope that they get this over with and return these shows back to Discovery with a new beginning!
Nooooooo!! Say it isn’t so!! I’ve so been looking forward to season 3 of 7 Little Johnstons and this news totally bums me out! Please, please once the lawsuit issue is settled, bring them back! Hilarious, heart warming family. I’m watching reruns now and love the show as much as I did the first time I watched it. The Little Couple are great also! Love their babies!
Finally, there are television shows that educate and bring awareness to lives and issues that keep our diverse culture not so set apart. The 7 Johnstons and the Little Couple provided insight into the world of “LP” How disenchanted I am with this TV station and its decision. I have decided to not be one of its viewers. I learned so much without being subjected to profanity, betrayal and lies. I enjoyed watching them solve real life issues.
I’m soo disappointed that TLC has,cancelled The Little Couple. They are, by far, my favorite show on this network. Their views of life which they so generously shared with us viewers has changed my ideas about dwarfism forever. I know now that although they have some physical limitations, there is nothing they can’t achieve. Where there’s a will there’s a way. They are such a warm, intelligent, likeable, funny and loving couple and I will miss them greatly.
TLC really needs to ax several other shows. A couple of years ago it was my go to channel. The garbage that is being put on now is atrocious and I probably only watch two or three times a week. You really have to wonder where or if some of those reality “stars” were educated. Is it that the computers are doing the schoolwork for them or are our schools just not teaching?
I am ready to subscribe to Hulu and Netflix and drop cable . Sick of my favorite shows being cancelled like the 7 Little Johnstons and the Little Couple . Plus other shows on the 3 main networks or used to be anyway. How many more tv viewers you guys wanna lose ?
Please keep 7 little johnstons! It is one of the few shows my husband & I both like watching!
I love the 7 little johnstons! Please bring them back!
I love little couple and 7 little johnstons please change you minds and keep these two shows on the air.
I agree with you
Little Johnston’s much better then Little People,Duck Dynesty, the Amish or Alaska bush
I do not understand why Discovery keeps a show like Alaskan Bush People on claiming it as a documentary, when it is all over the internet that it is totally fake, they have indulged in criminal actions against the very state they are claiming to live in the Bush in. If Discovery continues to show this type of fake show along with the Mermaid and Snake stuff they might as well merge with the Syfy Channel.
I’m fine with The Coroner being cancelled. First episode bored me. Unusual Suspects though I did like but I think there are enough real crime shows out there to cover for this one going away.
How the hell do you cancel a show that hasn’t even premiered. I’m looking forward to watching The Coroner. Please work things out with LMNO to keep these great shows on the air!
Also, just a quick idea. Consider doing a show with Patricia Cornwell. I think it would be wildly popular as well as providing an awesome show for the viewers.
