'19 Kids And Counting' – Maybe Including Josh Duggar – To Return To TLC

TV reality show featuring Christian extremists is filming a reboot after son's teenaged sex scandal, marital infidelities drove family off the air.

The only thing America's Christian extremists love more than a devout Christian conservative is one who has fallen from grace but claims to have been forgiven by God.

Six months ago TLC canceled "19 Kids and Counting" after realizing eldest son Josh Duggar's admission of sexually abusing several young girls when he was a teen, including some of his own sisters, was just too toxic for the show to continue. His later admission of being "addicted" to pornography and having affairs seemed to seal the decision permanently. Duggar also was forced to quit his job at the anti-gay hate group, Family Research Council Action where he served as its executive director despite having little previous work experience, sans a job at the family's used car lot.

It was also revealed that Duggar had two paid accounts at AshleyMadison, the extramarital dating site, and was accused of hiring prostitutes and having rough sex with them.

Not exactly a "family show" by the religious right's standards.

But now TLC is bringing "19 Kids And Counting" back.

"Fans of the TLC series '19 Kids and Counting' will be happy to know that the series will be back for another run," the Christian Post reports.

American Family Association's former spokesperson and present-day radio host, the virulently anti-gay Bryan Fischer, tweeted the news:

"The Duggar family, without a doubt, is filming a new television series, which is being heralded as a 19 Kids And Counting reboot," the Inquisitr notes, citing the "unmitigated success of Jill & Jessa: Counting On, a mini-series that followed Jill and Jessa Duggar in the aftermath of the Josh Duggar scandals."

"Josh Duggar might be returning to television as TLC gears up for a new reality series about the Duggar family — this time, the series is rumored to follow Jana Duggar," the Inquisitr adds. "At the age of 26, Jana is a bit behind her younger siblings in the marriage and babies department, and the series is said to focus on the singleton’s dating (ahem, courtship) and love life."

The religious right may be pleased, but not everyone is thrilled.

"It’s apparent that TLC is uninterested in the Duggar family’s vicious crusade of lies against LGBT Americans," blogger Joe.My.God. observes.

This is fucking gross.

[Cicero]

I knew they weren't done. TLC makes too much money there to cut ties. I wish I was surprised, but I'm not.

[atlas]

Fuck TLC for this bullshit.

[closertofine]

Shocking.

[blink]

Gross.

[pixy0stix]

Oh TLC, never change.

[josieposy]

It's only been like 6 months. America totally forgot about of that stuff right?

[StrawberryBlondie]

I wish this surprised me.

[jln]

This is gross, TLC. And even worse that so many so-called Christians will be pleased with this.

[7costanza]

So gross, but not at all surprising.

[lilibet]

This is gross.

Also Jana is "behind" her younger siblings because she's not married and doesn't have babies at 26? What the hell. I hate this family.

[josieposy]

Wouldn't this piss off a ton of advertisers? I mean they have to know they're going to get a lot of shit as well.

[sushi]

Ewwww. Yet I love the little couple. How can they be on the same channel?

[emilyj]

What the ever loving fuck???

Ban everyone from this country who watches this.

[ESF]

Ewwwwwww.

[pugz]

I don't understand how they can make money off of this as they have ZERO advertisers anymore, unless they wooed some of them back. During the Jill and Jessa Counting On specials the only "commercials" were ads for other TLC shows.

Jim Bob did not appear in the 3 specials but Michelle did appear briefly in the one where Jessa gave birth since she was present and made the 911 call when she started hemorrhaging after the birth.

[pugz]

since I can't edit

I didn't watch the specials but follow a FB page that posts Duggar gossip where I read the recaps

[redheadk]

GROSS enough that TLC will have them back and that they want to come back but the only subject matter about Jana? I just can't with this. That poor girl, in so many ways.

[KB]

I wonder if he let TLC follow him in "rehab"

[badgergrl]

That is disgusting. I think free jinger keeps a list of sponsors. I will be boycotting them. I can't with this. Fuck TLC.

Exactly. The reasons she is not yet married are entirely her own (and, FYI, it's completely normative not to be married at her age!) and not up for public consumption or evaluation. 

[bimbi284]

Ugh

[turboteal]

Gross. Odd coincidence, I saw Jim Bob and Michelle today at the airport in Houston. My husband called it the worst kind of celebrity sighting.
