Been on the air way too long anyway. Now if only they’d get rid of all the Kardashians from TV and social media.

The Bates are the reason the Duggers were cancelled. Reality television replaced found its replacement for the Duggers.

I haven’t watched the show. Can you explain a bit about the “toxic” part of it.

Do they accent the negative time and again?

Good. Fecundity is not a talent.

Why did a supposedly Christian family agree to do a show whose explicit purpose was to make fun of Christians?

TLC and the Duggar family have decided to not move forward with '19 Kids and Counting,'" the channel told The Associated Press. "The show will no longer appear on the air."

Finally.

For a family who shuns the cultural rot and general negative influences of TV and internet, they sure developed a dependency upon and lifestyle around it.

What day on the net goes by without seeing some random sidebar image of one of the daughters with a latest pregnancy update? Is public attention and social media all they know and live for? It sure seems... unhealthy.

What’s toxic about a Godly family raising their kids right? Unless your a homo?.?.

Is this the same network which has a show, “I am Jazz.” It is about a transgendered girl. Well, he was a boy who changed to a girl. Or the other way around. I tune out when the ads come on.

Read all the way down to the part about Bill Gothard. Will we will hear from the Bates that they never had, nor wanted anything to do with Bill Gothard?

And Kelly Bates deleted the pictures that would associate her and her family with Bill Gothard as the link in post #1 talks about? Surely not! /s

Why anyone ever wanted to watch this I’ll never know. All of this realityTV sucks. Garbage voyeurism that is cheap to make so networks keep cranking it out due to the shallowness of the American public.

We are realityTV nation now. We have the Kim Kardashian presidency and sadly, on our side, a clownish realityTV star leads the pack - at least till his campaign implodes and we forget all about him the way we did Herman Cain.

Who in the heck watches these sicko television shows? People with no life and no brain is my guess.
