Let it go.....please make it stop.

People reported the two married Duggar girls are each going to have specials on TV towards the end of this year. Jill's special will be on her mission work and Jessa's special will be on the birth of her baby. Jessa said she felt cheated with the show taken off, not to have the coverage on her baby's birth like her sister did. Guess they miss that money too.

I will certainly NOT be watching and I hope no one else will either because that's the only way the networks will stop this travesty. These people really should go away. The TV powers-that-be need to dig deep into their shallow storehouse of ethics and just go away from this awful group of cultists.

I personally will voice my opinion thru not watching. As long as there's an audience, this family will remain in the public eye.

I've never even found these people/show while channel surfing.

But if I did, just like with sports, I'd turn it off before one vowel came out.

Do these people 'grace' the covers of magazines in the supermarkets? Cause I can't say I think I've ever seen one.

Did you actually hear them say that or are you believing what the networks and tabloids tell you? I learned long ago not to form an opinion on any subject in the news without knowing all of the facts. I do know this family has been dragged through the mud and THAT is what needs to stop. Only God knows their hearts or their intentions and no one else has a right to judge them.

Will TLC block the rest of the family out? (only show the 2 couples)

If a channel is willing to produce & air the stories of these two girls, it's a viable income for them. They always get ratings so it must be worth watching for many people.

I agree with OP-- Who cares?? I've had enough of reality shows: No-talent people looking for a quick buck off of their "15 minutes." And the networks love them b/c they're cheap to produce. I'll take a quality program with talented acting, like Blue Bloods or Law & Order: SVU, anytime over this drivel.

This came from People magazine and they are pretty reliable. We shall see, time will tell.

From what I understand they will. I won't be watching so I won't know.

I don't understand what on earth makes this family so fascinating? I have absolutely no interest in them and feel their 15 minutes of fame has stretched uncomfortably on too long as it is.....

It's going to make them look even more ignorant and backwards

I never watched the show and never will. And people should not watch the show now after what happened in that family.

Although some of you will not be watching, I feel certain that millions of others will be there to watch for you. The Duggers were very popular with many people and most of them will be anxious to see the sisters. How can you blame two young women for the sins of one very sick young man? None of us can really know what was in the hearts of the parents. Would you have been able to handle this situation to perfection, and have all your personal decisions been 100% correct? Might you want to protect your children?

I'm not a big fan of reality shows, so I think I might have watched the Dugger family for a total of about half an hour once. I thought the two girls involved were lovely and sweet. Of course they miss the money - wouldn't you? But I wonder if they don't miss the good feelings people had toward them before this story hit the fan. I've just never felt justified in casting the first stone or in condemning the child for the sins of the sibling/parents.

One of my Dad's best lessons to me was that when you point your finger at someone else there are three poointing back at you.

I think viewers watched it, because the very large family seemed so perfect.

If people watch they will keep coming back. It gets tiring to hear of this family. Enough is enough. They are not the perfect family as they portrayed themselves. It's money money. This family gave the viewers a fantasy tale of a perfect family life. So many fell for it.

That's one way but the best way is to learn what station/channel will be airing the shows and email them your opinion.

I really think those girls must be wacko to honestly want to be on a show and imagine the public wants to view them.
