africandreaming We first heard about the Duggar family when they were on the news with their family. When the TV show came out we were happy and watched it from day one and now watch it today with the older kids who have their own show of Counting on. By watching the family and their faith, they have brought my family (and thousand's of others) back to the Lord our father. Their love of the Lord and the way they have raised their children to be so Godly, polite, lovely, giving people has been a huge example for heaps and they should be very proud. Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar have done an exceptional job of raising their 19 children, and we have been there with the birth of more children, and cried with them as they lost some. The show would have gone on forever had some disgustingly jealous woman trash in their state did't bring up news of the oldest child ad something he did as a very young teenager. TLC then lost millions of fans by stopping the show ad to prove they did, they then back tracked and made a show about the oldest children- portraying that it was Michelle and Jim bob who did something wrong which they DIDN'T. Now we get to see the Duggar children enter courtships and get married in a show called Counting on which is fantastic.

exportgeek The series is extremely bland. The "excitement" of watching someone grocery shop or make a cake doesn't grow just because 23 people are stuffed into one house. An older sister took three younger kids to the store and they bought flour or something. That's ten minutes of the show.I admit that I only watched maybe one and a half episodes because I was home sick. The other "excitement" in the episode was the parents making out in front of their daughter. They were on a double date with her "suitor." This was done, according to Michelle Duggar, in an effort to get her to consider marrying a 19 year old stranger. The "date" was at a miniature golf range. I think watching my parents play tonsil hockey would make me want to avoid intimacy. I'm not telling what happens after that, you'll have to watch. I can't keep up with all the "J" names, either, they all sort of blur together. Which one is "Jessa" and which one is "Jinger?" I'm also not sure it matters, since the activity the other one is doing will be folding laundry or making beds. I can watch that sort of thing in my own home.

VUPbrarian This is a great, loving and caring, stable family! The Duggars and the Kellers are great people and this show is so productive with so many values and stable relationships! I love that the daughters are being responsible for their ages and taking care of their younger siblings! The parents are also smart, educated, and professional people who are open-minded and raising/bringing more open-minded, intelligent children into this world! If I could give this show 20 stars, I would!!! Definitely recommend anyone gives this a shot and sees how stable this family is and intelligent, and show as a whole!!! The Kellers here have a normal, brilliant relationship, and they are all there! None are missing! The Duggars are also hardworking, and this show hopefully gets renewed and shows the progression as the kids grow up. The boys are so active and have a great, physical and determinate lifestyle, and the girls, older as they are, are responsible and definitely to be well-revered adults and elders. To put it short, great show and great, normal family unit and values!

mary-ivancic I recently tuned in accidentally to this show, so I watched the episode.I thought that this was about a couple who adopted some children, but I was wrong.I totally disagree with having that many children in this day and age and feel that the parents are very selfish, and the children will suffer in the long run.Many years ago, there was no birth control and families were big in order to work on the farm, but even then, the number children seldom reached 19-20.I feel that the Duggars are trying to spread their faith via this show, and although I believe in free speech, I think that the show is disgusting. The behavior of parents in front of their children is very sexually provocative. I believe that they are taunting their children, while telling them to not even hold hands and/or kiss until they are married. I will not be viewing this show in the future and hope that TLC will cancel it very soon.
