Sneezyone Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 It's appalling that TLC continues to foist this family on the viewing public. There's a clear majority, here and elsewhere, telling TLC to drop it already. NOTE: There's not a speck of "gossip" in that statement. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the need to gossip about people you truly don't know. I know you think you do, but you really don't. I'm sorry you feel that way, Luanne, but I honestly don't believe I was gossiping just because I posted a link to the story about the girls getting their own specials. I didn't even post an opinion about it. Who knows -- the info might be useful to people who would want to watch the shows, as well as to those who are against the idea of the Duggars being back on TV. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Ok, I am giggling because the first thing I though of was the Brady Brides spin off from the Brady Bunch. Will they be allowing the rest of the Duggars to be on the show at any time? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 OK, here's some actual gossip... I wouldn't mind the idea of the girls getting their own specials if I wasn't almost 100 percent sure that JimBob Duggar orchestrated the whole thing and will be making money off of it. If he and Michelle aren't involved, I would be more supportive of the idea, but it is hard to imagine that they aren't part of this. Ooh. Gossip and judgmentalism in the same post. I'm on a roll. ;) 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the need to gossip about people you truly don't know. I know you think you do, but you really don't. For the same reason people need to stop to watch train wrecks or news stories about disasters, or seek out threads where they can insert a random post to chastise people thinking they own the rights to moral superiority.

I'm on a roll. ;) Gossip, judgmentalism and some more snark alert: At least it is just "specials" and not their own series. Of course, TLC uses specials to test market for series viability, so if these are popular enough, then maybe they would have series of their own down the road. As for JB... you can bet that even if he does not appear, there will be profit kicked back in his direction. I'm equally sure he's attempted to orchestrate a Duggar return to a regular series and that these specials were the most he could manage to accomplish so far. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could definitely get a show about that! Jinger Goes to New York City. There could be that episode in which she wears pants. And one where she takes a job that puts her under male authority or where she, I don't know, sells bras. 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you apparently know them so well, I'm surprised you never mentioned that Josh is a child molesting adulterer back before it all came out. That seems like it would be relevant information to their uber religious fans. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be that episode in which she wears pants. And one where she takes a job that puts her under male authority or where she, I don't know, sells bras. that thought occurred to me too. not that I'd probably watch it, considering I never watched their series let alone any of the specials. the one I might watch is Anna escaping from them and learning to value herself for herself and that her value is equal to a man (and in joshes case MORE). and kicking joshes arse to the curb . . . . (and her parents for setting her up with this piece of scum and expecting her to say with him, and JB & M for covering up his crimes and misdemeanors.) We need a word for when you boycott something you wouldn't watch anyway. Because that's what I am doing. redundant boycott. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Good for them. Not everyone is interested in the Kardashian sisters or the Real Housewives of Wherever. Why should their own livelihood disappear because one of their brothers is a degenerate? IMO, it is because selling out your privacy should not be happening. I was against the girls getting their own shows before the Josh disgusting stuff came out. There have been reports that Jessa is sad that she will not have the venue to share the birth of her first baby the way Jill did. I think it's sad that this is what she's focused on in the wake of the close-down of 19 Kids.... I don't watch the Kardashians or Housewives or any of those shows. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm not really sure being on TV because you are the result of your parents' pregnancy fetish really counts as a 'livelihood'... they make money off of it that pays their bills and supports them in the lifestyle to which they have now become accustomed and with which they are loath to give up. while it is legal, most of us have too many scruples to sell ourselves (or especially our children) to the highest network bidder. hmm, isn't there a word for that? seems like it starts with a "p" . . . . . . not too much difference, except one is legal and the other isn't. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair, the vast majority of the population somehow manages to earn a living without having their own reality television show, but I do understand your point. If I thought JimBob wasn't involved and that this was something the girls could do in order to become financially independent from their parents, I would support them. I don't watch the Kardashians or the Real Housewives, either. I am not a fan of reality television, although for some bizarre and unexplainable reason, I have somehow managed to become addicted to "Texas Flip and Move." :blush: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that their parents will benefit, probably at the expense of their children, like they have for many years. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 You know, Luanne, nobody here was talking about the Duggars on this thread until your comment.

Entropymama Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Ok, I've been off the boards for several weeks so maybe I missed some stuff. I thought Jill and Jessa were married? So I'm confused as to how their dad gets their money (maybe their husbands do?). Also, shouldn't we support them getting their own show and making their own livelihood? It seems like a step up. I mean, I wouldn't choose to be on a reality show but maybe that's what they want for themselves. Plus, it would be supporting the victims of abuse. Maybe it's a platform for them to speak out. Maybe this is could be a pro-woman, make the girls the spotlight and leave out the brother and dad thing. Or maybe I'm naive. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcmommy Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Maybe they can discuss Jill's missionary funds. Or the fact that they are "converting" people who already happen to be christians.

happi duck Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 A show about any duggar is bound to have appearances by the parents and siblings. I think anyone on camera makes money.

Why the need to gossip about people you truly don't know. I know you think you do, but you really don't. I think it is because they are paid to have themselves filmed and the moments of their lives sold. Now if I had 23 kids to feed, I'm not saying I'd do differently. But talking about a tv show is not gossip in the sense that it's not behind anybody's back. They are paid to be watched and talked about. It's... Idle chatter? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
