"19 Kids and Counting" was a reality show following the Duggar family that aired on TLC from 2008 to 2015.

The network canceled the show after it was revealed that Josh Duggar, the eldest Duggar child, was accused of sexually molesting five young girls, including his sisters, when he was a teen.

A spinoff of the show, "Counting On," aired 11 seasons between 2015 and 2020. TLC canceled the spinoff show in 2021 after Josh Duggar was convicted on child pornography charges and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
