7 Little Johnstons, Killer Confessions & More Discovery Shows Cancelled Amid Legal Dispute
As LMNO fights over The Little Couple, and as Discovery has canceled contracts for many other shows including Killer Confessions, Speaking for the Dead, and Hollywood & Crime, Discovery is formally contending in court that its production partner “routinely and intentionally overstated the actual costs of production by more than 30%,” which in some instances, meant that it was “deprived of profit participation.”
Discovery adds that it paid LMNO over $64 million to produce the various television shows at issue. It is now asserting causes of action including that LMNO breached contracts, failed to keep fair and accurate books, committed fraud, infringed trademarks and committed unfair competition. Discovery is seeking a declaratory judgment that it now “owns all rights” to any episodes and seasons for which LMNO failed to finance its portion of production budgets. The counterclaimant is also seeking monetary damages.

Bring Back the little couple , best show on tv. There are shows that are just too hard to watch that they seem to leave on ,yet they take off a good show. Don’t understand logic.

I have never gone so far as to research, WHY one of my FAVORITE SHOWS was cancelled, However, THE LITTLE COUPLE was so uplifting and it was a show I could actually watch with my Grandsons!
Seeing the way they dealt with obstacles in their life, was an inspiration! Jennifer never lost that beautiful and contagious smile! And Bills Love and support touched all our hearts! Not to mention, Will and Zoey stealing our hearts! It was amazing to see how well the children adapted to their wonderful new family!
Even though I’m a grandmother, They have taught me so much about raising children, with such Patience and dedication! Regardless of their personal struggles, they always put each other and the children first! Please bring them back!!!

Beth says
Will you please bring back the Little Couple! It’s one the few shows that I can watch on TLC that’ I can feel good about watching and that doesn’t contain swearing and content not suitable for all viewers. Will and Zoey are adorable and I would love to see what they look like now, as well as what they are up to. Bill and Jennifer are truly a loving couple, and that’s very refreshing today.
My whole family loves the show, so PLEASE BRING THE LITTLE COUPLE BACK!!!
