18 Kids and Counting [Tuesdays at 9pm on TLC]
It's official: The Duggars are a true pop culture phenomenon. With their regular appearances on national talk shows, their countless press clippings and their enormous online following, this 19-member family from Arkansas has all of America talking. However, while millions of people know of the Duggars, few are familiar with the individual personalities and unique experiences that make the family who they are. Audiences will get the definitive view into this one-of-a-kind world on Monday, September 29, at 10 and 10:30 PM (ET/PT) when TLC presents the all-new series, 17 KIDS AND COUNTING. The patriarch and matriarch of this large—and still growing—group are former high school sweethearts, Jim Bob and Michelle. With values rooted in their strong personal faith, Jim Bob and Michelle firmly believe that every child is a gift to be cherished. After more than 20 years of marriage, the couple has received 17 gifts—ten boys, seven girls—with number 18 on the way. With only two sets of twins among the 17 children, Michelle has been pregnant for nearly 12 years of her life. Another vital piece of Duggar trivia is that each child’s name begins with a “J”—Joshua, Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jeremiah, Jedidiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah and baby Jennifer. The Duggar Family has had 4 previous specials airing on TLC and Discovery Health: "14 Children & Pregnant Again", "Raising 16 Children", "On the road with 16 Children", & "The Duggar Family Album."

Joshua Duggar, the oldest at 20, married Anna Keller on 9/26/08 - so it was just a few days ago. They got engaged in June.
...I just found that out when I was gathering stuff for this OP. I thought I'd share. I love this family & have watched every special of theirs every time it's on. I'm very excited for this series and will definitely be watching tonight. __________________

Did you watch it? I did last night and I'm so glad, it's a really great & cute show. There were two episodes on last night both centering around them in NY.
I really love how involved (obv.) and ...kiddish the parents seem - especially Jim Bob. It's so cute. __________________

I watched part of it.
I love how they are still so excited about announcing their 18th pregnancy. It's refreshing! __________________

I'm not going to lie, I thought like that too for a little bit. Like after the first special I saw of them I believe. I'm made at myself now for thinking like that since I can really see that they are just genuinely sweet people. They may dress differently then me & have different values but they're good people. I really hate how I used to think of them.

I had preconceived ideas of them, and thought that they were weird churchy Amish like people. I guess I was really wrong.

Did anybody watch this last night? I was kinda surprised at some of the things we saw. Like the fact that Josh & Anna never kissed before their wedding day and how all the kids are planning on doing that. I give them a ton of credit, I didn't think people did that anymore honestly. I was pretty surprised when I saw that.
I also felt really awkward watching the episodes. I don't even know if I could explain it. It just felt awkward, like they were so awkward. But I have issues watching stuff like that sometimes so it's probably me. LOL. __________________

I can't believe Joshua and Anna never kissed because they are saving it for their wedding day. I know I couldn't survive without kissing. I don't think I would want to spend the rest of my life with someone who devours my face while he kisses me. It's an important thing __________________
