Derick's future on Counting On
We have learned that TLC has decided not to allow Derick on Counting On. From what we have been told that Derick hasn't been on the show for months now.

Thanks for leaving your comments! We answer as many of your questions as we can, but due to the number of comments we receive daily, we are unable to answer every one. Our aim is to post all points of view, but we do not post anything that is profane, insulting, derogatory, or in poor taste.
I have been a fan of 19 kids and counting since the beginning and I find it sad that the network stopped shooting it due to Josh's problems. I think it would have been better to have kept it on the air to show that all families go through problems and it would have been nice to see how they deal with different issues.
ReplyDeleteNow Derrick is allowed on the show, it seems as soon as someone does something not in their norm they get booted. My viEwing days are over.
Counting On is a great spinoff but without Josh.
DeleteI so agree 100% everyone has some kind of problem no one is perfect
DeleteThat's dumb
Deletethe reason is because they covered it up and got him no help.AND this is what you want them to show the world ? that its ok to molest as long as its covered up? hope they never put that family on again I like counting on ,the newer weddings are more of the real world.
DeleteTechnically Josh's issues were handled by his parents on how they saw felt. TLC handed it with the fact that the network was loosing viewers.
DeleteDo they expect anything else from a religious family??? The show was way more interesting when they showed how they make things work for a big family instead of showing how much money they are getting from the show... and all the drama... sorry but drama and scandals happen in every family get over it people.
DeleteI wonder why though whatever the reason not allowing him on the show is wrong look at Josh and his behavior unless he murdered someone or did something highly illegal he should stay on this show
ReplyDeleteI also think Josh should stay on the show and Derrick. They are a real family and this is life
ReplyDeleteI think they should have a show called Josh and Derrick, both interview people on a talk show about being christian, and stumble and fall, but get back up again, that would be great. Give God Glory the G G G see how many fans will watch, I would.
DeleteI don't think that Derick in any way "stumbled and fell" ! He just expressed his opinion, which can be an opinion of many people who find transitioning of people weird, but just Derick was associated with a TLC show, so his opinion mattered. Maybe people don't approve of transgender phenomenon. And how can you? God creates you in one way, so why change the God's work??
DeleteEveryone has freedom of speech unless you work for TLC. He had every right to express how he felt about Jazz Jennings. Most people agree with him. I believe he is correct. The CHILD never went through puberty and now doesn't have enough there for her final surgery. Most people agree with Derick. Stupid move by TLC. What he said was kind and to compare it to Josh's sins is WAY OUT OF BOUNDS. What Josh did was a million times worse.
DeleteI think everyone has a right to their own opinions, and can express the way they want, if jazz does not feel bad about the way he lives his life and not bothered going on TV for the world to see. Then what one person says should not bother him/her, she knew what she was getting into and knew there would be comments from people for or against.. It comes with the territory, Derrick shouldn't be punished for voicing his opinion.. Freedom of speech and press. If she doesn't like the negative opinions along with the ok opinions then she shouldn't be on TV for the world to see.. You have to except the bad with the good.. That's life. She needs to grow up and get past it
ReplyDeleteWhy?
ReplyDeleteHe criticized TLC, so this is not surprising.
ReplyDeleteHe voiced his opinions on something that was important to it. TLC is violating his freedom of speech rights
Deletewow .... Derick has the right to speak what he believe in.. Jazz is confusing young person. she or he doesnt know who she or he is... I dont like Transgenders people at all. its too way too much confusion.. I dont appreciate it... I rather to see Derick back on the show period. He is a husband of Jill. please respect Jill s wishes and Bring Josh back.. his past is over.. you cant bring the past front of you. thats wont work ! remove Jazz s show and Whitney Way Thore show.. too much LBGT exposes .. its not healthy for any viewers...
DeleteNot healthy?? Would it surprise you to know I am a woman married to a woman, we both work full time and raise together my 5 children. My children all thrive in academics as well as extra curricular activities. We as a family are surrounded by numerous friends and family who support us for who we are. A strong family unit. I do agree all people are entitled to their opinions, but what right is it of you to say that Jazz is a confusing person? It sounds to me she knows exactly who she is. You are ok with bringing Josh back knowing his past which is filled with lies and infidelity but not ok to too much LBGT exposure, so its healthy for people to watch a reality show where people are forgiven for their mistakes, but not healthy to watch a reality show about someone who is proud of who they are?
DeleteThank you, Anomyous!
DeletePlease move your shows to a Christian friendly network. TLC is censoring you while allowing all sorts of morally degenerative programs. I can no longer support that channel.
ReplyDeleteagreed
DeleteI thinking uptv because that network is more toward god and faith
DeleteAgree - no reason to watch if you are going to boot people for being human and stumbling. We all fall short, even the Duggars, but it is nice to see a family come together and support/guide one another. Not sitting in judgement of Josh, Derrick or any of the other family but I will judge the actions of the shows producers - you are the ones who are attempting to portray this family as perfect. I am glad they are not!!
ReplyDeleteWhy? What happened?
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that this show about these awesome people and their lives needs to be edited to fit a certain lifestyle. Let's not act like everybody is perfect. I'm sure to an extent it bothers jill. If it's going to be a family show bring it on. Good and bad.
ReplyDeleteI admire Derick for standing by his convictions. I will continue to watch Counting On as long as it is on the air. There are very few decent programs on the air. I would love to see both Josh and Derick on the program. Jazz needs to be taken off. I have never watched it and never will. Transgenderism and homosexuality is against God's word.
ReplyDeleteSo it's against God's worx to be who you are if that means you are gay but its forgivable to moleste 5 girls?
DeleteMakes perfect sense.

Deletewhat happen with Josh happen when he was a teenager. also what happen with Derick is totally different. The network is violating the rights of him by voicing his opinion.
Being who you are, is being what God created you to be. Not what the world tells you is OK. Be in the world, but not of it. Resist the devil, and he must flee from you. A friend of the world, is enmity to God. God detests the wicked, but hears the prayers of the righteous. Renew your minds daily, in the Holy Spirit, so you continue to put your flesh to death, and follow the ways of the Lord. If you are ashamed of me in front of people, I will be ashamed of you in front of my father. There will be a time, when they will call evil good, and good evil.
DeleteRegardless of what the world thinks of me, or any other Christ follower, for saying the truth of the gospel, we are commanded to stand firm on it. I'm standing with you duggers. We may stumble, but we must fall so we know what it is to stand. If God is for you, who can be against you. Prayers for you guys.
They arent violating his freedon of speed at all. He can still spout anything he likes.. he just wont be filmed anymore. Which is the networks right and freedom to do.
Delete@Unknown;
DeleteThe only thing that the network had to do is say that they don't share his beliefs but firing him is totally grounds on the first amendment because he tweeted his opinion about transgenders shows that was not even targeted to Jazz himself. I really hope that TLC will think about this.
Ok so why did they decide not to let him film?
ReplyDeletecause derick said something on twitter and it was towards another tlc show I'm not going to say what
DeleteI agree that it would have been nice if Josh had been kept on the show. However, he would have needed to be open and honest about his problems. I don't think that the Duggars were prepared to be that open..
ReplyDeleteWhy is this not surprising. No one has a right to voice their opinion on another show in a negative way or you are kicked off your own show..Maybe we should do less reality show's that show trash and more learning show's like when TLC first came out. Today show mostly show's that are in the tabloids. There are a few shows on I like but you keep getting rid of them and putting trash show's on. I am sure it did not really bother Derrick that he is not allowed on Counting On anymore. He has the best manager in his life. His name is god.
ReplyDeleteDerrick will mind if the Counting On money train ends.
DeleteNot everything is about the money. He has a job outside of this show. The family has lives outside what you see on the tv and there for you cast judgement. I feel sorry for you big kite!
DeleteIts not his show.. its his wifes show. So they have every right to not film him
DeleteSo it's not coming back on TV
ReplyDeletewe don't know that for sure , but right now we know that derick is on coming back
DeleteThe network has only said that Derick won't be back
DeleteI have NO idea about what Derrick may have done, or not done...I have stopped watching the show but I read the blog and continue to support the family in prayer. I grew tired a long time ago of the public thinking the family was supposed to be 'perfect' when in reality they are ideal and have great values that have fallen for most americans. Too bad people, Christians are not perfect they are forgiven. I hope the family does well in spite of it all. Let the love the family shares prevail. Let the love of GOD be strong and carry them all through the public opinions. Bless you all. God is bigger than what anyone thinks.
ReplyDeleteI think it's wrong to remove a person from TV if he expresses his own views that contradict the view of the network. Derick was expressing his own opinions, and he has a right on those. He has his belief that God created men and women, and the way a person is born is the way the person should be. What is wrong with that?? My guess is that the other show is making TLC a lot of money, and they just want to keep that show going.
ReplyDeleteThe network also has a right to say who they will and will not film.
DeleteWhat has he done to be banned from the show?
ReplyDeletehe said something on twitter and it was towards another show
DeleteBut we see worse in our govt and we can't get them out of congress....
ReplyDeleteWell, what did he do that was so bad??
ReplyDeletehe said something on twitter and it was towards another show
DeleteNothing. Not even remotely bad.
DeleteWe're no longer allowed to have freedom of speech. Censored to protect the others practice of sin. If you don't like what's being said, change the channel and wait for your show to turn it back on. This is ridiculous. TLC I'm thoroughly disappointed with you.
ReplyDeleteI agreed !
DeleteBull.. he can still say and do whatever he likes on twitter or any other medium. TLC just wont be filming it anymore. Which istheir rights as a network to do so.
Delete@Miss Emai,
DeleteThey fired him for saying what he said. They posted that they don't share the same views as Derick and that is where they should have left. They went to far.
Move to Up! With your friends the Bates and forget them
ReplyDeleteI feel best I the duggars leave tlc and go on the uptv channel cause uptv is more toward god and faith related families and tlc is just a boring network
ReplyDeleteI totally agreed !! Counting ON ! should be moved to UPtv .. everything that are odd , stranges and sickness belong to TLC..
DeleteDue to his views on another TLC show. This is why. He tweeted his views on the show about transgender.
ReplyDeleteAre we to believe, when a person(s) make a mistake just cast them out. What if you made a mistake? Should we cast you away. People are not perfect. I do not want people to think, when people make mistake just look the other way. This is NOT what I am saying. Once the person has been punished, do we still make them paid for their wrong FOREVER!! When enough will be enough. What about forgiving? What do we do when the person(s) have shown they are sorry and have changed their life for the better. I know, if I made mistakes and paid the price for the wrong, I would hope someone would forgive and forget. NO ONE IS PERFECT.
ReplyDeleteBRING DERICK BACK ON "COUNTING ON"
ReplyDeleteDerrick needs to get off his high horse and start acting as a true Christian, instead of a preachy " Christian".... he's been quite happy to take TLC's money, when he has no visible job, and seems to live quite well.....
ReplyDeleteOne of his instagram posts was a picture of his breakfast that he took to work.
