Social media campaigns like #canceltheduggars seem to be working: [Several more advertisers](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/26/19-kids-counting-josh-duggar-advertising) have yanked their sponsorship of TLC’s _19 Kids and Counting_ in light of the sexual molestation allegations [involving Josh Duggar](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/21/people-duggar-family-speaks-after-josh-duggar-accused-molestation).

Companies like [Choice Hotels](https://twitter.com/ChoiceHotels/status/603256677056446465) and Pure Life Iced Tea followed [Walmart](https://www.facebook.com/Walgreens/posts/10153041398313611?comment%5Fid=10153042297823611&reply%5Fcomment%5Fid=10153042683363611&total%5Fcomments=7&comment%5Ftracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D), CVS Pharmacy and [Payless Shoe Source ](https://twitter.com/PaylessInsider/status/603232283047424000)by assuring the public it wouldn’t advertise in the TLC show about the Duggar family. “Thank you for contacting us to share your concerns,” wrote [Pure Life on Wednesday](https://twitter.com/PureLeaf/status/603574719770669057). “Please know that we will no longer be advertising on 19 Kids and Counting.” [David’s Bridal ](https://twitter.com/davidsbridal/status/603587239789121537)said it would “take steps to have our ads removed from future episodes” while H&R Block reportedly said in a statement that it “will not advertise on the show if it is reinstated.”

Other than announcing its [decision to yank reruns](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/22/tlc-yanks-19-kids-and-counting), TLC hasn’t issued any more statements about the fate of _19 Kids and Counting,_ which follows Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their 19 children. Then again, the network could just be busy working on a plan to salvage the veteran franchise: [_People_ is reporting](http://www.people.com/article/19-kids-counting-spin-off-tlc-jessa-seewald-jill-dillard-duggar-family) that TLC could be looking into the possibility of a spinoff that focuses on newlyweds Jill and Derick Dillard and Jessa and Ben Seewald.

“The show had begun to focus more and more on the next generation of Duggars, anyway – mainly Jill and Jessa and their marriages and babies,” a source told _People_. “That’s when the show got its highest ratings.”

_19 Kids and Counting_ is TLC’s most successful franchise. The series, which began in 2008, just completed its 10th season.
