The Duggars first rose to fame with their reality show 19 Kids and Counting. The TLC network canceled the show after the eldest son made headlines for molesting younger girls, including his sisters.

Following the cancelation, the Duggar girls became the stars of their own spin-off show, Counting On, which will return to TLC on July 30.
