Their television show aired from 2008-2015, and they produced two more children in the process. This ultimately changed the name of the series from 17 to 19 Kids and Counting.
Life after 19 Kids
During the filming of the series, Duggar and his wife wrote two books together: The Duggars: 20 and Counting! (2008) and A Love That Multiplies (2011). After the 2015 finale of their series, a spin-off series of their daughter's lives - Jessa, Jinger, Joy-Anna - launched that same year on TLC, called Counting On. Duggar has also still been politically active in his Republican community, most recently endorsing candidate Rick Santorum for president. Outside of politics, the Duggar family still enjoy making public appearances on various talk shows.
Michelle and Jim Bob are known to be extremely conservative when it comes to their parenting style. They've been notoriously known to dress their kids in an orthodox style, as well as not allowing them to dance, all to avoid promiscuity.
