BONUS: 19 Kids and Counting – Reality show (2008 – 2015)

The Dugger family is the TV’s most conservative family. Parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar set some crazy strict rules for their children. They aren’t allowed to date, so instead, they “court” (which includes no kissing until marriage and constant supervision).
However, the Duggars’ dating rules aren’t all that make us cringe. They’ve had a seriously scandalous history, such as the family’s anti-LGBT stance, scamming their fans, and Josh’s molestation scandal that got their show canceled.
