“Do you want to continue to watch the Duggars on TLC? Do you have suggestions for making the show more attractive to viewers?” Lily and Ellie wrote. “We enjoy hearing your feedback, and we encourage you to share it with TLC, as well. We have encouraged this in the past, and the network has heard your voices.”
