Law & Order: SVU To Take On The Duggars

And just when Tony Perkins thought the scandal had finally died down. E Online reports:

It’s finally happening: Law & Order: SVU is putting its spin on the Duggar family of 19 Kids and Counting and the controversy that has surrounded the reality TV stars—and there are twists galore. In “Patrimonial Burden,” the Wednesday, Nov. 4, episode of the long-running NBC drama, the squad investigates a famous reality TV family after it’s discovered the 13-year-old daughter is pregnant. Naturally, there’s a web of secrets at play in with this virtuous family. “With the Duggar one, it was like the double-whammy because it was his sisters and the fact—I mean, honestly, I feel like we’re dealing with some topics this season that feel a bit meatier than some lunatic fringe family…I wouldn’t mind doing one just because I have never been so infuriated with someone’s level of hypocrisy, and lying, and then displacement of responsibility onto something else,” Peter Scanavino, Detective Carisi on the show, told press on set of SVU prior to the season premiere. “When I think about that guy, it boils my blood, I will say.”

Maybe we should do a live-thread that night. Heh. (Tipped by JMG reader Daddy Ray)
