Duggars

The Duggars are an American family known for the reality television series *19 Kids and Counting*, which documented Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar raising their nineteen children according to strict fundamentalist Christian values.

The name has become shorthand for unusually large families or conservative religious lifestyles that reject birth control: They've got five kids and another on the way—real Duggar energy.
